Quiz 1 Handout Flashcards
muscle covers the lateral side of the trunk, functioning to twitch the skin
cutaneous trunci
Muscle that have an attachment to the body
extrinsic mm.
Muscles with both attachments on the thoracic limb
Intrinsic mm.
Muscles that stabilize the shoulder e.g. supraspinatus, infraspinatus
Shoulder mm
Grouped into flexors and extensors of the elbow
arm muscles: Brachium
Innervated by the radial n. they cross the extensor side of the elbow to insert on the olecranon
Extensors of the elbow
Cross the flexor side of the elbow
flexors of the elbow
divided into flexors and extensors of the carpus and digits
Forearm (ante brachial) muscles
located craniolaterally, they are innervated by the radial nerve
Extensors of the digits and carpus
Muscles located caudally
Flexors of the carpus and digits
insignificant m, except the interosseous m (suspensory ligament in horses)
Muscles of the manus and pes
Functioning in respiration, they are divided into inspiratory and expiratory muscles
Thoracic muscles
Arise cranial to the thorax and move the ribs cranially and laterally thus increasing the volume of the thorax , resulting in the air rushing into the thorax sue to decreased pressure
inspiratory mm
the major inspiratory muscle it retracts caudally to increase the size of the thorax, thus resulting in inspiration
Diaphragm
arise caudal to the thorax and move the ribs caudally and medially, decreasing the volume and increasing the pressure, forcing air out
expiratory muscles
three lateral muscles and the rectus abdominis on the ventral abdomen
abdominal wall muscle
flat tendons of the lateral abdominal muscles that form a sheath around the rectus abdomens
aponeuroses
the straight abdominal muscle on either side of the midline, running longitudinally
rectus adbominis
aponeuroses of the abdominal mm covering the rectus abdominis
external rectus sheath
the muscles located above the transverse processes of the vertebrae
Epaxial mm
muscles located below the transverse process of the vertebrae
hypaxal mm
hypaxial m. located ventral to the bodies of the cervical vertebrae
Longus Coli m.
