basilar artery
what nerves innervate the pectoralis major
medial and lateral pectoral nerves
what muscle has an origin at:

Sternocostal head – anterior surface of sternum, superior 6 costal cartilages, aponeurosis of external oblique
pectoralis major
what muscle has an insertion at:
Lateral lip of intertubercular (bicipital groove) of humerus (part of the PLT)
pectoralis major
what muscle:
Adducts, Internally Rotate, draws scapula anteriorly and inferiorly
Clavicular head – flexes humerus
Sternocostal head – extends humerus
pectoralis major
what is innervated by the medial pectoral nerve
pectoralis minor
what muscle:
Stabilizes scapula by drawing it inferiorly and anteriorly against thoracic wall (depresses and protracts scapula)
pectoralis minor
what muscle:
origin near ribs 3-5 near their costal cartilages
pectoralis minor
what muscle:
insertion near medial border and superior surface of coracoid process of scapula
pectoralis minor
what muscle:
causes “Rounded Shoulder Posture”
and
Neurovascular Entrapment – Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
pectoralis minor
what muscle:
origin near external surfaces of lateral parts of ribs 1-8
Serratus Anterior
what muscle:
insertion at anterior surfaces of medial border of scapula
Serratus Anterior
what muscle:
Protracts scapula and holds it against thoracic wall, upward rotation of scapula
Most important muscle that stabilizes scapula to thoracic wall
weak muscle could cause winging of the scapula**
