Question:

What is unique about the pectoralis major's insertion on the humerus?

Author: Alexandra Jessie Wilson



Answer:

The pectoralis inserts "twisted" on the humerus, and it "untwists" with raising of the arm. When in use it helps with the rotation and adduction of the humerous, and keeps the humerous attatched to the body.
