What are the pectoral region muscles?
- Pectoralis major
- pectoralis minor
- Serratus anterior
- Subcalviculus
Pectoralis major
Origin- Clavicular head and sternocostal head
Insert- sulcus of humerus
Function= Adducts and medially rotates
Pectoralis minor
Origin- 3rd and 4th rib
Inserts- caracoid process
Function= stabalises scapular, drawing in anterior inferiorly
Subclaviculus
Origin- 1st rib
Insert- mid clavicle
Function= Anchors clavicle
Serratus anterior
Origin- Rib 1-8 lateral
Insert - medial border of scapula
Function= rotates scapula, allows arm raised over 90^oc
