Thoracic Limb Flashcards
Deep Pectoral
(O) Ventral part of the sternum
(I) Lesser tubercle of the humerus, and through aponeurosis to greater tubercle and its crest, also medial brachial fascia.
(A) Adduct limb. Pull trunk cranially. Extend shoulder joint.
Superficial Pectoral
Descending & Transverse:
originate on the sternebrae and insert on the crest of the greater tubercle of the humerus.
(A) Adduct limb, when not bearing weight. Prevent limb from being abducted when bearing weight.
Brachiocephalicus
Cleidobrachialis & Cleidocephalicus: divided by clavicular intersection
Cleidobrachialis
(O) Clavicular intersection
(i) distal end of the cranial border of humerus
(A) Advance limb, extend shoulder joint, draw head and neck to the side
Cleidocephalicus
Pars Mastoideous, Pars Cervicalis
(O) Clavicular intersection
(I) Mastoid process, dorsal midline of the neck
(A) Advance the limb, extend the shoulder joint, draw the neck and head to the side.
Sternocephalicus
Mastoid part, Occipital part
(O) Sternum (first sternebra)
(I) Mastoid process, nuchal crest of occipital bone
(A) Draw the head and neck to the side
Sternohyoideus
(O) first sternebra and first costal cartilage
(I) basihyoid bone
(A) Pulls tongue and larynx caudal
Sternothyroideus
(O) First costal cartilage
(I) Caudolateral surface of the thyroid cartilage
(A) pulls tongue and larynx caudal
Omotransversarius
Attachment: Spine of the scapula (distal end), transverse wing of the atlas
Action: advance the limb and flex the neck laterally
Superficial Cervical Lymph Nodes
found near/under Omotransversarius
Trapezius
Cervical & Thoracic Parts
(O) Median raphe of neck and supraspinous ligament from 3C vertebra through 9T vertebra
(I) Spine of scapula
(A) Elevate/Abduct Forelimb
Rhomboideus- (3)
Capitis, Cervicalis, Thoracis
(O) Nuchal crest, median raphe neck, spinous processes of first 7T vertebrae.
(I) Dorsal border of scapula
(A) Elevate forelimb, draw scapula against trunk
Latissimus Dorsi
(O)Thoracolumbar fascia from spinous processes of the lumbar and last 7/8T vertebrae, muscular attach. to last 2/3 ribs
(I)Teres Major tuberosity of humerus and the teres major tendon
(A) Draw limb caudal. (dig) Flex shoulder joint.
Serratus Ventralis
Cervicis & Thoracis Parts
(O) Transverse process of last 5C vertebrae and first 7/8 ribs ventral to middle
(I) Serrated face of scapula
(A) Support trunk and depress the scapula
Deltoideus
(O) Spine and acromial process of scapula
(I) Deltoid tuberosity
(A) Flex shoulder
