100
This end of the clavicle attaches to the sternum.
What is sternal end?
200
This muscle attaches to the lateral surface of the upper 8 ribs and the anterior surface of the vertebral border of the scapula.
What is Serratus Anterior?
200
This nerve innervates the Pectoralis Minor.
What is Medial Pectoral nerve?
200

What is Subclavius?
300
This nerve innervates the Subclavius.
What is Subclavian nerve?
300
This muscle can be palpated along the posterolateral surface of the rib cage toward its insertion on the humerus during resisted extension of the humerus.
What is Latissimus Dorsi?
300
These are the actions of the Subclavius.
What are depression of the clavicle and stabilization of the sternoclavicular joint?
300
What is the indentation where the humerus meets the scapula
What is glenoid fossa
400
This muscle attaches to the thoracolumbar aponeurosis, sacrum, iliac crest of the ilium, lower ribs, inferior angle of the scapula, and the bicipital groove of the humerus.
What is Latissimus Dorsi?
400

400
This group of muscles can be palpated medially of the inferior angle of the scapula.
What are Rhomboids?
400
These are the actions of the Pectoralis Major.
What are adduction, horizontal adduction, medial rotation of the humerus, flexion of the humerus, extension of the humerus, and assists in anterior tilt of the scapula?
400
What is the small indentation in the superior surface of the scapula?

500
This muscle attaches to the anterior surface of the upper ribs and the coracoid process of the scapula.
What is Pectoralis Minor?
500
This nerve innervates the Serratus Anterior.
What is Long Thoracic nerve?
500
These 2 anterior chest muscles are too difficult to palpate.
What are Pectoralis Minor and Subclavius?
500
