Distal Forelimb Muscles Flashcards
where are most of the flexors located?
caudal
where are most of the extensors located?
cranial
what is the geometry of most distal limb muscles?
spindle
what is the length like of the tendons in the distal limb?
long
what do the ligaments do in the distal limb?
keep tendons in place, prevent bowstringing of the tendons when muscles contract
are there many muscle bellies in the distal limb? why or why not?
no
closely packed space reduces the amount of mass the animal has to pick up
what action does supinator do?
supinates –> brings two paws facing each other
what action do the pronators do?
pronates –> brings 2 paws facing away from each other, outwards
what is the remnant of the extensor carpi ulnaris?
ulnaris lateralis
