Study Notes
Muscles and their Functions
- Pectoralis major muscle is responsible for flexion, adduction, and medial rotation of the arm.
- The muscle that extends the flexed arm is the deltoid, particularly the posterior fibers.
- Muscle responsible for raising the ribs during forced inspiration is the external intercostals.
Innervation and Blood Supply
- Pectoralis major muscle is supplied by the lateral and medial pectoral nerves.
- Subclavius muscle is supplied by the nerve to the subclavius.
- Both pectoralis major and subclavius receive blood through branches from the thoracoacromial trunk.
Muscle Origins and Insertions
- Clavicular head of the Pectoralis major originates from the medial half of the clavicle.
- The insertion point of the Pectoralis major is the lateral lip of the bicipital groove of the humerus.
- Serratus anterior muscle originates from the upper eight or nine ribs.
- The first digitations of the Serratus anterior muscle insert into the medial border of the scapula.
