Action of the anterior muscles
Flexion
Name the joints of the hand from distal to proximal
Distal interphalangeal joint (IP joint)
Proximal interphalangeal joint
Metacarpophalangeal joint
2 heads of pectoralis major m of anterior side
Clavicular & sternocostal heads
Actions of pectoralis major m (anterior)
Flexes, adducts (add back to body), medially rotate
Innervation of pectoralis MAJOR
Lateral & medial pectoral nerve
Name the 3 axioappendicular m
Pectoralis major m

Attachments of pectoralis minor m
Ribs 3 to 5
Coracoid process of scapula (you can only feel it on the anterior side)
Innervation of pectoralis MINOR m
Medial pectoral nerve
Serratus anterior m actions
Protract scapula
Innervation of Serratus anterior m (attached to ribs 1-8 and medial border and scapula)
Long thoracic nerve (it’s along muscle, attached to many ribs!)
Scapulohumeral m (6)
Deltoid SITS: Supraspinatus Infraspinatus Teres minor Subscapularis ------- Teres major m
Muscles of the rotator cuff of scapulohumeral m
SITS
Supraspinatus (superior to spine of scapula)
Infraspinatus m
Teres MINOR (can’t stand alone, must be on its own)
Subscapularis
Name the 3 compartments of the arm by fascia (same layer, tho)
Brachial fascia
Antebrachial fascia (forearm)
Palmar fascia/palmar aponeurosis
What so medial & lateral inter muscular septa of brachial fascia do?
Divide arm into anterior (flexor) and posterior (extensor) component
3 m of anterior/flexor compartment of arm
Biceps brachii
Brachialis
Coracobrachialis
Supinator (turn palms up to hold bowls of soup) of anterior compartment of arm
Biceps brachii
Primary FOREarm flexor in anterior arm
Brachialis m
It is kind of the predecessor to Brachioradialis, which is a flexor and this breaks 2 rules!
Attachments of coracobrachialis m
Coracoid process to humerus
Name the ONE muscle of posterior compartment of arm
