What is the circumflex major muscle?
The anatomy application allows you to view a selection of anatomy 3D models. In this model, there are various observation methods such as surfaces, cross-sections, and nervous systems. This time, I'll explain using an anatomy application.
About the circumflex major muscle
The circumflex major muscle is one of the muscles located around a person's shoulder blades. This muscle is responsible for the essential function of rotating the arm inward. Specifically, it runs from the lower corner of the shoulder blade to the front side of the humerus bone, contributing to internal rotation of the shoulder joint and movement of the arm backward. The circular muscle is a muscle commonly used at night, and is involved in many everyday movements, such as swinging a racket with your backhand or pulling luggage on a tour. These muscles work well to support smooth and strong arm movements. Overtraining and common lifestyle habits can take a toll, so it's important to maintain strength and flexibility. Since the circumflex major muscle is a small muscle, synergy with other muscles around the shoulder blades is usually required. Therefore, it can be said that exercises that focus on the entire range of muscles around the shoulder blades are effective, rather than focusing only on the circular muscles. You can maintain shoulder health by being aware of these muscles in your daily life and utilizing them in a well-balanced manner.
Study points
Location and structure of the major muscle
The circumflex major muscle is a muscle located on the proximal part of the humerus from the outside of the shoulder blades, and helps to move smoothly around the shoulder joint. To understand the location of this muscle, it is useful to know the structure of the shoulder blades and the surrounding anatomy. The shoulder blades are triangular in shape and lie on the upper back. The major muscle that develops from its outer edge starts at the lower corner (lowest corner) of the shoulder blade. From there, it runs diagonally towards the arm and is attached to the small tuberous crest of the humerus. This muscle is thick and has the function of rotating the upper arm inward, so it is considered a member of the adductor muscle group. It also has the role of helping the shoulder joint move backwards. The circular muscle supports movement by cooperating with the latissimus dorsi muscle, levator scapula muscle, subspinalis muscle, etc., and is responsible for the accuracy and strength of movement. Structurally, muscle fibers gather in bundles of muscle fibers, and this creates the force necessary for arm movement. Coordinated action of the circular major muscle is essential for various movements around the shoulder, and therefore it is closely related to other muscles that influence shoulder movement. When understanding the muscles around the shoulder blades, it is essential to grasp the position and structure of the major muscle.
The role and function of the circumflex major muscle
The circulator major muscle is an important muscle that supports movement around the shoulder, and its main role is to rotate the arm inward. This makes it possible to smoothly pull objects or pull arms backwards. This muscle contributes to internal rotation of the shoulder joint and is particularly frequently used in sports and everyday life. For example, it works to support backhand movements in baseball and badminton, or strength when pulling heavy luggage. These movements are possible because the circular muscle is firmly attached from the shoulder blade to the humerus bone. Furthermore, the circulus maximus muscle cooperates with the latissimus dorsi muscle and the subspinous muscle to control shoulder stability and mobility, and achieve smooth movement. This coordinated function maintains an appropriate position of the shoulder blades, makes it possible to handle various arm movements, and maintains smooth movement around the shoulder. Therefore, balance with other muscles is important for the circular muscles, and they are used for multiple purposes. By working effectively these muscles, it is possible to expand the range of motion of the shoulders, maintain proper body posture, and maintain comfortable daily movements. From these points of view, the major muscle plays an important role as a foundation that supports body movements.
English notation for large circle
The great circle muscle is called “Teres Major Muscle” in English. This muscle name is of Latin origin, where “Teres” means “round” or “smooth,” and “major” means “big.” This name reflects the shape and size of the muscles. The large circular muscle that runs from the shoulder blades to the humerus has a rounded shape, and its characteristics are expressed in the expression “round.” Also, the expression “major” indicates that this muscle plays a major role in movement around the shoulder, so it is used to distinguish it from other smaller muscles. The English notation “Teres Major” also includes the importance of this muscle in supporting movement and stability around the shoulder. It supports strength and efficiency when moving shoulders, and is frequently used for everyday activities, such as lifting luggage, playing sports, and other everyday activities. From this point of view, the English name is an important expression that characterizes the functional role and shape of this muscle. The English notation not only makes muscles easier to understand, but it also functions as a common name in different languages and cultures. In the fields of medicine and anatomy, knowledge sharing is carried out smoothly by using such common international names.
How to study human anatomy
I will explain specific study methods using human anatomy applications.
Check your past learning history and practice repeatedly
Here are the steps to check your anatomy learning history and practice iteratively effectively.
1. Check your learning history in the app
Reviewing your learning history with the application is an important step in effectively advancing anatomy learning. First, launch the app and go to the learning history section from the main menu. Many anatomy apps are designed to show your progress in the form of graphs and lists, so you can visually check which parts you've learned about and how much time you've spent.
By using this data, you can understand which areas you have strengths in and where you need to spend more time and effort. We also recommend using a dedicated tag or notebook function to mark areas you are particularly weak at or where you need to relearn. Regularly checking your learning history and looking back on past learning content will lead to efficient review and deepening understanding.
2.Make a plan for iterative learning
Making an efficient repetitive learning plan based on learning history is extremely effective in promoting knowledge retention. First, identify weak points and areas where you need to relearn. Next, arrange these study items into a weekly or monthly calendar and create a specific study schedule. By proceeding in a planned manner, you can learn each part evenly and avoid packing in a large amount of information at once.
Using a task management app or digital calendar to set study reminders is effective. Also, it's important to have the flexibility to regularly review progress and revise plans as needed. By having goals and proceeding with your studies in a planned manner, you can efficiently acquire anatomical knowledge.
3.Use 3D features to learn visually
By utilizing the 3D function, learning anatomy is easier to understand visually. The 3D model shows the structure of the human body three-dimensionally, and each part can be observed in detail. This makes it possible to intuitively grasp positional relationships between deep muscles and organs that are difficult to capture in a planar view. For example, you can learn even the smallest details by rotating specific muscles and bones and zooming in and out.
Also, there are many apps that have the function of displaying cross-sectional views of each part using a 3D model, which is useful for deepening understanding of internal structures. This diversity of visual information helps with memory retention and improves immediate responsiveness in tests and practice situations. By utilizing the 3D function and learning visually, you can learn anatomy knowledge more deeply and efficiently.
Use the memo function concretely
Make notes so you don't forget the things and points you've noticed while studying. The memo function can be used for different purposes, such as inputting text, saving images, and writing memos. Tag your notes to make them easier to review later.
Test your learning regularly in the form of quizzes
Regularly testing what you've learned in a quiz format is a very effective way to anchor your anatomy knowledge. Quiz-style tests help you objectively grasp your level of understanding and areas you lack while repeating knowledge.
For example, by using a learning app to conduct quizzes every specific period, you can reconfirm what you've learned and strengthen your memory. There are a wide range of quiz formats, such as multiple choice questions, fill-in-the-blank questions, and short answer questions, and each helps understanding from a different angle and develops the ability to utilize various types of knowledge.
Get feedback
If possible, get feedback from other learners and experts. It helps you find your own gaps in understanding and areas for improvement. You can also keep yourself motivated to learn by regularly testing yourself. Feeling a sense of accomplishment and progress increases motivation for continuous learning.
