Anatomical terms of motion

Motion, the process of movement, is described using specific anatomical terms.

Axilla

The axilla (also, armpit, underarm or oxter) is the area on the human body directly under the joint where the arm connects to the shoulder.

Brachial plexus

The brachial plexus is a network of nerves formed by the anterior rami of the lower four cervical nerves and first thoracic nerve (C5, C6, C7, C8, and T1).

Clavicle

The clavicle or collarbone is a long bone that serves as a strut between the shoulder blade and the sternum or breastbone.

Clavipectoral fascia

Medially, it blends with the fascia covering the first two intercostal spaces, and is attached also to the first rib medial to the origin of the subclavius.

Coracoid process

The coracoid process (from Greek κόραξ, raven) is a small hook-like structure on the lateral edge of the superior anterior portion of the scapula (hence: coracoid, or "like a raven's beak").

Costoclavicular ligament

The costoclavicular ligament, is a ligament of the shoulder girdle.

Humerus

The humerus (plural: humeri) is a long bone in the arm or forelimb that runs from the shoulder to the elbow.

Long bone

The long bones are those that are longer than they are wide.

Pectoralis major

The pectoralis major is a thick, fan-shaped muscle, situated at the chest (anterior) of the human body.

Pectoralis 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.

Rib cage

The rib cage is an arrangement of bones in the thorax of most vertebrates.

Scapula

In anatomy, the scapula (plural scapulae or scapulas; also known as shoulder bone, shoulder blade or wing bone) is the bone that connects the humerus (upper arm bone) with the clavicle (collar bone).

New!!: Subclavius muscle and Scapula · See more »

Shoulder

The human shoulder is made up of three bones: the clavicle (collarbone), the scapula (shoulder blade), and the humerus (upper arm bone) as well as associated muscles, ligaments and tendons.

Sternum

The sternum or breastbone is a long flat bone located in the center of the chest.

Subclavian groove

On the medial part of the clavicle is a broad rough surface, the costal tuberosity (rhomboid impression), rather more than 2 cm.

Subclavian nerve

The subclavian nerve or nerve to the subclavius is a small filament, which arises from the point of junction of the fifth and sixth cervical nerves.

Thoracoacromial artery

The thoracoacromial artery (acromiothoracic artery; thoracic axis) is a short trunk that arises from the second part of the axillary artery, its origin being generally overlapped by the upper edge of the pectoralis minor.

Upper trunk

The upper trunk (or superior trunk) is a trunk of the brachial plexus which derives from the C5 and C6 roots.
