Anatomy hindleg test two

Question 1

Locate the Sartorius muscle and the tensor fascia latae muscle?

Answer 1

location one

Sartorius = 1

Tensor fascia latae = 2

flexion of the hip joint

superficial gluteal = 4

Question 2

Identify the middle gluteal, its origin, insertion and function?

Answer 2

Location = number three

origin = gluteal wing of ilium and sacrum

insertion = greater trochanter of femur

Function = extension of the hip joint, it is important in propulsion.

Question 3

Identify and provide a function for the superficial gluteal muscle?

Answer 3

Location = 4

Function = extension of the hip joint and retraction of the hind limb

Question 4

Identify the biceps femoris, origin, insertion and function ?

Answer 4

Location = 5

Origin = ischiatic tuberosity of the coxal bones

Insertion = femoropetella ligament on the petaller

Function cranial portion extends the hip and stifle joints while the caudal portion flexes the stifle.

Question 5

Identify the semitendinous muscle, its origin, insertion and function ?

Answer 5

Location = 7

Origin = Ischiatic tuberosity of the coxal bone

Insertion = medial surface of the proximal part of the tibia ( tuber calcanei).

Function =

If weight bearing extension of the hip stifle and hock

If not weight bearing flexion of the knee and retraction of the limb.

Question 6

Identify the semimembranous, its origin, insertion and function ?

Answer 6

Location = 6

Origin = ischiatic tuberosity

insertion = medial condyle of femur and medial condyle of tibia

Function =

When weight bearing extension of the hip and stifle, when not weight bearing retraction of the limb.
