Introduction Axillary artery begins as a continuation of 3rd part of subclavian artery at the outer border of the first rib. It extends at the lower border of teres major muscle where it continues as the brachial artery. The pectoralis minor muscle divides the axillary artery into three parts. It usually gives off 6 branches. The 1st part which is medial to pectoralis minor muscle gives superio...

Myosins from the following sources were purified by diethylaminoethyl-Sephadex chromatography: moytubes grown in vitro for 7-8 days, prepared from pectoralis muscles of 10-day old embryos, and breast and leg muscles from 16-day old embryos. The adenosine triphosphatase activities of these myosins were close to that of adult m. pectoralis myosin. The light chains of the embryonic myosins had the...

Monoclonal antibodies (McAbs) against the myosin heavy chain (MHC) of adult chicken pectoralis muscle have been tested for reactivity with pectoralis myosin at selected stages of chick development in vivo and in vitro. Three such McAbs, MF 20 and MF 14, which bind to light meromyosin, and MF 30, which binds to myosin subfragment two (S2), were used to assay the appearance and accumulation of sp...

TECHNIQUE A skin reducing mastectomy is performed via Wise pattern incisions, retaining an extensive inferior dermal sling of de-epithelialised tissue. A sizer is used to ensure the skin envelope meets the inframammary fold before an anatomical implant is placed on the pectoralis major. Complete coverage is achieved with the inferior dermal sling, which is sutured to the pectoralis superiorly. ...

Arge yildirimi sp. n. is described from Turkey, Diyarbakir Province and compared to pectoralis (Leach, 1817) frivaldszkyi (Tischbein, 1852).

Medial scapular winging is often due to dysfunction of the serratus anterior muscle as a result of injury to the long thoracic nerve. Impairment of the serratus anterior muscle may cause uncoordinated scapulohumeral rhythm during shoulder elevation and subsequent subscapular or shoulder pain, subacromial impingement, and glenohumeral joint instability. Although long thoracic nerve injury typica...
