138
These are upper limb muscles that attach to the thoracic cage Anteriorly (4) ? Posteriorly (1) ?
``` Comprise Anteriorly… Pectoralis major Pectoralis minor Serratus anterior Subclavius Posteriorly: latissimus dorsi ```
139
Pectoralis Major Origion Insertion Action Innervation
Origin: clavicle, sternum, and costal cartilages of ribs 2 – 5, or 2 – 6 (sometimes 1 – 7) Insertion: intertubercular sulcus (AKA intertubercular groove) of humerus Action: adducts and medially rotates humerus at the shoulder joint Innervation: lateral and medial pectoral nerves
140
Pectoralis Minor Origion Insertion Action Innervation
Origin: Ribs 2 – 5, or 3 – 5, or 2 - 4 Insertion: coracoid process (of scapula) Action: abducts (protracts) scapula and rotates it downward; elevates ribs during forced inhalation when scapula is fixed Innervation: medial pectoral nerve
141
Serratus anterior Origion Insertion Action Innervation
Origin: superior eight or nine ribs Insertion: vertebral border and inferior angle of scapula Action: abducts scapula and rotates it upward; elevates ribs when scapula is fixed. Termed “boxer’s muscle” because it is important in horizontal arm movements such as punching and pushing Innervation: long thoracic nerve
142
Injury to the long thoracic nerve results in paralysis of the
serratus anterior muscle. | winged scapular
143
When the arm is raised, the vertebral border and inferior angle of the scapula pull away from the thoracic wall and protrude outward, causing the medial border of the scapula to protrude. The arm can not be abducted beyond the horizontal position. Because the scapula looks like a wing, this condition is called a winged scapula.
Long thoracic nerve injury
144
Subclavius muscle Origion Insertion Action Innervation
Origin: first rib Insertion: clavicle Action: Depresses clavicle and moves it anteriorly. Helps stabilize pectoral girdle Innervation: subclavian nerve (AKA nerve to the subclavius)

Superficial back muscles ventral rami of cervical nerves (except the trapezius receives its motor fibers from a cranial nerve (CN XI, the accessory nerve))
147
Trapezius Origion Insertion Action Innervation
Origin: external occipital protuberance, superior nuchal line (of occipital bone), nuchal ligament (ligamentum nuchae), and spinous processes of C7 - T12 Insertion: clavicle, acromion and spine of scapula Action: superior fibers elevate scapula and extend head, middle fibers adduct (retract) scapula, inferior fibers depress scapula Innervation: accessory nerve (CN XI)
148
Latissimus Dorsi Origion Insertion Action Innervation
Origin: spinous processes of inferior 6 thoracic vertebrae, lumbar vertebrae (T7 – L5), crests of sacrum and ilium Insertion: intertubercular sulcus (AKA intertubercular groove) of humerus Action: extends, adducts, and medially rotates humerus at shoulder joint, draws arm inferiorly and posteriorly, raises body toward arms during climbing Innervation: thoracodorsal nerve
149
Where does the trapezius receive its motor fibers from?
CN XI, the accessory nerve (unlike the other superficial back muscles i.e. Lats, levator scapulae, and rhomboids
