The
Pectoralis Major
muscles (also known as the Pecs)
are located on the front of the rib cage. The
Pecs attach
to the humerus near the shoulder joint and originate
on the breastbone in the center of the chest. The
fibers of the Pectoralis
muscles run like a fan across the chest. The fan-like
structure of the Pecs
allows the humerus to move in a variety of planes
across the body. The
Pectoralis Minor
muscle (not shown in the diagram) is located underneath
the pectoralis major muscle, attaching to the coracoid
process of the scapula and originating on the middle
ribs. The
function of the Pectoralis
Major is to bring the humerus across
the chest. A flye movement is the best example of
this action. The
Pectoralis Minor
serves
to move the shoulder area forward. This can be seen
by shrugging your shoulder forward. Exercises
that work the Pectoralis
muscles include: Here
