Equine Musculoskeletal 2 Flashcards
What muscles make up thoracic sling?
serratus ventralis, trapezius, rhomboideus, pectoralis
What is the most important muscle in the thoracic sling?
serratus ventralis
Whart structure attaches to spinous processes of the vertebrae and serratus ventralis?
dorsal scapular ligament
What muscle is in the equine proximal thoracic limb that was not seen in the dog?
subclavius
Where does subclavius m. run?
cranial to supraspinatus
Where does subclavius attach?
fascia of supraspinatus and sternum
What does rupture of serratus ventralis cause?
falling of entire trunk, scapular cartilage becomes visible at the withers
Supraspinatus OIA
O: supraspinous fossa
I: greater and lesser tubercles of the humerus
A: extend and stabilize humeral joint
Infraspinatus OIA
O: infraspinous fossa
I: superficial tendon- greater tubercle of humerus (infraspinous bursa)
-deep tendon- on caudal eminence of greater tubercle
A: stabilize humeral joint
Deltoideus OIA
O: caudal border of scapula, aponeurosis which covers infraspinatus
I: deltoid tuberosity
A: flex humeral joint
Subscapularis OIA
O: subscapular fossa
I: lesser tubercle of humerus
A: stabilize humeral joint
Teres major OIA
O: caudal angle of scapula and adj. caudal border of scapula
I: teres major tuberosity of humerus
A: flex humeral joint
Biceps brachii OIA
O: supraglenoid tubercle
I: radial tuberosuty of radius, extensor carpi radialis via lacertus fibrosus
A: flex cubital joint, extend humeral joint
What is located between the tendon of the origin of biceps brachii and the intertubercular grooves of the humerus?
intertubercular bursa
What is the tendinous insertion of biceps brachii on the extensor carpi radialis m.?
lacertus fibrous
Lacertus fibrosus is part of the ______________
stay apparatus
What connects the tendon of the biceps brachii to the extensor carpi radialis?
lacertus fibrosus
Triceps brachii OIA
O: long head-caudal border of scapula
lateral head-deltoid tuberosity
medial head-medial aspect of the humerus
I: olecranon tuber
A: extend cubital joint, long head- flex humeral joint
