chest muscle
Any muscle organ that is part of a chest [Automatically generated definition]. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.
What the chest muscle is
Any muscle organ that is part of a chest [Automatically generated definition]. The atlas records it as a muscle at the organ scale in the human body.
Where the chest muscle is
It sits in the thorax and trunk, within the muscular system. Positioned deliberately as part of this species body plan.
What the chest muscle connects to
The atlas records 9 typed relationships for it, across 3 kinds of connection. part of chest, musculature of thorax and thoracic segment of trunk.
Supply and innervation
This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the chest muscle. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.
Also called
Also recorded as anterior thoracic region muscle organ, anterolateral part of thorax muscle organ, chest muscle organ, front of thorax muscle organ, muscle of thorax and muscle organ of anterior thoracic region, and 5 more. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions
Where is the chest muscle?
It sits in the thorax and trunk, within the muscular system. Positioned deliberately as part of this species body plan.
What does the chest muscle connect to?
Part of: chest, musculature of thorax and thoracic segment of trunk.
Is the chest muscle the same in other species?
Leumas holds the same relationship vocabulary for every species it carries, so where another dataset records this structure you can put the two side by side on /compare.
