Study Notes
Diaphragm
- The diaphragm is a large, dome-shaped muscle that separates the thoracic cavity from the abdominal cavity.
- It is responsible for breathing, contracting to draw air into the lungs and relaxing to expel it.
- Originates from the xiphoid process, costal cartilages of ribs 7-12, and the lumbar vertebrae L1-L3.
- Inserts into the central tendon.
- Innervated by the phrenic nerve.
- Supplied by the pericardiacophrenic, musculophrenic, posterior intercostal, superior and inferior phrenic arteries.
Thoracic Wall Muscles
- The thoracic wall muscles are involved in breathing and maintaining posture, affecting rib movement.
- External intercostal muscles support the intercostal spaces during inspiration, elevating the ribs. They originate from the lower border of the subjacent ribs and insert into the upper border of the rib above. They are innervated by the intercostal nerves and supplied by posterior intercostal, supreme intercostal, internal thoracic, and musculophrenic arteries.
- Innermost intercostal muscles prevent pushing out or drawing in of intercostal spaces during breathing. They run alongside the external intercostal muscles and have the same origin and insertion points. They are innervated by the intercostal nerves and supplied by the same arteries as external intercostals.
- Internal intercostal muscles lower the ribs in forced expiration. They originate from the costal grooves and insert into the upper border of the subjacent ribs. They are innervated by the intercostal nerves and supplied by posterior intercostal, supreme intercostal, internal thoracic, and musculophrenic arteries.
- Levatores costarum muscles elevate the ribs. They originate from the transverse processes of C7-T11 vertebrae and insert into the subjacent ribs between the tubercle and angle. They are innervated by posterior rami of thoracic spinal nerves and supplied by posterior intercostal arteries.
Pectoral Region Muscles
- Pectoralis major originates from the clavicle, sternum, costal cartilages, and external abdominal oblique aponeurosis and inserts into the lateral lip of the intertubercular sulcus of the humerus. It flexes, adducts, and medially rotates the arm. It is innervated by the medial and lateral pectoral nerves and supplied by the pectoral branch of the thoracoacromial artery, internal thoracic artery.
- Pectoralis minor originates from ribs 3-5 and inserts into the coracoid process of the scapula. It protracts and depresses the scapula and rotates it downward. It is innervated by the medial pectoral nerve and supplied by the thoracoacromial artery.
Diaphragm
- Originates Xiphoid process, costal cartilages (7-12), L1-L3 vertebrae
- Inserts into central tendon
- Innervated by phrenic nerve
- Blood supply pericardiacophrenic, musculophrenic, posterior intercostal, superior and inferior phrenic arteries
- Action draws central tendon down and forward during inspiration
External Intercostal Muscles
- Located in the thoracic wall
- Originates on lower borders of subjacent ribs
- Inserts into upper borders of subjacent ribs
- Innervated by intercostal nerves
- Blood supply posterior intercostal arteries, supreme intercostal artery, internal thoracic artery, musculophrenic artery
- Supports intercostal spaces in inspiration and expiration, elevates ribs in inspiration
Innermost Intercostal Muscles
- Located in the thoracic wall
- Originates lower borders of subjacent ribs
- Inserts into upper borders of subjacent ribs
- Innervated by intercostal nerves
- Blood supply posterior intercostal arteries, supreme intercostal artery, internal thoracic artery, musculophrenic artery
- Prevents pushing out or drawing in of intercostal spaces in inspiration and expiration, lowers ribs in forced expiration
Internal Intercostal Muscles
- Located in the thoracic wall
- Originates on costal grooves, external surface of upper margin of ribs 3-5
- Inserts into upper borders of subjacent ribs
- Innervated by intercostal nerves
- Blood supply posterior intercostal arteries, musculophrenic artery
- Prevents pushing out or drawing in of intercostal spaces in inspiration and expiration, lowers ribs in forced expiration
Pectoralis Minor
- Located in pectoral region
- Originates on the Coracoid process of scapula
- Inserts into medial and lateral pectoral nerves
- Innervated by the pectoral branch of the thoracoacromial artery, superior and lateral thoracic arteries
- Lowers the lateral angle of the scapula and protracts the scapula
Serratus Anterior
- Located in the shoulder region
- Originates on lateral surfaces of medial border of ribs 1-9
- Inserts into costal surface of scapula
- Innervated by long thoracic nerve
- Blood supply lateral thoracic artery
- Protracts and rotates scapula and holds it against the thoracic wall
Subclavius
- Located in the shoulder region
- Originates on the upper border of the 1st rib and costal cartilage
- Inserts into inferior surface of middle one-third of clavicle
- Innervated by subclavian nerve
- Blood supply clavicular branch of thoracoacromial artery
- Anchors and depresses the clavicle
Subcostal Muscles
- Located in the thoracic wall
- Originates on the internal surfaces of lower ribs near their angles
- Inserts into superior borders of ribs that are the 2nd or 3rd below the muscle origin
- Innervated by intercostal nerves
- Blood supply posterior intercostal arteries, musculophrenic artery
- Depresses ribs
Transversus Thoracis
- Located in the thoracic wall
- Originates on the internal surfaces of caudal sternum, costal cartilages 2-6
- Inserts into posterior surface of costal cartilages
- Innervated by intercostal nerves
- Blood supply internal thoracic artery
- Depresses ribs and costal cartilages
Anatomical Variation
- Variations in spinal nerve contribution to muscle innervation
- Variations in arterial supply
- Variations in muscle attachments
- Variations in muscle actions
- Anatomical variation is normal
