The junction of a skeletal muscle to bone.
Attachment
What are the three types of attachments?
Tendon, Aponeurosis, Fleshy
An extension of the epimysium that consists of dense connective tissue.
Tendon
Dense fibrous connective tissue much like the tendon but organized into a thin sheet of tissue.
Aponeurosis
An apparent direct attachment of muscle to the bone.
Fleshy
The attachment at the more moveable end of the muscle.
Insertion
The body movement that a contraction pf the muscle will produce.
Action
The muscle that twitches the skin to remove flies.
Cutaneous Trunci
Covered cranially by the superficial pectoral.
Deep Pectoral
Y shaped muscle with three parts
Brachiocephalicus
partially covered by brachiocephalicus
omotransversarius
Thin triangle muscles lies over the dorsal part of the scapula
Trapezius
Triangle shaped muscle lies caudal to the scapula and covers much of the thoracic wall
Latissimus Dorsi
The name comes from the serrated appearance of the muscle on the ventral aspect of the thoracic portion, divided into two parts.
Serratus ventralis
What are the two parts of the serratus ventralis?
cervical and thoracic
Forms the jugular groove, attaches the sternum to the head, divided into two parts
Sternocephalicus
What are the two parts of the sternocephalicus?
mastoid and occipital
largest muscle on the head and is found on the lateral and dorsal aspects of the skull, between the ears
temporalis
large muscle found ventral to the zygomatic arch, lies on the lateral surface of the ramus of the mandible, cheek region, covered by the aponeurosis
masseter
divided into two parts that fuse before they insert
deltoideus
What are the two parts of the deltoideus
scapular and acromion
Fills the ______ fossa caudal to the spine of the scapula
Infraspinatus
