Anatomy & Physiology of the Shoulder Joint [Abduction/Adduction & Flexion/Extension]
In this video, we cover the shoulder joint and the various movements [Abduction/Adduction & Flexion/Extension]. We look at the muscles and their actions, origins, and insertions.

Anatomy & Physiology of Scapular Protraction (Abduction) & Retraction (Adduction)
In this video, we discuss two movements of the scapula that correspond with shoulder flexion and extension: protraction and retraction, respectively. We will see the muscles of these movements, their origins, insertions, and actions.
