What is a clavicle muscle?
Relevant Anatomy The clavicle is an S-shaped bone that is anchored by strong ligamentous attachments on both its medial and lateral ends. Muscular attachments to the clavicle include the sternocleidomastoid, pectoralis major, and subclavius muscles proximally and the deltoid and trapezius muscles distally.
What muscle is under the clavicle?
Subclavius muscle
The Subclavius muscle is a small, triangular muscle that is located between the first rib and the clavicle. Along with the pectoralis minor and the pectoralis major, the subclavius helps to make up the anterior wall in the axilla.
What muscles elevate the clavicle?
The clavicle transmits the supporting forces of the trapezius muscle to the scapula via the intact coracoclavicular ligaments. During elevation of the arm, trapezius action is responsible for raising the clavicle by approximately 30° about the sternoclavicular axis.
