Functional Groups for muscles of thoracic body wall
Epaxial, Extrinsic Forelimb Muscles, muscles of ventilation
Epaxial muscles
Dorsal to transverse process of vertebrae, function to extend vertebral column and help support weight three columns of epaxial muscles lateral iliocostalis system, the intermediate longissimus system, and the medial transversospinalis system
Extrinsic forelimb muscles
Extend from one attachment along the axial skeleton to another attachment on the bone of the forelimb generally the scapula or humorous. Move limb relative to body or body relative to limb. Ex. Latissimus dorsi, superficial pec, deep pec, serratus ventral is.

Superfical pectoral muscle
Lie on cranial part of sternum and humorous under skin Descending pectoral- smaller, superfical to transverse pectoral Transverse pectoral- arises from first 2 or 3 sternebrea inserts on crest of greater tubercle of humorous, related on deep surface to deep pectoral muscle Origin- first 2 sternebrea, usually part of the third; the fiber opus rap he between adjacent muscles Insertion- whole crest greater tubercle of humorous Action- adduct limb when not weight bearing, prevent adduct on of limb when weight bearing Innervation- Ventral branch of spinal nerves c7 and c8 Direction- medial- lateral
Deep pectoral muscle
Extrinsic limb muscle Originates from the sternum Inserts into lesser tubercle of humorous and on greater tubercle of humorous via aponeurosis Innervation- Caudal pectoral nerves C8 T1 Direction- Caudoventral
Serratus Ventralis
Fan Shapped, acts as sling to depress scapula and support trunk. Originates from transverse process of cervical vertebrea and from lateral aspects of ventral half of first 7-8 ribs. Attaches to dorsomedial one-third of scapula Innervation- Ventral branches of cervical spinal nerves and long thoracic nerve (C7) Direction- caudodorsal
Muscles of ventilation thorax
Scalenus, internal and external intercostal muscles, rectus abdominus, external abdominal oblique
Trapezius
Extrinsic limb muscle Thoracic and cervicle parts Runs from supraspinous ligament and median raphe of neck to spine of scapula Thoracic part is superfical to dorsal portion of lat dorsi Innervation by accessory spinal nerve (Cranial nerve XI)
External abdominal oblique
Originates from last 6 or 7 ribs Terminates at lineal alba and pubic tendon Function: Maintain integrity of abdominal wall and as muscle of expiration Direction- Caudoventrally Medial crus attaches to lineal alba, smaller lateral crus attaches to pelvic brim; Attach by 2 aponeurotic crura the space between the 2 crura forms superfical inguinal ring (Exit of inguinal canal)
Superfical inguinal ring
Aponeurotic crura of external abdominal obliques form this Medial crus attaches to lineal alba Smaller lateral crus attaches to pelvic brim These two crura form exit of inguinal canal ie superfical inguinal ring Vaginal process (outpocketing of peritoneum) leaves abdomen through inguinal canal in female
Internal abdominal oblique
Arises with external abdominal oblique from thoracolubar facia caudal to last rib Attach to lineal alba via aponeurosis, this aponeurosis will join that of external abdominal oblique to for external laminate of rectus sheath Direction: Cranioventral
Rectus Sheath
External lamina Formed by the aponeurosis attaching internal abdominal oblique to linea alba and aponeurosis of external abdominal oblique
Linea Alba
FIberous cord formed by the midline fusion of the aponeurosis of muscles of abdominal wall. Runs from xiphoid cartilage to carnival end of pelvic symphysis Surgical land mark for ventral midline entry into peritoneal canal
Abdominal body wall innervation
Innervation by caudal intercostal nerves and ventral branches of lumbar spinal nerves.
Blood Supply of abdominal wall
Cranial epicanthic artery Cranial abdominal artery, Caudal epigastric artery, deep circumflex iliac artery
Cranial Epigastric artery
From internal thoracic artery, branch of subclavian artery
Cranial abdominal artery
From common cranial abdominal/ Caudal phrenic trunk, A branch from the aorta
Deep circumflex iliac artery
From the aorta
Rhomboideus
Extrinsic limb muscles, 3 parts names according to osseous attachments Rhomboideus thorasicus- attaches to spinous process of first 7 thoracic vertebrea Rhomboideus cervicus- attaches to median raphe of the neck Rhomboideus capitals- attaches to nucal crest of occipital bone All three parts insert along dorsal border of scapula
Serratus dorsalis
Has cranial and Caudal parts Serratus dorsalis cranialis Muscle of inspiration that arises by aponeurosis from thoracolumbar fascia Insert on craniolateral surfaces of ribs Direction- Caudoventral Serratus dorsalis Caudal is Originates from aponeurosis of thoracolumbar fascia Fibers run in cranioventral direction Insert on caudal boarder of last three ribs Function- Draws last 3 ribs caudally during expiration
Rectus abdominis
Has distinct tendinous intersection that runs transversely. Attaches by aponeurosis to first few ribs and to sternum Attaches caudally to pelvic brim to form pubic tendon In abdominal region covered superficially by external laminitis of rectus sheath (which is formed by aponeuroses of external and internal abdominal obliques) Covered on deep surface by aponeuroses of transvese abdominus Direction- Cranial Caudal
Transverse abdominus
Attaches to medial surface of last few ribs and transverse process of lumbar vertebrea Fibers run transversely to attach by aponeuroses to linea alba Aponeurosis of transverse abdominus forms internal lamina of rectus sheath in abdominal region. In pubic region aponeurosis becomes superficial to the rectus
Three main surgical approaches to peritoneal cavity
Ventrally through linea alba, laterally through flank incision, over inguinal rings
Surgical approach via linea alba
Cuts no muscle fibers only aponeurosis, easier to put back together b/c strength of connective tissue vs frailty of muscle fibers
Flank incision
usually for large animals Ideally through grid incisions Caudoventral through external abdominal oblique Cranioventral through internal abdominal oblique Transversely through transversus abdominous
Incision over inguinal ring
Done to find cryptorchid testicle
Epaxial muscles
In cervical, thoracic, and lumbar regions these lie between transverse and spinous process of adjacent vertebrea. Function- important in motion and weight bearing Most lateral (and ventral) system is iliocostalis, intermediate is longissimus, most medial and dorsal is transversospinalis
Splenius

Longissimus thoracis et lumborum
Superfical epaxial muscle. Originates in ilium Iliocostalis and longissimus are fused in lumbar region Craniocaudal direction Muscles are covered by thick thoracolumbar fascia
Visceral (pulmonary) Pleura
Serous membrane that intimately covers the surface of each lung in the mediastinum
Parietal pleura
Serous membrane that lines the internal surface of the thoracic cavity Includes Costal parietal pleura, diaphragmatic parietal pleura, and mediastinal parietal pleura
Costal parietal pleura
Lines the thoracic wall along the ribs
Diaphragmatic parietal pleura

Phrenic nerve
Runs from the thoracic inlet to the diaphragm, which it innervates (runs from c5,c6,c7). Runs ventral to the hills of the lung Primarily made of somatic efferent axons arising from cervical spinal chord segments providing voluntary motor innervation to the diaphragm NOT PART OF THE AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM
Plica venae cava
Serous membrane fold of the medistinal pleura surrounding the caudal vena cava
Pulmonary ligament
Double fold of connecting pleura that holds the caudal left lung lobe in place, making it harder to move than its cranial counter part. Runs between the caudal lobe of the lung and the mediastinum at the level of the esophagus
