Chest/Axillary Flashcards
Pectoralis Major
PA: med ½ clavicle along ant portion, sternum along ½ ant surface, 1‐7 costal cartilage, sternal end of 6th rib & aponeurosis of EAO
DA: lat lip of bicipital groove
Innervation: med and lat pectoral clavicular fibers (C5,6); sternal fibers (C6‐T1)
Actions: OC‐ Humeral adduction & medial rot.
clavicular fibers: flex an extended arm
sternal fibers: extend a flexed arm
CC‐ draws trunk upward & forward
Pectoralis Minor
PA: ribs 3‐5 along upper margins & outer surfaces near costal cartilage, fascia over adjoining ext. intercostal mm.
DA: coracoid process along med border & upper surface
Innervation: med and lat pectoral (C5‐T1)
Actions: Scapular depression assists with protraction
Subclavius
PA: 1st rib at junction of rib and its costal cartilage
DA: groove on middle 1/3 of clavicle’s inferior surface
Innervation: nerve to Subclavius (C5,6)
Actions: OC‐ Shunting (approximating) the clavicle towards the manubrium during violent extremity motions such as throwing or hitting). Also produces clavicular depression & protraction: CC‐ secondary mm of respiration
