Pectoral region and axilla Flashcards
PECTORALIS MAJOR MUSCLE medial
medial half of the clavicle, 2-6 costal cartilages, anterior layer of the rectus sheath
PECTORALIS MAJOR MUSCLE lateral
crest of the greater tubercle of the humerus
PECTORALIS MAJOR MUSCLE function
flexes, adducts, and medially rotates the humerus
PECTORALIS MAJOR MUSCLE innervation
medial and lateral pectoral nerves (C5-T1)
PECTORALIS MAJOR MUSCLE vascularization
pectoral branch of the thoraco-acromial artery
two heads of the PECTORALIS MAJOR MUSCLE
clavicular head and sternocostal head (the two heads meet at the sternoclavicular joint)
DELTOPECTORAL TRIANGLE borders
superior border of the clavicular head of the pectoralis major muscle and the inferior border of the deltoid muscle near the clavicle
DELTOPECTORAL TRIANGLE narrows to form the
deltopectoral groove
what is deep to the CLAVICULAR HEAD
lateral pectoral nerve and the pectoral branch of the thoracoacromial artery
deep to the PECTORALIS MAJOR MUSCLE
clavipectoral fascia, pectoralis minor muscle, and subclavius muscle
PECTORALIS MINOR MUSCLE inferior
ribs 3-5 near their costal cartilages
PECTORALIS MINOR MUSCLE superior
coracoid process of the scapula
PECTORALIS MINOR MUSCLE function
draws the glenoid cavity of the scapula anteriorly and inferiorly
PECTORALIS MINOR MUSCLE innervation
medial and lateral pectoral nerve (C8, T1)
PECTORALIS MINOR MUSCLE vascularization
pectoral branch of the thoracoacromial artery
SUBCLAVIUS MUSCLE location
inferior to the clavicle; attached to the clavicle and the first rib
SUBCLAVIUS MUSCLE function
depresses the clavicle
SUBCLAVIUS vascularization
clavicular branch of the thoracoacromial artery
SUBCLAVIUS innervation
nerve to the subclavius
branches of the thoracoacromial artery
pectoral branch (largest), deltoid branch, acromial branch, clavicular branch
SERRATUS ANTERIOR MUSCLE anterior
ribs 1-9
SERRATUS ANTERIOR MUSCLE posterior
anterior surface of the scapula along the entire length of its medial border
SERRATUS ANTERIOR MUSCLE function
protracts the scapula and rotates the scapula (when the arm is abducted above the horizontal plane)
SERRATUS ANTERIOR MUSCLE vascularization
?
SERRATUS ANTERIOR MUSCLE innervation
long thoracic nerve (C5-C7)
AXILLA region function
region of passage for vessels and nerves that course from the root of the neck into the upper limb
AXILLA region components
axillary sheath, brachial plexus, axillary vessels and their branches, lymph nodes and lymphatic vessels, portions of 3 muscles, and fat and connective tissue
apex of the axilla
bounded by the clavicle anteriorly, the superior border of the scapula posteriorly, and the first rib medially
base of the axilla
skin and fascia of the armpit
anterior wall of the axilla
pectoralis major muscle, pectoralis minor muscle, and clavipectoral fascia
posterior wall of the axilla
teres major and latissimus dorsi muscles and the subscapularis muscle that covers the anterior surface of the scapula
lateral wall of the axilla
intertubercular sulcus of the humerus
AXILLARY ARTERY location begins
begins at the lateral border of the first rib where it is the continuation of the subclavian artery; (axillary artery is surrounded by the brachial plexus)
AXILLARY ARTERY location ends
ends at the inferior border of the teres major muscle where its name changes to brachial artery
