Intercostals

  • Origin: Between the ribs (intercostal spaces).

  • Insertion: Adjacent to and below the rib above.

  • Action: Contraction of intercostal muscles aids in the expansion and compression of the ribcage during breathing, facilitating inhalation and exhalation.

Pectoralis Minor

  • Origin: Third, fourth, and fifth ribs near their cartilages.

  • Insertion: Coracoid process of the scapula.

  • Action: Pulls the scapula forward and downward, contributing to movements like shoulder depression and protraction (forward movement).

Sternal Head

  • Origin: Sternum (sternal part).

  • Insertion: Humerus (greater tubercle).

  • Action: Contraction of the sternal head contributes to arm flexion and medial rotation at the shoulder joint.

Abdominal Head

  • Origin: External oblique muscle's aponeurosis.

  • Insertion: Humerus (greater tubercle).

  • Action: The abdominal head of the pectoralis major assists in arm flexion and medial rotation, especially when the arm is in a position of adduction (close to the body).

Common Types of Chest Muscle Injuries

Strain:

  • Cause: Overstretching or tearing of chest muscles due to sudden or excessive force, often during lifting or athletic activities.

Muscle Tear or Rupture

  • Cause: A severe strain or trauma, like a fall or lifting a heavy object, can lead to a partial or complete tear of chest muscle fibers.

Pectoral Tendonitis

  • Cause: Overuse or repetitive motions, such as excessive weightlifting, can lead to inflammation of the tendons connecting the pectoral muscles to the bones.
