Q

Where can we find the pectoralis major and what is its function?

A

Pectoralis Major

Origin: Clavicular and sternal head

Insertion: Humerus on the bicipital groove and deltoid tuberosity

Function: Medial rotation and adduction of the humerus. Additionally, flexion of the humerus.

17
Q

Where can we find the pectoralis minor what is its function?

A

Pectoralis Minor

Origin: Rib 3,4,5

Insertion: Coracoid process of the scapula

Function: Protracts and depresses scapula

18
Q

Where can we find the serratus anterior what is its function?

A

Serratus Anterior

Origin: Top of ribs 1-9

Insertion: Anterior length of the medial border of the scapula

Function: Upward rotation, abduction, and protraction of the scapula

19
Q

What are the four muscles of the thoracic cage and what do they do?

A

1. External intercostals

Function: Inhalation through elevation of the rib cage

2. Internal intercostals

Function: Exhalation

3. Innermost intercostals

Function: Exhalation

4. Transversus thoracis

Function: Compression of the thoracic cavity and thus, forced exhalation

20
Q

How many domes does the diaphragm have?

A

Has three parts that give rise to two domes.

21
Q

What are the six muscles of the abdomen and what do they do?

A

1. External oblique

Origin: Ribs 5-12

Insertion: Linea alba

Function: Compresses abdomen, flexes vertebral column, and lateral rotation

2. Internal oblique

Origin: Hipbone and inguinal ligament

Insertion: Linea alba and ribs 10-12 Function: Compresses abdomen, flexes vertebral column, and lateral rotation

3. Transversus abdominis

Origin: Costal cartilages of ribs 7-12

Insertion: Linea alba and xiphoid process

Function: Compresses the abdomen

4. Linea alba

Function: Point of insertion for many muscles

5. Tendinous intersections

Function: Three tendinous divisions

6. Rectus abdominus

Origin: Hipbone

Insertion: Costal cartilages of ribs 5-7 and the xiphoid process

Function: Compresses the abdomen and flexes the vertebral column
