Large Animal Body Wall Flashcards
In both the horse and ox, this is the deep fascia of the trunk that consists largely of elastic tissue.
Tunica flava abdominis
The ventral border of the aponeurosis of this muscle forms the inguinal ligament.
external abdominal oblique
Designated names of the ventral branches of spinal nerves L1 - L4
L1 - cranial iliohypogastric
L2 - Caudal iliohypogastric
L3 - Ilioinguinal
L4 - Lateral cutaneous femoral
Flexor of the vertebral column
rectus abdominis

rectus sheath
rectus abdominis
Cranial, medial and caudal boundaries of the deep inguinal ring
cranial - ventral border of internal abdominal oblique m.

The origin of the internal abdominal oblique m. in the horse is solely from the __________; whereas in the cow, fibers originate from the _____________ of the ____________ and _______________ as well.
The origin of the internal abdominal oblique m. in the horse is solely from the tuber coxae; whereas in the cow, fibers originate from the transverse processes of lumbar vertebrae and thoracolumbar fascia as well.
Limits movement at the coxofemoral joint; prevents side kicking.
accessory ligament of the femoral head
Borders of the paralumbar fossa in cattle
