What action is caused by the lateral compartment?
extension and stabilizing at GH
What action is caused by the medial compartment?
Adduction and extension at GH joint
What action is caused by the caudal compartment?

What artery supplies the extensor compartment?
Deep brachial a.
What action is caused by the flexor compartment?
Flexion (arm and forearm)
Supination (forearm)
What action is caused by the extensor compartment?
Extension (arm and forearm)
What is the primary job of the lateral, caudal and medial muscles?
move the GH joint
What is the primary job of the flexor and extensor muscles?
move the elbow joint
What is different about a horses forearm?
ulna and radius is fused
What are three structural landmarks that are different on the horse?
Interosseous space, distal end of ulna incorporated w/i radius, and radial tuberosity
