Yes. The pectoralis minor moves from the back to the front of the body while pectoralis major moves from the outside to the inside in the front plane of the body.
The Flexor and Extensor muscles controls this movements. In particular, a chicken or a fowl's Flexor and Extensor muscles are called Pectoralis major and Pectoralis minor, respectively.Hope that helped! :))
Movement>prime mover. Abduction>deltoid. Adduction>gravity. Flexion>pectoralis major(sternal part). Extension>teres major. Medial rotation>pectoralis major(sternal). Lateral rotation>infraspinatus.
pectoralis minor and subclavius muscle.
No. They are synergists to each other.
The pectoralis is really two muscles the pectoralis major and the pectoralis minor. It is responsible for flexing or twisting motion of the arm for example lifting something or throwing a ball. The pectoralis major is also key to keeping the arm connected to the trunk of the body.
These muscles are the pectoralis major and the pectoralis minor muscles.
pectoralis major and pectoralis minor
The heart is deep to the pectoralis major. The pectoralis major is superficial to the heart.

there are two muscles with pectoralis in their name, Pectoralis Major and Pectoralis Minor. Pectoralis Major is the main muscle of the chest and pectoralis minor is deep to it (so you can't feel it because pectoralis major completely covers it)
No they are not
The pectoralis major is a third class lever.
Pectoralis minor.
The heart is deep to the pectoralis major. That muscle is superficial to the heart.
