Musculature of the thoratic limb Flashcards
origin of M. trapezium pars cervicalis
Median fibrous raphe of the neck, as far cranially as C3
Origin of M. trapezium pars thoracica
Lig. supraspinale, as far caudally as T9
Insertion of M. trapezium pars cervicalis
The length of the scapular spine, except for a small portion ventrally
Insertion of M. trapezium pars thoracica
The dorsal third of the scapular spine
Function of M. trapezium
rotates the scapula and therefore either advances or retracts the forelimb. If both parts act together - raises the scapula against the trunk and lifts the limb
Origin of latissimus dorsi
A broad aponeurosis from the superficial thoracolumbar fascia and the lateral surfaces of the last three ribs
Insertion of M. latissimus dorsi
Tuberositas teres major and the fasci on the lateral surfase of M. triceps brachii caput longum
Function of M. latissimus dorsi
Retraction of the free limb and flexion of the shoulder. If the thoratic limbs are fixed in extension, bi-lateral contraction draws the trunk forward and flexes the back
Origin of M. rhomboideus capitis
The lateral edge of the M. rhomboideus cervicis at about the level of C4
Origin og M. rhomboideus cervicis
Median fibrous raphe of the neck (as far cranially as C2) and the spinous processes of T1-T3
Origin of M. rhomboideus thoracis
Spinous processes of T4-T7
Insertion of M. rhomboideus capitis
Crista nuchae (skull)
Insertion of M. rhomboideus cervicis
Scapulla, medially on the dorsal margin
Insertion of M. rhomboideus thoracis
Scapula, medially on the dorsal margin and a small area laterally, just cranially to the caudal angle.
Function of M. rhomboideus
Advances or retracts the limb, depending on the limb’s position when the muscle contracts, and elevation of the scapula and the limb.
When the lims are fixed: bi-lateral contection stabilizes the head and extends the neck; unilateral contraction flexes the neck laterally.
Origin of M. cleidobrachialis
Intersectio clavicularis
Insertion of M. cleidobrachialis
Crista humeri
Origin of M. cleidocephalicus
Intersectio clavicularis
Insertion of M. cleidocephalicus pars cervicalis
Crista nuchae and median fibrous raphe of the neck
Insertion of M. cleidocephalicus pars mastoidea
Mastoid process of the temporal bone
Function of M. brachiocephalicus
Unilateral contraction advances the limb.
When limbs are fixed, bilateral contraction flexes the neck and unilateral contraction flexes the neck laterally
Origin of M. omotransversarius
Ventral part of the scapular spine
Insertion of M. omotransversarius
wing of the atlas
Function of M. omotransversarius
To advance the limb. When the limbs are fixed, bilateral contraction flexes the neck, while unilateral contraction flexes the neck laterally
Who are the Mm. pectorales superficiales
M. pectoralis descendens and M. pectoralis transversus
Origin of M. pectoralis descendens
Manubrium sterni (cranial part of the sternum)
Insertion of M. pectoralis descendens
Distal portion of the crista tuberculi majoris of the humerus
Function of M. pectoralis descendens
Protraction or retraction (depending on the limb’s initial position) and adduction of the limb
Origin of M. pectoralis transversus
ventral aspect of the sternum, from the manubrium to the third costal cartilage
Insertion of M. pectoralis transversus
Distal portion of the crista tuberculi majoris of the humerus
Function of M. pectoralis transversus
Protraction or retraction (depending on the limb’s initial position) and adduction of the limb
Origin of M. pectoralis profundus majoris
The sternum, on the ventral midline
