subclavius first rib clavicle depresses and moves clavicle anteriorly and helps stabilize pectoral girdle subclavian nerve
serratus anterior superior 8 or 9 ribs vertebral border and inferior angle of scapula ABDUCTS scapula and rotates it upward, elevates ribs when scapula is stable, "boxer's muscle" long thoracic nerve
pectoralis major clavicle, sternum, costal cartilages of ribs 2-6 greater tubercle and lateral lip of the intertubercular sulcus of humerus as a whole, adducts and medially rotates arm at shoulder, clavicular head also extends the flexed arm to side of trunk medial and lateral pectoral nerves
pectoralis minor ribs 2-5, 3-5, or 2-4 coracoid process of scapula ABDUCTS scapula and rotates it downward, elevates ribs during forced inhalation when scapula is fixed medial pectoral nerve
diaphragm xiphoid process of sternum, costal cartilages inferior 6 ribs, lumbar vertevrae and their discs, and rib 12 central tendon contraction causes it to flatten and increase the vertical dimension of the thoracic cavity, resulting in inhalation; relaxation causes it to move superiorly and decreas dimension, result is exhalation phrenic nerve

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
