name the 7 muscles involved with SUPPORT of the forelimb
- serratus ventralis
- rhomboideus
- superficial pectoral
- deep pectoral
- trapezius
- brachiocephalicus
- latismus dorsi
serratus ventralis
- origin; cervical vertebrae and ribs
- insertion; facies serrata of scapula
- like a big fan
rhomboideus
- 3 parts; from most dorsal to most ventral: capital, cervical, thoracic
- origin: median raphe of neck (for capital and cervical) and spinous process of thoracic vertebrae (for thoracic)
- insertion; dorsal scapula
superficial pectoral
- origin; first 3 sternebrae
- insertion; greater tubercle of humerus
deep pectoral
- origin; sternum
- insertion; lesser tubercle of humerus and medial brachial fascia (recall brachium= upper forelimb)
brachium
upper forelimb
antibrachium
lower forelimb
trapezius
- 2 parts; cervical and thoracic
- origin; median raphe of neck (cervical) and supra-spinous ligament (thoracic)
- insertion; spine of scapula
- nerve; accessory (CN XI)
brachiocephalicus
- 3 parts; cleidobrachialis, cleidocervicalis, cleidomastoideus
- origin; clavicular tendon
- insertion:
- CB; cranial humerus
- CM; mastoid process of skull
- CC: median raphe of neck
- nerves : accessory (CN XI) for CC and CM only
latissimus dorsi
- origin; thoracic and lumbar vertebral fascia
- insertion; proximal humerus
name the 4 protractors (move the forelimb foreward)
- brachiocephalicus
- rhomboideus (only cervical and capital parts, NOT thoracic part)
- superficial pectoral
- trapezius (only cervical part, NOT thoracic part)
name the adductor of the forelimb (moving leg toward midline)
superficial pectoral
name the two (ish) abductors (moving leg away from midline)
- deltoideus
- +/- trapezius
deltoideus
- 2 parts; acromial and spinous (spinous part more dorsal)
- origin; spine of scapula and acromion
- insertion; deltoid tuberosity on the humerus
