The pec major is attached to the front of the body on the rib cage. pectoralis major is a thick, fan-shaped muscle. The pec major also makes the bulk of the chest muscles. The primary movement of the pec major is to aid exercises such as flyes, and thats moving the humerus across the chest. pectoralis minor is found underneath the pectoralis major. It originates on the ribs and attaches up to the scapula... but i'll stop i there i don't wanna get to deep yet. The pec minor moves helps move the shoulder forward, like shrugs.
