MMuscular System Flashcards
The muscle used for injections that runs on the crainal aspect for the thigh is the
quadriceps femoris
Ligaments connect
Bone to bone

gluteal
Which muscle group supports the spine and extends the vertebral column of a feline
epaxials
The semimembranosus-semitendinosus muscle are the __ group of the femorotibial joint
Flexor
A(n) __ muscle group is that would outstretch a joint, increasing the angle of the joint
Extensor
Which muscle extend the hip, flexes the stifle, and extends the hock of a canine’s hind limb?
Semitendinosus
A(n) __ injection is a form of medication administration by which drugs are placed deep within muscle tissue
Intramuscular
Elbow __ is facilitated by contraction of the triceps muscles
Extension
The __ junction would be described as the junction formed by the end of the osseous rib and the cartilage of the rib that attaches the rib to the sternum
costochondral
A(n) __ muscle group causes a joint to bend, reducing the angle of the joint
flexor
Which type of tissue is responsible for generating body heat?
muscle
Which muscles are commonly used for intramuscular injections in dogs and cats?
Epaxial, quadriceps, triceps
Inflammation of muscle tissue is medically termed
myositis
The act of drawing a limb toward the body is called
adduction
An injection has been administered to a pet in the muscle that lies dorsal to the transverse processes of the vertebrae. which muscle was injected
epaxial muscle
The tough, cordlike connective tissue bands that connect muscle to bones are called__.
tendons
Functionally, the medial thigh muscles are the __ of the rear limb
Adductors
The muscle that flatten and increases the volume of the lungs is the
diaphragm
The __ muscles are found upon the axis
epaxial
What muscle adducts the shoulder join to pull the forelimb toward the midline of the body?
pectorals
A(n) __ is a tough, flexiable bundle connective tissue that firmly holds two bones together
Ligament
__ is the act of drawing a limb away from the body
Abduction
