Lecture 9: head and neck myology Flashcards
What are facial muscles important for
Mimic musculature/ facial expressions
List the muscles of the nose
➢ Apical dilatator of nostri.
➢ Lateral muscle of the nose.
➢ Medial dilatator of the nostri
why are the muscles of the nose very important
b/c horses are obligate nose breathers
List the extraorbital muscles
➢ Orbicular muscle of the eye.
➢ Levator of the medial angle of the eye.
➢ Malar (larger in ruminants)
List the external muscles of the ear (that we need to know)
➢ Parotidoauricularis
➢ Scutularis
➢ Caudal, dorsal, rostral and Deep.
be able to identify 1,3,4,5,6,9
Why is the buccinator muscle important for horses
horses “suck” water and this muscle creates a negative pressure
what muscle lets the horse flip its front lip up
- Levator of the superior lip (palpate)
can you palpate the depressor of the lower lip
yes
label the superficial muscles
what muscle does this action
Levator of the superior
lip with conjoined tendon
what muscle does this action
Dilatator muscles of the nostril
list the Masticatory muscles of a horse
list the masticatory muscles that close the mouth
temporal
lateral pterygoid
medial pterygoid
list the masticatory muscles that open the mouth
digastricus ONLY
identify the parts of the mastication muscle
- deep part of masseter m
- superficial part of masseter m
identify Muscles of Mastication
what is significant about digastricus in a horse compared to a dog
3 bellies; Rostral-Caudal-Occipitomandibularis
name the Pterygoideus muscles
Pterygoideus (Medial – Lateral)
