Dissection. — Cut across the deltoid within a short distance of its 

 insertion and turn it aside as far as possible without, however, 

 endeavouring to remove its tendinous origin from that part of the 

 infraspinous muscle to which it is closely adherent. This dissection 

 exposes the teres minor muscle, the origin of the lateral head of the

M. infraspinatus. — The infraspinous l muscle occupies the fossa 

 of the same name. Its origin is from the whole of the fossa, and 

 also from the aponeurotic origin of the teres minor muscle. As
