MAMMALIAN MUSCULATURE (RABBIT) Flashcards
Covers the entire lateral surface of the thorax and abdomen; more prominent anteriorly
Panniculus Carnosus or Cutaneous maximus
Covers the entire lateral surface of the thorax and abdomen, being more prominent anteriorly
Platysma
Large muscle constituting the outermost layer of the abdominal wall
External oblique
Short muscle lying beneath the more dorsal portion of the external oblique.
Internal oblique
Very thin, third muscle layer found by cutting through the internal oblique and by separating the edges
Transversus abdominis
Long,slender muscle on each side of the linea alba, extending from the pubic symphysis to the anterior part of the thorax
Rectus abdominis
A deep,narrow muscle that is most visible in the lumbar region
Multifidus
A large muscle mass on each side of the vertebral column which extends from the sacrum and pelvis to the head
Erector spinae
A group of muscle bundles lying deep to the splenius in the neck region
Semispinalis dorsi
Muscle lateral to the semispinalis
Longgisimus
Lateral to the longissimus that is the nearest to the furrow that separates the epaxial muscles from the hypaxial
Iliocostalis
Large muscle covering most of the surface of the chest
Pectoralis major
Slender muscle at the anterior end of the Pectoralis major
Pectoralis primus
Found internal to the middle of the belly of Pectoralis major
Pectoralis minor
Long muscle on each side of the Sternohyoid, two of the members of its pair converge toward the manubrium of the sternum from which they originate
Sternomastoid
Broad, thin sheet of dermal muscle extends from the manubrium of the sternum forward, which forks like a letter āVā, where each half inserts at the base of the ear
Depressor conchae posterior (Special portion of Platysma)
Slightly lateral to the Cleidomastoid at its cranial end, but crosses ventral to it caudally, so that its insertion on the clavicle is medial to that of the cleidomastoid
Basioclavicularis
Long muscle in the median line of the neck
Sternohyoid
Medial; Lies lateral and somewhat dorsal to the sternomastoid
Cleidomastoid
Continuation of the two preceding muscles
Clavodeltoid
A great mass of muscles that covers the angle of the jaws, where the outer surface has a very tough, shining fascia
Masseter
Located along the ventral surface of each half of the jaw bone, which terminates through a slender tendon
Digastric
Thin sheet of muscle crossing transversely between and to which is also dorsal to the two digastrics
Mylohyoid
Thin muscle that lies deeply and is slightly lateral to the sternohyoid
Sternothyroid
Long slender muscles running along the ventral border of the anterior trapezius near to insertion
Anterior trapezius
(Acromiotrapezius)
Thin muscle at each side of the larynx which extends from the thyroid cartilage up to the hyoid.
Thyrohyoid
Large, flat muscle extending obliquely from the middle of the back to the forelimb
Latissimus dorsi
Large, thick muscles extending from the vertebral border of the scapula to the middorsal line
Posterior trapezius upward and forward
(Spinotrapezius)
Long, slender muscle running along the ventral border of the anterior trapezius near its insertion, then diverges to its origin
Levator scapulae ventralis
(Levator scapulae major)
Large, thick muscle extending from the vertebral border of the scapula to the middorsal line
Rhomboideus
Fairly broad but thin muscle on the back of the anterior part of the neck under the anterior trapezius
Splenius
Small, triangular muscle lateral to the clavodeltoid
Supraspinatus
Stout muscle along the axillary border of the scapula; Muscle partly covered by the third deltoid, which is attached to its surface
Infraspinatus
