Proximal Hindlimb Muscles Flashcards
why are all the muscles of the hindlimb considered intrinsic?
there is a bony link from the axial skeleton to the girdle, compared with the forelimb, in which the extrinsic muscles didn’t have a bony link to the girdle
what 3 muscles are known as the hamstrings?
biceps femoris, semimembranosus, semitendinosus
what is the popliteal fossa?
a diamond-shaped area right behind stifle where there is no muscle
what muscles define the popliteal fossa?
semimembranosus, semitendinosus, gastrocnemius

15: caudal cruciate ligament
16: cranial cruciate ligament
how are the cranial/caudal cruciate ligaments named?
explain how they both run and how they attach
for the direction they run from femur to tibia
cranial: runs cranially from femur to tibia, attaches to tibia cranially
caudal: runs caudally from femur to tibia, attaches to tibia caudally
what gives the rounded appearance to the croup of a horse?
the fact that there are vertebral attachments of the caudal thigh muscles
do cows have a vertebral attachment of the caudal thigh muscles?
no
