3. What are the muscles of the pectoral region?Four pectoral muscles move the pectoral girdle
Clavicular head: Medial half of clavicle
Sternocostal head: Anterior surface of sternum, superior six costal cartilages, aponeurosis of external oblique muscle
Lateral lip of intertubercular sulcus of humerus
Pectoralis major
Pectoralis minor
Subclavius
Serratus anteriorAdducts and medially rotates humerus
3rd-5th ribs near their costal cartilages
Coracoid process of scapula
Stabilizes scapula
Lateral parts of 1st-8th ribs
Medial border of scapula
Protracts & rotates scapula

4. What movements does the pectoralis major muscle ?Pectoralis majorpowerful adduction medial rotation of the arm
clavicular head flexing the humerus
sternocostal head extending it back

5. What movements do pectoralis minor & subclavius ?Pectoralis minor stabilizes the scapula touch an object that is just out of reach.
Assists in elevating the ribs
Subclavius Anchors and depresses the clavicle, stabilizing it during movements of the upper limb.

of the pectoral girdle Strong protractor of scapula –Abduction used when punching or reaching anteriorly(boxer's
muscle).

Descends from the clavicle
Clavipectoral triangle cephalic vein can be found. formed by pectoralis major, deltoid & clavicle
Deltopectoral groove

clavicular head of pectoralis majorarm is abducted 90°; the individual then moves the arm anteriorly against resistance. If acting normally, the clavicular head can be seen and palpated.
sternocostal head of the pectoralis majorarm is abducted 60° and then adducted against resistance. If acting normally, the sternocostal head can be seen and palpated.
