25
Q

Pectoralis minor Proximal attachment

A

3rd to 5th ribs near their costal cartilages

26
Q

Subclavius Proximal attachment

A

Junction of 1s rib and its costal cartilage

27
Q

Serratus anterior Proximal attachment

A

external surfaces of lateral parts of 1st-8th ribs

28
Q

Pectoralis Major distal attachment

A

Lateral lip of intertubercular sulcus groove of humerus

29
Q

Pectoralis minor distal attachment

A

Medial border and superior surface of coracoid process of scapula

30
Q

Subclavius distal attachment

A

Inferior surface of middle theird clavicle

31
Q

Serratus anterior distal attachment

A

Anterior surface of medial border of scapula

32
Q

Pectoralis major Innervation

A

Lateral and medial pectoral nerves, clavicular head = C5, C6, Sternocostal head = C7, C8, T1

33
Q

Pectoralis minor Innervation

A

medial pectoral nerve C8 and T1

34
Q

Subclavius innervation

A

Subclavian nerve C5 and C6

35
Q

Serratus anterior Innervation

A

Long thoracic nerve C5, C6 and C7

36
Q

Pectoralis major actions

A

Adducts and medially rotates shoulder joint, draws scapula anteriorly and inferiorly,

Acting alone clavicular head flexes shoulder joint and sternocostal head extends it from the flexed position

37
Q

Pectoralis minor actions

A

Stabilizes scapula by drawing inferiorly and anteriorly against thoracic wall

38
Q

Subclavius actions

A

Anchors and depresses clavicle

39
Q

Serratus anterior actions

A

Protracts scapula and holds against thoracic wall, rotates scapula

40
Q

Biceps Brachii Proximal attachment

A

Short head: tip of coracoid process of scapula

Long head: supraglenoid tubercle of scapula

41
Q

Brachialis Proximal attachment

A

Distal half of anterior surface of humerus

42
Q

Coracobrachialis Proximal attachment

A

tip of coracoid process of scapula

43
Q

Triceps brachii Proximal attachment

A

Long head: infraglenoid tubercle of scapula
Lateral head: posterior surface of humerus, superior to radial groove
medial head: posterior surface of humerus, inferior to radial groove

44
Q

Biceps Brachii Distal attachment

A

tuberosity of radius and fascia of forearm via bicepital aponeurosis

45
Q

Q

Coracobrachialis Distal attachment

A

middle third of medial surface of humerus

47
Q

Triceps Brachii Distal attachment

A

proximal end of olecranon of ulna and fascia of forearm

supinates forearm and when it is supinated flexes elbow joint; flexes shoulder joint; short head resists dislocation of shoulder

53
Q

brachialis actions

A

flexes elbow joint in all positions

54
Q

Coracobrachialis actions

A

Helps flex and adduct shoulder joint, resists dislocation of shoulder

55
Q

triceps brachii actions

A

chief extensor of elbow joints; long head extends shoulder joint and resists dislocation of humerus (especially important during abduction)

56
