What muscle agonists antagonists and assisters are involved in shoulder extension and flexion?
The muscles located in the shoulder and move the arm are: the deltoid, teres major, and rotator cuff muscles. The deltoid muscle is like three muscles in one: the anterior fibers flex the shoulder, the lateral fibers abduct the arm, and the posterior fibers extend the shoulder. The rotator cuff muscles are the supraspinatus , infraspinatus , teres minor, and subscapularis . They can be remembered with the mnemonic SITS. The primary function of the rotator cuff muscles is holding the head of the humerus in the glenoid cavity. They act more to assist the other muscles.
Is the rotator cuff a muscle in the human body?
Yes, the rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons in the shoulder that help stabilize and move the shoulder joint.
What are the muscles that contribute to the rotator cuff?
1- Supraspinatus and its function is to abduct the arm ,and it's innervated by the Suprascapular nerve. 2- Infraspinatus muscle and its function is to externally rotate the arm ,and it's innervated by the Suprascapular nerve. 3- Teres minor muscle and its function is to externally rotate the arm ,and it's innervated by the Axillary nerve. 4- Subscapularis muscle and its function is to internally rotate the humerus ,and it's innervated by the Upper and Lower subscapular nerve.

Your pectoral muscle allows you to do a push up. When you do a push up you use your pectoral muscle, your tricep muscle, and you use your shoulder back at the rotator cuff.
What muscle is the main antagonist of medial rotation of the humerus?
The main antagonist of medial rotation of the humerus is the infraspinatus muscle, one of the rotator cuff muscles. It works in opposition to the muscles that perform medial rotation, such as the subscapularis.
What is teres minor?
The teres minor is a small muscle located in the rotator cuff of the shoulder. Its main function is to assist in the rotation of the arm away from the body and helps with shoulder stability. Strengthening this muscle can help prevent shoulder injuries and improve overall shoulder function.
Is Teres Minor considered a rotator cuff muscle?

What is cuff muscles?
The rotator cuff is comprised of four muscles. These individual muscles combine at the shoulder to form a thick "cuff" over this joint. The rotator cuff has the important job of stabilizing the shoulder as well as elevating and rotating the arm. Each muscle originates on the shoulder blade, or scapula, and inserts on the arm bone, or humerus.
