Thoracic Limb: Origin, Insertion, Action, Innervation Flashcards
Two superficial pectoral muscles with ORIGINS and INSERTIONS
1) Descending pectoral
ORIGIN-1st sternebrae
INSERTION-crest of greater tubercle of humerus
2)Transverse pectoral
ORIGIN-2nd/3rd sternebrae
INSERTION-crest of greater tubercle
ACTION of superficial pectoral muscles
ACTION: Adduct limb when it’s not bearing weight or prevent limb from being abducted when bearing weight.
Deep pectoral ORIGIN and INSERTION
O-Ventral part of sternum and fibrous part of raphe
I-Majority (tendinous) on lesser tubercle
Deep pectoral ACTION
Pull trunk cranially and extend shoulder joint (supporting wt). If not supporting wt, to abduct and flex shoulder jt.
Two muscles that make up the brachiocephalicus ORIGIN and INSERTION
1)Cleidobrachialis
O- clavicle
I-Distal end of cranial border of humerus
2)Cleidocephalicus
O-clavicle
I-Clavicular tendon to the neck and head
Two parts of cleidocephalicus
1-cleidocervicalis: attaches to mid-dorsal fibrous raphe and nuchal crest of occipital bone.
2-cleidomastoideus: attaches to mastoid process of temporal bone
Omotransversarius attachment
Distal end of spine of scapula and transverse wing of atlas
Omotransversarius ACTION
Advance limb or flex neck laterally
Two parts of tapezius muscle
1-Cervical: cranial to aponeurosis
2-Thoracic: caudal to aponeurosis
Trapezius ORIGIN and INSERTION
O-Median raphe of neck and supraspinous ligament from C3 to T9.
I-Spine of scapula
Three parts of the rhomboideus muscle
1-rhomboideus capitis:attaches cranial dorsal border of scapula to nuchal crest of occipital bone
2-rhomboideus cervicis: runs from median raphe of neck to dorsal border of scapula
3-rhomboideus thoracis- connects spines of T vertebrae to dorsal border of scapula.
Rhomboideus ORIGIN and INSERTION
O-Nuchal crest of occipital bone, median raphe of neck, spinous process of first 7 T vertebrae
I-dorsal border of scapula
Lastissimus dorsi ORIGIN and INSERTION
O-Spinous process of lumbar and last 7/8 TVert and muscular attachment to last 2 or 3 ribs
I-Teres major tuberosity of humerus and teres major tendon
Rhomboideus ACTION
Elevate forelimb and draw scapula against trunk
Latissimus dorsi ACTION
Flex shoulder joint- create digging action.
Serratus ventralis cervicis and serratus ventralis thoracis ORIGIN and INSERTION
O-Transverse processes of last 5 C vert and first 7/8 ribs ventral to their midlline
I-Dorsomedial third of serrated face of scapula
Trapezius action
To elevate and abduct the forelimb
