Module 2: Upper Limb Flashcards
what is the rib span of the scapula?
2nd -7th rib
acromial facet of the clavicle
area that articulates w/ acromion of the scapula
pectoralis major
- proximal attachment: ant. med. surface of clavicle, lateral edge of sternocostal head (superior 6 cartilages)
- distal attachment: lateral lip of intertubercular sulcus of humerus. clavicular head
- innervation: lateral and medial pectoral nerves, (C5, C6), sternocostal head (C7, C8, T1)
- action: adducts and medially rotates shoulder joint, draws scapula anteriorly and inferiorly.
pectoralis minor
- proximal attach: 3rd-5th ribs near costal cartilages.
- distal attach: medial border and superior surface of coracoid process of scapula.
- innervation: medial pectoral nerve (C8, T1)
- action: stabilizes scapula by drawing inferiorly and anteriorly against thoracic wall.

- dist. attach: ant. surface of med. border of scapula.
- innervation long thoracic nerve (C5, C6, C7)
- action: protract scap. and holds against thoracic wall; rotates scapula.
