    The quadrangular and triangular spaces are inter-muscular spaces below the shoulder joint. The quadrangular space has boundaries of the teres minor, subscapularis, shoulder joint capsule, teres major, and triceps, and contains the posterior circumflex humeral vessels and axillary nerve. The upper triangular space has boundaries of the teres minor, subscapularis, and teres major, and transmits the circumflex scapular artery. The lower triangular space has boundaries of the teres major, triceps, and humerus, and contains the radial nerve and profunda brachii vessels.

    joint.
    Below: by teres major. ●
    Medially: by long head of triceps. ●
    Laterally: by surgical neck of humerus. ●
