which of the following muscles move the humerus?
pectoralis major
deltoid
latissimus dorsi
biceps brachii
brachialis

Explanation:

The pectoralis major, deltoid, latissimus dorsi, and biceps brachii all contribute to the movement of the humerus. The pectoralis major can flex, adduct, and medially rotate the humerus. The deltoid can flex, extend, abduct, and rotate the humerus. The latissimus dorsi can extend, adduct, and medially rotate the humerus. The biceps brachii can flex the arm at the shoulder (humerus - scapula joint) in addition to its main function of flexing the forearm at the elbow. The brachialis primarily flexes the forearm at the elbow and has less direct action on the humerus movement.

Answer:

pectoralis major, deltoid, latissimus dorsi, biceps brachii
