Detached slips sometimes are seen extending from the vertebral border of the scapula to the greater tubercle of the humerus probably represent detached parts of the muscular sheet and the fascial sheet may represent that muscular sheet in a fascial form.
Various slips described with the deltoideus may be related, suggesting an associated developmental relationship of these two muscles.
