    Study Notes

    Pectoral Muscles Overview

    • Pectoralis Major originates from the clavicular head (medial clavicle) and sternal head (sternum, upper 6 costal cartilages).
    • The insertion of Pectoralis Major is at the lateral lip of the intertubercular groove of the humerus.
    • Primary actions of Pectoralis Major include flexion, medial rotation, and horizontal adduction of the upper extremity.
    • Innervated by the lateral pectoral nerve (C5,6,7) and medial pectoral nerve (C8,T1).

    Pectoralis Minor Details

    • Pectoralis Minor originates from the 3rd to 5th ribs.
    • Inserts at the coracoid process of the scapula.
    • The muscle functions to draw the scapula inferiorly and anteriorly.
    • Innervation is provided by the medial pectoral nerve (C8,T1).

    Subclavius Muscle

    • Originates from the 1st rib.
    • Inserts at the middle third of the clavicle.
    • Acts to depress the clavicle.
    • Innervated by the nerve to subclavius (C5,6).

    Serratus Anterior Function

    • Originates from the lateral surface of ribs 1-8.
    • Inserts at the medial border of the scapula.
    • Holds the scapula against the thoracic wall and facilitates protraction and retraction of the scapula.
    • Innervated by the long thoracic nerve (C5,6,7).
