4-Myology Flashcards
Types of muscle tissue
–Skeletal
–Smooth
–Cardiac
Skeletal muscle organization
–Muscle fiber bundles
Endomysium
Perimysium
Epimysium
• Skeletal muscle organization
-Muscle fiber arrangement
Strap/parallel
• Fusiform
Pennate or penniform
–Muscle on the side of the limb toward which a joint bends
Flexor
Muscle on the opposite side of flexor muscles
Extensor
Muscles that tend to pull a limb toward the median plane
Adductors
Those that tend to move a limb away from the median plane
Abductors
Muscle that surround an opening, whether striated or smooth
Sphincters
Found in the superficial fascia between the skin and the
deep fascia covering the skeletal muscle
Attach to the skin, responsible for the movement of the skin
Cutaneous Muscle
A synovial sac between two structures that tend to rub against
Bursa
Resembles an elongated bursa with the edges of the bursa
Surrounds a tendon over a great distance and facilitates
SYNOVIAL SHEATH
The double fold of membrane formed where the edges of the synovial sheath meet is the
MESOTENDON
a synovial sheath has three parts
Exotendon
Endotendon
Mesotendon
between tendon of infraspinatus and caudal part of greater tubercle of humerus
Infraspinatus bursa
underlies the biceps tendon
between greater and lesser tubercle of humerus
Intertubercular Bursa
bursa over the olecranon tuber –
inconstant
Subcutaneous Olecranon
bursa on the dorsal surface of
the carpus
Subcutaneous (precarpal)
extensors lies between the cannon bone and tendon of these muscles
Subtendinous bursa of common and lateral digital
between deep flexor tendon and
navicular bone
Navicular Bursa
are found only in distal part of limb.
Synovial Sheaths
Synovial Sheaths in the Forelimb of Horses
Common sheath enclosing tendons of superficial and deep flexors. Begins 10 cm above radio-carpal joint and ends at
middle of metacarpus.
Carpal Sheath
Synovial Sheaths in the Forelimb of Horses
Encloses deep and superficial flexor tendons. Begins in distal fourth of metacarpus and ends at middle of 2nd phalanx.
DIGITAL SHEATH
between the accessory gluteal and lower part of the greater trochanter
Trochanteric bursa
peculiarity in the intermediate ligament
Proximal infrapatellar bursa
