Abstract

The construction of our human anatomy is one of great importance. In the grand scheme of the rotational torque that our skeletomuscular body exerts, one such key structure is the Rotator Cuff Muscles. To function as a biologically sound component of the human body, the muscular composition of the Four Major Muscles: the Supraspinatus, Subscapularis, Teres Minor, and the Infraspinatus. I explored the muscular composition and substance matter of each of these 4 crucial muscles of the Rotator Cuff.  Through the various connections between the movement, location (relative to the midline of the body), and the composition of tissue, an apparent connection between the muscular damage in each of these listed muscles can be observed as well.
