Ascending: depresses
Middle/all parts together: retracts scapula

SCM innervation
Spinal accessory nerve (CN XI, motor); C2 and C3 nerves (pain and proprioception)
SCM action
Unilateral contraction: tilts head to same side (i.e. laterally flexes neck) and rotates it so face is turned superiorly toward opposite side Bilateral contraction: (1) extends neck at atlanto-occipital joints, (2) flexes cervical vertebrae so that chin approaches manubrium, (3) extends superior cervical vertebrae while flexing inferior vertebrae so chin is thrust forward with head kept level
With cervical vertebrae fixed, may elevate manubrium and medial ends of clavicles, assisting pump-handle action of deep respiration

pec major insertion
lateral lip of intertubercular sulcus of humerus
pec major innervation
lateral and medial pectoral nerves; clavicular head C5 C6, sternocostal head C7 C8 T1
pec major action

serratus anterior insertion
anterior surface of medial border of scapula
serratus anterior innervation*
long thoracic nerve C5-C7
serratus anterior action
