Pectoralis Major refers to which location?

• A. Back of the Neck
• B. Abdomen
• C. Upper Arm
• D. Front of the Chest

Answer: (D)

Pectoralis major is a large muscle on the front of the chest. Its position across the upper front torso—from the sternum and clavicle toward the shoulder and attaching to the upper arm—places it squarely in the front of the chest. The other options point to different regions and muscles: the back of the neck, the abdomen, or the upper arm. Knowing where the pectoralis major sits helps you target chest-opening stretches and pushing movements accurately.
