Q

*Muscles of the Thoracic Wall

can be differentiated from external intercostal muscles because their fibers run cranioventrally from the cranial border of one rib to the caudal border of the rib in front of it; draw the ribs together

Q

*Muscles of the Thoracic Wall

a tendinous central sheet; fibers attach along costal arch;

A

diaphragm

17
Q

*Muscles of the Abdominal Wall

covers the ventral half of the lateral thoracic
wall and the lateral part of the abdominal wall; fibers run caudoventrally; in the ventral abdominal wall it forms a wide aponeurosis that inserts on the linea alba

A

external abdominal oblique

18
Q

is the midventral aponeurosis of the abdominal muscles from xiphoid cartilage to prepubic tendon

A

linea alba

19
Q

a slit between the abdominal muscles from the deep to the superficial inguinal ring

A

Inguinal canal

20
Q
  1. vaginal tunic – a thin membrane beneath the abdominal muscles which is an extension of the peritoneum
  2. testes and spermatic cord – enclosed by the vaginal tunic
  3. external pudendal artery and vein
  4. genitofemoral nerve
A

Structures that enter the inguinal canal
In the male animal:

21
Q
  1. vaginal process
  2. round ligament of the uterus – enveloped by the vaginal process
  3. external pudendal artery and vein
  4. genitofemoral nerve
A

Structures that enter the inguinal canal In the female animal:

22
Q

*Muscles of the Abdominal Wall

fibers run cranioventrally; fibers from caudal border of this muscle form the cremaster muscle which accompanies the vaginal tunic

A

internal abdominal oblique

23
Q

*Muscles of the Abdominal Wall

fibers run transversely; lies medial to the internal
abdominal oblique and rectus abdominis

A

transversus abdominis

24
Q

*Muscles of the Abdominal Wall

extends from the pubis to the sternum; has distinct
transverse tendinuos intersections; right and left muscles are separated by linea alba

A

rectus abdominis

25
Q

Actions of Abdominal Muscles (2)

A

a. contract to increase abdominal pressure in defecation, urination, expiration and parturition
b. flex vertebral column

Nerve Supply: ventral branches of spinal nerves

26
Q

Epaxial Muscles 3 divisions

A
  1. iliocostalis system
  2. transversospinalis system
  3. longissimus system
27
Q

*ILIOCOSTALIS SYSTEM

arises from wing of ilium and inserts on the transverse
processes of the lumbar vertebrae and the last 4 or 5 ribs; fused with longissimus lumborum at the lumbar region.

A

iliocostalis lumborum

28
Q

*ILIOCOSTALIS SYSTEM

arises from the 12th rib to the transverse processes of C7

A

iliocostalis thoracis

29
Q
  • most medial and deep epaxial muscle mass
  • extends from the sacrum to the head; includes spinalis, semispinalis, multifudus, rotators, interspinalis, intertransversarii
A

TRANSVERSOSPINALIS SYSTEM

30
Q

*TRANSVERSOSPINALIS SYSTEM

dorsolateral surface of the neck under rhomboideus capitis and serratus dorsalis cranialis; extends from spines of first three thoracic vertebrae and inserts on nuchal crest and mastoid part of the temporal bone

A

splenius

31
Q

*TRANSVERSOSPINALIS SYSTEM

cervical portion of the transversospinalis group; lies deep to the splenius and extends from the thoracic vertebrae; consists of:

◦ biventer cervicis – from thoracic vertebra and inserts on the caudal surface of the skull; has tendinous intersection
◦ complexus – ventral to the biventer and arises from cervical vertebra and inserts on the nuchal crest

A

semispinalis capitis
