👉 The term "pectorales" is a Latin word that can be translated as "arms," referring to the structures and muscles found in the body of humans, specifically in the chest area. These are the main skeletal components of the arm bone. In relation to anatomy, the pectoral muscles are the two largest muscle groups in the human body, responsible for lifting, flexing, and extending the arm bones. They are also involved in various activities such as swimming, running, and walking.
