It is primarily responsible for shoulder joint movement which includes (1) it enables flexion of the humerus (2) it adducts or draws the humerus towards the body (3) it rotates the humerus medially or inwards and lastly, it is responsible for the attachment of the arm to the trunk of the body.
Therefore, it is an adductor.
