Ant. Axio-Appendicular and Scapulohumeral muscles Flashcards
Insertion of pectoralis major
Lateral lip of intertubercular sulcus (groove) of humerus
Origin of pectoralis major
Clavicular head: anterior surface of medial half of clavicle
Sternocostal head: anterior surface of sternum, superior six costal cartilages, aponeurosis of external oblique muscle
Innervation of pectoralis major
Lateral and medial pectoral nerves Clavicular head (C5 and C6) Sternocostal head (C7, C8, T1)
Main actions of pectoralis major
Adducts and medially rotates shoulder joint
Draws scapula anteriorly and inferiorly
Alone : clavicular head flexes shoulder joint and sternocostal head extends it from the flexed position
Origin of pectoralis minor
3rd-5th ribs near their costal cartilages
Insertion of pectoralis minor
Medial border and superior surface of coracoid process of scapula
Innervation of pectoralis minor
Medial pectoral nerve (C8, T1)
Action of pectoralis minor
Stabilizes scapula by drawing inferiorly and anteriorly against thoracic wall
Origin of subclavius
Junction of 1st rib and its costal cartilage
Insertion of subclavius
Inferior surface of middle third of clavicle
Innervation of subclavius
Subclavian nerve (C5, C6)
Action of subclavius
Anchors and depresses clavicle
Origin of serratus anterior
External surfaces of lateral parts of 1st-8th ribs
Insertion of serratus anterior
Anterior surface of medial border of scapula
Innervation of serratus anterior
Long thoracic nerve (C5, C6, C7)
Action of serratus anterior
Protracts scapula and holds against thoracic wall; rotates scapula
