anterior axio-appendicular muscles Flashcards
pectoralis major insertion
lateral lip of intertubercular sulcus of humerus
Pectoralis major origin
Clavicular head: anterior surface of medial half of clavicle
sternocostal head: anterior surface of sternum, superior 6 costal cartilages, aponerosis of external oblique
innervation of pectoralis major
lateral and medial pectoral nerves, clavicular head (C5,C6)
sternocostal head C7,C8,T1
action of Pectorais Major
adducts and medially rotates shoulder joint
draw scapula anteriorly and inferiorly
Alone: clavicular head flexes shoulder joint and sternocostal head extends it from the flexed position
pectoralis minor origin
3rd-5th ribs near their costal cartilages
insertion of pectoralis minor
medial border and superior surface of coracoid process
Innervation of pectoralis minor
medial pectoral nerve (c8 T1)
action of pectoralis minor
stabilizes scapula by drawing inferiorly and anteriorly against the wall
subclavius origin
junction of first rib near their costal cartilage
insertion of subclavius
inferior surface middle third clavicle
innervation of subclavius
subclavian nerve (C5 C6)
action of subclavius
anchors and depresses clavicle
serratus anterior origin
external surface of lateral parts of 1st-8th rib
insertion of serratus anterior
anterior surface of medial border of scapula
serratus anterior innervation
long thoracic nerve (C5 C6 C7)
