Classification Muscular Groups Upper Limb

The document describes the muscles of the upper limb, dividing them into four groups: 1) Muscles of the shoulder including the pectoralis major and minor, serratus anterior, subscapularis, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor and major, latissimus dorsi, and deltoid. 2) Muscles of the arm including the biceps brachii, coracobrachialis, brachialis, and triceps brachii. 3) Muscles of the forearm including flexors like the pronator teres and extensors like the brachioradialis in the lateral group. 4)
