    The origin of the muscle is from the sternum from the level of the second costal cartilage to the xiphoid process. Its insertion is into the medial tubercle (tuberculum minus) of the humerus, and, by means of a thin tendon which crosses the origin of the biceps, to the lateral tubeicle (tuberculum majus) m. pectoralis superficialis n. medianus m. biceps brachii n. ulnaris m. triceps brachii \ i tn. tensor fascia; antibrachii m. pectoralis profundus -m. rectus abdominis Fig. 1.—Dissection of the pectoral region. also. The most caudal fibres of the muscle are connected with the cutaneous muscle of the abdomen. At the root of the neck is a triangular space of some moment on account of the structures contained therein. The lateral limit of the space is formed by the brachio-cephalic muscle. Medially the sterno-cephalic muscle forms its boundary ; while its base—caudal in position—lies at the edge of the pectoral muscles.
