Anatomy Lecture 2 Flashcards
What are the extrinsic muscles (Synsarcosis) of the Thoracic limb? (8)
Deep pectoral m., Superficial pectoral m., Brachiocephalicus m., Serratus ventralis m., Trapezius m., Rhomboideus m., Omotransversarius m. Latissimus dorsi m.
What are the two phases of Gait Analysis/Locomotion?
- Stance Phase
- Swing Phase
What is the stance phase?
the time the foot contacts the ground
- braking
- propulsion
- weight-bearing
What is the swing phase?
time the limb is propelled through the air
What are the muscles that stabilize the limb to the body wall during the stance phase? (5)
- Serratus ventralis m.
- Superficial and deep pectoral m.
- Trapezius m.
- Rhomboideus m.
What are the muscles that stabilize the shoulder during the stance phase? (8)
Supraspinatus m., Infraspinatus m., Subscapularis m., Teres major m., Teres minor m., Coracobrachialis m., Biceps brachii m., Triceps brachii m. (long head)
What are the muscles that extend the elbow during the stance phase? (3)
- Tensor fasciae antebrachii m.
- Triceps brachi m. (all heads)
- Anconeus m.
What are the muscles that flex the carpus and digits during the stance phase? (5)
- Ulnaris lateralis m.
- Flexor carpi ulnaris m.
- Flexor carpi radialis m.
- Superficial digital flexor m.
- Deep digital flexor m.
What happens during phase 1 of the swing phase?
the limb is advanced; shoulder and carpus are extended; elbow angle varies but extended in full stretch
What happens during phase 2 of the swing phase?
Limb is pulled caudally; shoulder and carpus are flexed; elbow angle varies, but flexed during full gallop
What are the muscles involved in phase 1 of the swing phase? (10)
Brachiocephalicus m., Serratus ventralis m., Trapezius m., Rhomboideus m., Omotransversarius m. Triceps brachii m., Biceps brachii m., Extensor carpi radialis m., Common digital extensor m., Lateral digital extensor m.
What are the muscles involved in phase 2 of the swing phase?(10)
Deep pectoral m., Latissimus dorsi m., Deltoideus m., Teres major m., Triceps brachii m., Biceps brachii m., Flexor carpi radialis m., Ulnaris lateralis m., Superficial digital flexor m., Deep digital flexor m.
How much weight of the animal is transferred to the thoracic limb during the stance phase? (%)
60%
What muscles transfer the weight of the head, neck, and cranial aspect of the trunk to the thoracic limb?
the serratus ventralis and pectoral mm.
What is the “sling muscle?”
The serratus ventralis
What is a first class lever?
(EFR) The fulcrum is between the effort and resistance “seesaw”
v————–v
^
What is a second class lever?
(FRE) The fulcrum is on one end, the effort at the opposite end, and the resistance between them
—-v—-^
What is a third class lever?
(FER) the fulcrum is on one end, the resistance at the opposite end, and the effort between them

If the foot is planted on the ground, what does it mean for the force required to flex the shoulder joint? Why?
a great deal of force will be needed to flex the shoulder joint because the limb would need to be lifted from the ground
A muscle attachment further from a joint will produce what? What does this mean?
A more powerful movement, therefore strength of movement increases with distance from the joint
What does a more proximal attachment to the joint do and what would its main function be?
a more proximal attachment increases the range of movement and would therefore function more as a joint stabilizer
Which muscles stabilize the shoulder joint while the foot is planted and have proximal attachments on the humerus? (6)
Supraspinatus m., Infraspinatus m., Subscapularis m., Coracobrachialis m., Teres Major m., Teres Minor m.
