28
Q

Where is the longus colli found?

A

Cranial thoracic vertebral bodies and cervical vertebral bodies and transverse processes

29
Q

Where is the longus capitus found?

A

Lateral to the longus colli from the transverse processes of cervical vertebrae to the ventral part of the skull

30
Q

Where is the scalenus m. found?

A

Often a group of three muscles, from caudal cervical vertebrae to cranial ribs

31

36
Q

What is within the pretracheal fascia?

A

A

All muscles associated with the vertebral column

38
Q

What happens when the ventral vertebral muscles pass into the thorax?

A

Prevertebral fascia blend with the endothoracic fascia

39
Q

What is the clinical significance of the region where the ventral vertebral muscles enter the thorax?

A

Possible route of infection

40
Q

What are the two primary cutaneous muscles over the neck?

A

Cutaneous colli and Platysma

41
Q

What is different about the cutaneous colli in horses?

47
Q

How is the sternocephalicus different in the horse?

A

Inserts on the manible and also thought to have a role in jaw opening

48
Q

What are the two groups of muscles that control the position of the hyoid? (very basic)

A

Cranial and caudal group

49
Q

What cranial muscles affect the positioning of the hyoid?

A

A

Lateral to the sternohyoideus

53
Q

Where does the omohyoideus travel in horses?

A

Diverges from the sternohyoideus and goes more laterally toward the subscapular fascia
