Question Answer
Origin of pectoralis major clavicular head Anterior surface of medial clavicle
Insertion of pectoralis major lateral lip of intertubercular sulcus
Origin of the pectoralis major sternocostal head anterior surface of sternum and superior six costal cartilages
Innervation of pectoralis major lateral pectoral nerve and medial pectoral nerve
Actions of pectoralis major Both: ADDUCT and medially ROTATE humerus Clavicular: FLEXES humerus Sternocostal head: EXTENDS humerus from a flexed position
Origin of Pectoralis minor Ribs 3-5 near their costal cartilages
Insertion of pectoralis minor Coracoid process
innervation of pectoralis minor medial pectoral nerve
Action of pectoralis minor STABILIZES scapula by drawing it inferiorly and anteriorly against thoracic wall
Origin of subclavius Junction of the 1st rib and costal cartilage
Insertion of subclavius Inferior, middle clavicle
innervation of subclavius nerve to subclavius
action of subclavius ANCHORS and DEPRESSES clavicle
Origin of Serratus anterior Lateral parts of ribs 1-8
Insertion of serratus anterior anterior surface of medial border of scapula
Innervation of serratus anterior long thoracic nerve
Actions of serratus anterior PROTRACTS scapula HOLDS scapula against the thoracic wall superior ROTATION of scapula
Apex boundary of the Axilla Cervico-axillary canal
Base boundary of axilla armpit (skin, subcutaneos tissue, axillary fascia)
anterior boundary of axilla Pectoralis major, pectoralis minor, pectoral and clavipectoral fascia
Lateral boundary of the axilla intertubercular groove of the humerus
Medial boundary of the axilla thoracic wall and serratus anterior
Posterior boundary of the axilla superiorly via the scapula and subscapularis Inferiorly via teres major and latissimus dorsi
Contents within the axillary sheath axillary artery & branches Axillary vein & tributaries Brachial plexus (cords and branches)
Contents outside of the axillary sheath Axillary lymph nodes & lymphatic vessels Axillary fat
Branches of the thoracoacromial artery Clavicular Acromial Deltoid Pectoral
Major branches from the Axillary artery Superior thoracic Artery Thoracoacromial artery Lateral thoracic artery Subscapular artery Anterior circumflex humeral artery Posterior circumflex humeral artery
Major branches of subclavian artery Vertebral artery Internal thoracic artery Thyrocervical trunk Costocervical trunk Dorsal Scapular artery
