CHEST ANATOMY
Chest muscles can be divided into 3 separate parts
Ø The Pectoral Major
Ø The Pectoral Minor
Ø The Anterior Serratus
THE PECTORAL MAJOR
The Pectoralis major is a thick, fan-shaped muscle, situated at the chest
(anterior) of the human body. It contributes maximum part of whole chest .Workout
Targeting the Pectoral Major develops a amazing toned up chest muscles .
Pectoralis major muscle tears are an uncommon sporting injury, most
commonly seen in Power lifters, wrestlers, rugby and American football players.
The injury is characterized by pain in the chest wall and loss of strength of
the muscle.
AREA : The attachment of the cartilage of the sixth or
seventh rib
THE PECTORAL MINOR
The Pectoralis minor is a thin, triangular muscle, situated at the upper
part of the chest, beneath the Pectoralis major in the human body.It doesn’t
contribute much part of the chest but for complete and good shape of chest, its
training must not be neglected. You can exercise it without much additional
effort because nearly every workout that engages the Pectoralis major also
works the Pectoralis minor.
AREA: It arises from the upper margins and outer surfaces of the third, fourth,
and fifth ribs.
THE ANTERIOR SERRATUS
The Anterior
Serratus inserts along the entire anterior length of the medial border of the
scapula(shoulder blades).It basically aids in the upward movement of our. The Anterior
Serratus is occasionally called the "big swing muscle" or
"boxer's muscle" because it is
largely responsible for the protraction of the scapula — that is, the pulling
of the scapula forward and around the rib cage that occurs when someone throws
a punch.
AREA: It
originates by nine or ten slips from either the first to ninth ribs or the
first to eighth ribs.
