Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which structure is NOT part of the rotator cuff?
  • Step 1: Understand what the rotator cuff is. It is a group of muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder.
  • Step 2: Identify the muscles that are part of the rotator cuff. These include the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis.
  • Step 3: Recognize the teres major. It is a separate muscle that is located near the rotator cuff but is not included in it.
  • Step 4: Conclude that since the teres major is not one of the four muscles that make up the rotator cuff, it is the correct answer to the question.
