Hindlimb Muscles Flashcards
what are the 4 muscles of the lateral rump?
- tensor fascia latae
- middle gluteal
- deep gluteal
- superficial gluteal
do bovines have a superficial gluteal?
nope
give the origin, insertion, innervation, and action of the tensor fascia latae
origin: tuber coxae
insertion: lateral femoral fascia (proximal tibial end through fascia in equines)
innervation: cranial gluteal nerve
action: flex the hip and extend the stifle
give the origin, insertion, innervation, and action of the middle gluteal
origin: gluteal surface and crest of the ilium (tuber coxae in equine)
insertion: greater trochanter of femur
innervation: cranial gluteal nerve
action: flex the hip, extend the stifle, (extend and abduct the hip joint in dogs)
(flex hip and abduct limb in equines)
give the origin, insertion, innervation, and action of the deep gluteal
origin: body of ilium and ischiatic spine
insertion: greater trochanter of femur
innervation: cranial gluteal nerve
action: extend the hip (abduct thigh in equine and bovine)
give common origin of middle and deep gluteal
from the gluteal surface/ischiatic spine
give the origin, insertion, innervation, and action of the superficial gluteal
origin: sacrum/dorsal iliac spine (tuber coxae in equines)
insertion: third trochanter of femur via sacrotuberous ligament and deep gluteal fascia respectively
innervation: caudal gluteal nerve
action: extend hip and abduct the limb
what are the action of the middle, deep, and superficial gluteals in dogs?
extend and abduct the hip joint
what are the 4 muscles of the caudal rump?
internal obturator, gemelli, quadratus femoris, and external obturator
give innervation, and action of the internal obturator; do cows have? how many heads in a horse?
innervation: sciatic
action: rotate limb laterally at hip;
cows do not have, but equines have two heads of this muscle
give the innervation, and action of the external obturator
innervation: obturator nerve
action: rotate limb laterally at the hip
what are the 3 muscles of the caudal thigh? plus a 4th just in bovines
- biceps femoris
- semitendinosus
- semimembranosus
cows have gluteobiceps! (superficial gluteus + biceps fused)
give the origin, insertion, innervation, and action of the biceps femoris and name the two heads
origin: ischiatic tuberosity (equine vertebral head from sacral ligament and gluteal fascia)
insertion: patella, patellar ligament and around tibial tuberosity, TUBER CALCANEI (equine cranial head part inserts onto third trochanter)
innervation: sciatic nerve
action: extend hip and stifle (may also flex stifle depending on position); has vertebral and pelvic heads and 3 insertions in equines
give the origin, insertion, innervation, and action of the gluteobiceps in cattle
origin: sacral ligaments and gluteal fascia
insertion: patellar ligament, calcaneal tendon
innervation: sciatic nerve
action: extends the hip, extend and flex the stifle, extend the hock
give the origin, insertion, innervation, and action of the semitendinosus
origin: ischiatic tuberosity
insertion: TUBER CALCANEI
innervation: sciatic nerve
action: extends the hip and hock; flexes stifle (may extend stifle in large animals)
give the origin, insertion, innervation, and action of the semimembranosus
origin: ischiatic tuberosity in canine and cattle, sacral ligaments and gluteal fascia in equines
insertion: medial epicondyle of femur and medial condyle of tibia
innervation: sciatic nerve
action: extends the hip; adduct limb of equines and bovines; extends or flexes the stifle depending on limb position of canine
what are the 2 heads of the semimembranosus in equines?
vertebral and pelvic
what are the 4 muscles of the medial thigh?
- sartorius
- gracilis
- pectinius
- adductor
