Q

Explain the actions of the abdominal muscles.

A

contraction = doming of diaphragm
fixed diaphragm + contraction = increased abdominal pressure
posture & movement

16
Q

Describe the linea alba

A

midline between rectus abdominus muscle bellies
origin = xyphoid
insertion = prepubic tendon

17
Q

What is an inguinal ring?

A
superficial = natural opening in aponeurosis of EAO
deep = intersection of free caudal edge of IAO, lateral border of RA, transversals fascia between TA &peritoneum
18
Q

What is the purpose of the inguinal rings?

A

to allow structures to enter/leave abdominal cavity

19
Q

What is the inguinal canal?

A

the space between the deep & superficial inguinal rings

20
Q

What is a vaginal tunic/process?

A

blind-end pouch of peritoneum
tunic - male
process - female
goes through inguinal rings

21
Q

Describe the vaginal tunic.

A

substantial
surrounding testes & spermatic cord structures
goes through inguinal rings

22
Q

Describe the cremaster muscle.

A

alongside vaginal tunic
from caudal border of IAO
pulls testes close to body wall
goes through inguinal rings

23
Q

Describe the vaginal process.

A

surrounds round ligament of uterus

goes through inguinal rings

24
Q

Draw & label a schematic of the inguinal canal of a male dog.

25
List the muscles of inspiration.
``` scalenus serrates dorsalis cranialis rectus thoracic external intercostal muscles internal intercostal muscles ```
26
List the muscles of expiration
serrates dorsalis caudalis | internal intercostal muscles
27
Describe the epaxial muscles.
paired dorsal to transverse processes of vertebrae 3 systems of muscles on each side
28
What is the function of epaxial muscles?
locomotion bilateral contraction = extends vertebral column unilateral contraction = bends body to one side
29
Describe the transversospinalis system.
muscle groups with lots | ligamentous has nuchal ligament & supraspinous ligament
30
Describe the longissimus system.
muscle group from head to ilium
31
Describe the illiocostalis system.
muscle group from caudal neck to ilium
32
Draw & label a schematic of the epaxial muscles.
*add photo*
33
Describe the hypaxial muscle groups.
ventral to transverse processes cervical (flexors of head & neck) thoracic sub lumbar (flexors of lumbar vertebrae)
