Shoulder, Breast, and Pectoral Region Flashcards
Pectoral Fascia
Covers the pectoralis major
Axillary fascia
Continuation of pectoral fascia laterally
Clavipectoral fascia
Deep to pectoralis major; encloses subclavius and pectoralis minor
Pectoralis major
Large, fan shaped muscle covering most of the anterior thoracic wall
Origin of Pectoralis major
Sternal half of clavicle, sternum to 7th rib, cartilages of true ribs, aponeurosis of external oblique muscle
Insertion of Pectoralis major
Lateral lip of intertubercular sulcus of humerus
Action of Pectoralis major
Flexes and adducts arm, rotates arm medially
Innervation of Pectoralis major
Medial and lateral pectoral nerves
Supply of Pectoralis major
Pectoral branch of thoraco‐acromial artery, perforating branches of internal thoracic artery
Origin of Pectoralis minor
Outer surface of upper margin of ribs 3–5
Insertion of Pectoralis minor
Coracoid process of scapula
Action of Pectoralis minor
Lowers lateral angle of scapula and protracts scapula
Innervation of Pectoralis minor
Medial pectoral nerve
Supply of Pectoralis minor
Pectoral branch of thoraco‐acromial and intercostal lateral thoracic arteries
Origin of Deltoid
Lateral third of anterior clavicle, lateral acromion, inferior edge of spine of scapula
Insertion of Deltoid
Deltoid tuberosity of humerus
Action of Deltoid
Rotates arm, abducts humerus from 15 to 90 degrees
Innervation of Deltoid
Axillary nerve
Supply of Deltoid
Posterior circumflex humeral artery, deltoid branch of thoraco‐acromial artery
Rotator Cuff Muscles
S i t S Supraspinatus Infraspinatus Teres minor Subscapularis
Origin of the Supraspinatus
Supraspinous fossa of scapula and deep fascia
Insertion of the Supraspinatus
Greater tubercle of the humerus
Action of the Supraspinatus
Initiates abduction of the arm with the first 15 degrees
Innervation of the Supraspinatus
Suprascapular nerve
Supply of the Supraspinatus
Suprascapular artery
Origin of the Infraspinatus
Infraspinous fossa of scapula and deep fascia
