Extrinsic Forelimb Muscles Flashcards
what are extrinsic forelimb muscles?
those that link the trunk to the scapula/humerus
what are intrinsic forelimb muscles?
those that originate in the forelimb (scapula and more distal structures)
what is the purpose of the extrinsic forelimb muscles?
sling to support pectoral girdle, move scapula
where does the omotransversarius originate and insert?
originate: cervical vertebrae
insert: spine of scapula
where does the latissimus dorsi originate and insert?
originate: lumbar vertebrae
inserts: teres major tuberosity
label the yellow circled muscles

3: omotransversarius
5: trapezius
7: latissimus dorsi
where does the braciocephalicus originate and insert?
originate: cervical vertebrae
insert: scapula
label structure A and the green circled muscles
what does 2 + 2’ make?

2: cleidocephalicus
2’: cleidobrachialis
A: clavicle
makes the brachiocephalicus
label the yellow circled muscles
what are 5 + 6 also known as? what about 7?

5: pectoralis descendens
6: pectoralis transversus
7: pectoralis profundus
5 + 6: pectoralis superficialis
7: deep pectoralis
label the yellow circled muscle

serratus ventralis
what is another name for the pectoralis profundus? (not deep pectoralis)
ascending pectoralis
how do the fiber orientations of the superficial and deep pectorals differ?
superficial: run perpendicular to spine
deep: run parallel to spine
label the red circled muscles

1: serratus ventralis
2: subclavius
