Breast/Thoracic Wall/Lungs Flashcards
Pectoralis Major
Lateral innervation
C5-7 (lateral pectoral nerve)
Pectoralis Major
Medial innervation
C8 and T1 (medial pectoral nerve)
Pectoralis Major
Origin
Clavicular and sternocostal heads
Pectoralis Major
Insertion
The crest of the greater tubercle (humerous)
Pectoralis Major
Movement
Upper arm:
Flexion (upper fibers better)
Adduct
Internal rotaion (horizontal flexion)
Can also extend with flexed elbow (lower fibers)
Pectoralis Major
Blood supply
Internal thoracic
lateral thoracic
intercostal
Pectoral branches of thoracoacromial trunk
Pectoralis minor
Origin
Ribs 3-5
Pectoralis minor
Insertion
Medial border of the coracoid process
Pectoralis minor
Innervation
Medial (C8 and T1)
Pectoral nerve
Pectoralis minor
Movement
Stabilizes scapula
Elevates rib cage
Where does the interal thoracic artery originate and what are its branches?
The subclavian arteries give rise to the internal thoracic arteries.
The internal thoracic arteries give rise to the anterior intercostal arteries before dividing into the epigastric and musculophrenic arteries inferiorly
What does the musculophrenic artery arise from and what does it divide into?
Arises from the interal thoracic artery and gives rise to anterior intercostal arteries 6-9
What artery supplies the rectus abdominus?
The epigastric artery (from internal thoracic)
Where is the neurovascular bunds of the ribs located?
The NV bundles runs along the inferior edges of the upper ribs
Serratus anterior
Origin and insertion
Origin - upper borders of ribs 1-8
Insertion - medial scapula
Serratus anterior
Innervation
Long thoracic nerve (C5-7)
Damage to this nerve creates winging of the scapula
What is the functional tissue of the breast?
Glandular lobules
Drain into lactiferous ducts
What gives rise to the dimpling (orange peel appearance of breast)
Glandular tumor of the breast pulling/pushing on the Cooper’s (suspensory) ligaments
