What is chest muscle called like muscle for arms is called biceps and triceps belly is called abdominal?

Answer 1

Pectoral muscle

Answer 2

The short answer is 'pectoralis' (pec's, for common slang)...

The more detailed answer is that there is more than just 1 general muscle per region of the body (arms, leg, trunk, etc.) Rather, each region has several different muscles, some more superificial than others, and each with its own distinct function. In the abdomen alone, for example, you have several obliques and the rectus abdominus... For a nice summary of the major skeletal muscles of the human body, please see the following site:
