The pectoral muscles The pectoral muscles are 4 muscles; these are pectoralis major, pectoralis minor, subclavius, and serratus anterior. Pectoralis major This is a large, powerful, fan-shaped (triangular) muscle. It is attached by means of two heads to the front of the chest Pectoralis major Clavicular head arises from the medial half of the clavicle Pectoralis major Sterno-costal head is attached to the anterior surface of the sternum and to the upper six costal cartilages Pectoralis major Insertion The muscle fibers converge to be inserted into the lateral lip of the intertubercular groove of the humerus Pectoralis major Trilaminar insertion The clavicular head is inserted by the anterior lamina of the tendon Pectoralis major Trilaminar insertion the manubrial fibers are inserted into the intermediate lamina of insertion Pectoralis major Trilaminar insertion the sterno-costal fibers arising below the sternal angle are inserted into the posterior lamina of the tendon Pectoralis major insertion The fibers which arise lowest of all are inserted highest of all Pectoralis major insertion this produces the rounded appearance of the anterior axillary fold Pectoralis major Nerve supply Pectoralis major Action The muscle is an adductor of the arm at the shoulder joint Pectoralis major Action The muscle is a medial rotator of the arm at the shoulder joint Pectoralis major Action The clavicular head alone flexes the humerus Pectoralis major Action From a fixed insertion, the muscle acts as an accessory muscle of respiration and in climbing Pectoralis major test To test the integrity of the muscle, the arm is abducted to 90o or more and the patient pushes forwards against resistance Absence of pectoralis major Rectus sternalis One body in 20 (5%) shows the presence of vertical musculoaponeurotic fibers on the surface of pectoralis major alongside the sternum Morphology of the body wall muscles The body wall of all vertebrates consists of three layers of muscles Morphology of the body wall muscles embryologically, pectoral muscles are derived from upper limb myotomes Morphology of the body wall muscles morphologically, pectoral muscles belong to the outer layer of the three primitive layers of the body wall, represented in the abdomen by the external oblique Morphology of the body wall muscles Towards the midline, ventrally and dorsally, the three layers change direction to make muscles that run longitudinally. Morphology of the body wall muscles Ventrally, the longitudinal muscle is formed by fusion together of all three layers Morphology of the body wall muscles It begins behind the symphesis menti as the geniohyoid, thyrohyoid, sternohyoid, omohyoid, and sternothyroid. Morphology of the body wall muscles Then the rectus abdominis begins and extends to the symphysis pubis Morphology of the body wall muscles There is a gap where the sternum and costal cartilages intervene Morphology of the body wall muscles Traces of the ventral rectus muscle appear in this gap in front of the sternal fibers of pectoralis major forming the rectus sternalis muscle Delto-pectoral triangle 1/3 Since deltoid muscle is attached to the 1/2 lateral third of the clavicle and pectoralis major to the medial half, there is a small part of the clavicle to which neither muscle is attached. Delto-pectoral triangle This part forms the base of a triangular space (delto-pectoral triangle) between the two muscles, deltoid and pectoralis major Delto-pectoral triangle The delto-pectoral triangle may be visible in thin people. Delto-pectoral triangle It contains lymph nodes called infraclavicular lymph nodes; it also contains the Cephalic v . termination of the cephalic vein Delto-pectoral triangle The floor of the triangle is formed by deep fascia called the clavi-pectoral fascia Pectoralis minor This is a small triangular muscle that is largely covered by pectoralis major Pectoralis minor It arises from the 3rd, 3 4th, and 4 5th ribs (not costal 5 cartilages); and is inserted into the coracoid process of the scapula Pectoralis minor Its nerve supply is the same as that of pectoralis major namely medial and lateral pectoral nerves. Lateral pectoral The medial nerve pectoral nerve passes through Medial pectoral pectoralis minor nerve to reach the overlying pectoralis major Nerve supply Action of pectoralis minor The muscle stabilizes the scapula and can pull it forwards against the thoracic wall (protraction). The muscle is elongated in full abduction of the arm; its subsequent contraction assists gravity in restoring the scapula to the rest position Action of pectoralis minor The muscle is of no great functional importance; however, it is an important anatomical and surgical landmark being a landmark to the underlying axillary artery Chest, cross section at T4 Chest: axial CT Note pectoralis major Pectoralis major pectoralis minor Pectoralis minor Subclavius This is a small unimportant muscle that as its name indicates lies inferior to the clavicle Subclavius It arises from the first costo-chondral junction and is inserted into the subclavian groove on the inferior surface of the clavicle the muscle thus lies almost horizontally Action of subclavius The muscle acts to stabilize the clavicle during shoulder movement. Prime mover fixator Action of subclavius It may prevent the jagged ends of a fractured clavicle from damaging the adjacent subclavian vein. Nerve supply of subclavius nerve to subclavius A branch of the brachial plexus (roots of C5 &6) Clavipectoral Costo-coracoid ligament fascia This is a sheet of deep fascia filling in the space between the clavicle and pectoralis minor (hence the name) Clavipectoral fascia The fascia splits twice to enclose two muscles above to enclose subclavius below to enclose pectoralis minor Clavipectoral fascia At the inferior border of pectoralis minor, the two layers of fascia rejoin and extend downwards as the suspensory ligament of the axilla The suspensory ligament of the axilla Is attached to the deep fascia of the floor of the axilla. By its tension, it maintains the axillary hollow Clavipectoral fascia The clavi-pectoral fascia is almost completely covered by pectoralis major and deltoid muscles; a small portion of it appears at the floor of the delto-pectoral triangle Clavipectoral fascia Four structures two passing inwards and two passing outwards pierce the clavi- pectoral fascia Clavipectoral fascia Passing inwards are lymphatic vessels from the infraclavicular ymph nodes to the apical group of axillary lymph nodes and the cephalic vein draining into the axillary vein Clavipectoral fascia Passing outwards are the acromio- thoracic axis (artery) which is a branch of the axillary artery and the lateral pectoral nerve Lateral pectoral nerve On the cadaver note that the medial pectoral nerve pierces pectoralis minor while the lateral pectoral nerve pierces the clavi-pectoral fascia Lateral pectoral nerve at a position more medial to the lateral Medial pectoral pectoral nerve. nerve In other words, the relation of the pectoral nerves in the pectoral region is the reverse of their names The names of these medial laterall pectoral n. pectoral n. nerves (medial and lateral) are derived Pectoralis minor from their origin from the cords of the brachial plexus (medial and lateral cords Axillary v. respectively) rather Medial than their relation in cord Axillary a. lateral cord the pectoral region posterior cord Serratus anterior This muscle was given its name because of the sow- toothed appearance (L. Serratus = a sow) of its origin where the muscle arises by 8 digitations from the upper eight ribs lateral to their angles Serratus anterior Since external oblique muscle arises from the lower eight ribs, then the lower 4 external digitations of serratus oblique anterior inter-digitate with the upper 4 digitations of external oblique Serratus anterior The muscle forms a flat sheet that is attached to the anterior aspect of the medial border of the scapula Serratus anterior The muscle is supplied by the long thoracic nerve, a branch of the brachial plexus Serratus anterior action The muscle acting as a whole protracts the scapula (i.e. moves the scapula forwards) and is used by boxers to deliver a straight left Serratus anterior action acts as a fixator of the scapula during movements of the humerus Prime mover fixator Serratus anterior action The lower fibers are very strong, they pull forwards on the lower angle of the scapula and thus rotate the scapula so that the glenoid cavity faces upwards (as in raising the arm above the head) Serratus anterior action this is similar to the coupled action of the upper and lower fibers trapezius Serratus anterior action In quadrupeds, serratus anterior suspends the trunk between the forelimbs .

Identify the major structural and tissue components of the female breast, including its blood supply. 2. Identify examples of axillary lymph nodes and understand the lymphatic drainage of the breast. 3. Identify the pectoralis major, pectoralis minor, and serratus anterior muscles. Demonstrate their bony attachments, nerve supply, and actions. 4. Identify the walls and associated muscles of the axilla. 5. Identify the axillary sheath, axillary vein, and the 6 major branches of the axillary artery. 6. Identify and trace the cords of the brachial plexus and their branches. DISSECTION NOTES: The donor should be in the supine position. Breast 1. The breast or mammary gland is a modified sweat gland embedded in the superficial fascia overlying the anterior chest wall. Refer to Fig. 2.5A for incisions for reflecting skin of the pectoral region to the mid-arm. Do this bilaterally. Within the superficial fascia in front of the shoulder and along the lateral and lower medial portions of the arm locate the cephalic and basilic veins and preserve these for now. Observe the course of the cephalic vein from the arm into the deltopectoral groove between the deltoid and pectoralis major muscles. 2. For those who have a female donor, mobilize the breast by inserting your fingers behind it within the retromammary space and separate it from the underlying deep fascia of the pectoralis major (see Fig. 2.7). An extension of breast tissue (axillary tail) from the superolateral (upper outer) quadrant often extends around the lateral border of the pectoralis major muscle into the axilla.

Abstract: Poland’s syndrome (PS) is a rare musculoskeletal congenital anomaly with a wide spectrum of presentations. It is typically characterized by hypoplasia or aplasia of pectoral muscles, mammary hypoplasia and variably associated ipsilateral limb anomalies. Limb defects can vary in severity, ranging from syndactyly to phocomelia. Most cases are sporadic but familial cases with intrafamilial variability have been reported. Several theories have been proposed regarding the genesis of PS. Vascular disruption theory, “the subclavian artery supply disruption sequence” (SASDS) remains the most accepted pathogenic mechanism. Clinical presentations can vary in severity from syndactyly to phocomelia in the limbs and in the thorax, rib defects to severe chest wall anomalies with impaired lung function.

Ltd., Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India Abstract The clavicle is the most frequently fractured bone in humans. General anesthesia with or without Regional Anesthesia (RA) is most frequently used for clavicle surgeries due to its complex innervation. Many RA techniques, alone or in combination, have been used for clavicle surgeries. These include interscalene block, cervical plexus (superficial and deep) blocks, SCUT (supraclavicular nerve + selective upper trunk) block, and pectoral nerve blocks (PEC I and PEC II). The clavipectoral fascial plane block is also a safe and simple option and replaces most other RA techniques due to its lack of side effects like phrenic nerve palsy or motor block of the upper limb.

There are four muscles in the pectoral region: pectoralis major, pectoralis minor, subclavius and ser- ratus anterior. The muscles of the pectoral region attach the upper limb to the axial skeleton. The pectoralis major muscle is positioned immediately deep to the superficial fascia. The pecto- ralis major muscle comprises two heads 1) Clavicular head 2) Sternocostal head. It originates from the clavicle, manubrium, sternum, costal cartilage, aponeurosis of external oblique muscle of abdomen and inserted on humerus.
