Proximal Hindlimb Muscles Flashcards

1
Q

why are all the muscles of the hindlimb considered intrinsic?

A

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

Q

how are the cranial/caudal cruciate ligaments named?

explain how they both run and how they attach

A

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
