Pectoralis Minor
P: 3rd-5th ribs near their costal cartilages
D: medial border and superior surface of coracoid process
I: medial and lateral pectoral nerves (C5-T1)

Subclavius
P: junction of 1st rib and its costal cartilage
D: inferior surface of middle 1/3 of clavicle
I: nerve to subclavius (C5-C6)
A: depresses and moves clavicle forward (provides protection for nerves, veins, and arteries); Assists shoulder depression
Subscapularis

D: floor of inter-tubercular groove
I: thoracodorsal nerve (C6-C8)
A: extends, adducts, medially rotates humerus; with insertion fixed, will hyperextend spine and anteriorly tilt pelvis
Teres Major
P: posterior surface of inferior angle of scapula
D: medial lip of intertubercular groove of humerus
