Pectoralis Minor: Origin, Insertion, Nerve Supply & Action

Pectoralis Minor: The pectoralis minor muscle is a thin, triangular muscle, situated at the upper part of the chest and beneath the pectoralis major in the human body. The Pectoralis Minor is the smallest muscle of the two pectoral (chest) muscles. It works together with Serratus anterior muscle which protracts and rotates the scapula upwards.

When the two muscle works together, pure protraction (without rotation) is produced.
