Thoracic Musculature

Cards in this deck (48)
- 1List the 5 factors which limit the size of the thoraxForelimb musculature
Height of spinous (dorsal) processes of thoracic vertebrae
Musculature associated w/these processes
Pectoral muscles
Cranial bulge of diaphragm - 2What are the muscles associated with the spinous pocesses called?Epaxial
- 3What type of connective tissue makes up the dermis?Irregular dense connective
- 4What type of connective tissue makes up the deep fascia?Irregular dense connective
- 5What is the panniculus reflex?The "twitch" of the skin reflex seen when flies land on horses/cows
- 6Which muscle is involved with the panniculus reflex?Cutaneous trunci
- 7Which structure is the cutaneous tunic closely adhered to? Which types of animal is this most likely to be seen in during dissection?Skin. Most visible in muscular species
- 8In which direction do the fibres of the cutanous trunci muscle run?Cranial to caudal
- 9Name muscles A-EA: Brachiocephalicus
B: Omotransversarius
C: Trapezius
D: Latissimus dorsi
E: Pectoralis
- 10What movement does contraction of the latissimus dorsi muscle cause?Retraction of the forelimb (movement away from head)
- 11What movement does contraction of the omotransversarius muscle cause?Protraction of the limb (movement towards head)
- 12Where does the omotransversarius muscle originate?Transverse processes of cervical vertebrae
- 13What movement does contraction of both brachiocephalicus muscle cause?Movement of the head down (a nod)
- 14What movement does contraction of one brachiocephalicus muscle cause?Movement of the head in that direction
- 15What movement does contraction of the pectoralis muscle cause?Adduction of forelimb
- 16What is the serratus dorsalis cranialis involved in?Inspiration
- 17Which muscles make up the girdle muscles?Serratus ventralis and pectoralis muscles
- 18List the respiratory musclesSerratus dorsalis
Scalenus
Extrinsic abdominal obliques
External abdominal oblique aponeuroses - 19What is distinctive about the scalenus muscle?The brachial plexus is attached here
- 20Where do the external and internal intercostals lie relative to one another?Intrinsic are deeper into the ribs (ie. medial) and external on surface
- 21What is the direction of muscle fibres in external intercostals?Cranio-caudal
- 22What is the direction of muscle fibres in internal intercostals?Caudo-cranial
- 23What structures does the dorsal ramus supply w/nerves?Skin and epaxials
- 24What structures does the ventral ramus supply w/nerves?Internal intercostals, ventral skin
- 25Are the nerves and blood vessels of the ribs located on the cranial or caudal side of the ribs?Caudal
- 26What is the order of the arteries, nerves and veins on each rib going cranially to caudal?Veins, arteries, nerves
- 27Why are they called segmental/intercostal nerves?Because they come from each vertebra
- 28Where are the crura of the diaphragm on this image?


- 29Which of the crura of the diaphragm is larger?Right
- 30Which 3 structures are the periphery of the diaphragm attached to?Lumbar vertebrae
Caudal ribs
Sternum - 31What happens to the external abdominal obliques and EAO aponeuroses in animals w/COPD?Overuse the EAOs in an attempt to force air out and create a recoil for air to move back in and end up w/"heave" line from over use of this muscle
- 32What are extrinsic forelimb muscles?Those which originate outside the forelimb and extend onto it
- 33What are respiratory muscles?Any which have an impact on the size of the thorax
- 34—1) Rhomboideus
2) Serratus dorsalis
3a) Serratus ventralis (pars cervicalis)
3b) Serratus ventralis (pars thoracis)
4) Scalenus
5) External abdominal oblique
6) Pectoralis
7) External abdominal oblique aponeurosis
- 35—1) Epaxial muscle
2) External intercostals
3) Innermost intercostals
4) Internal intercostals
5) Internal thoracic artery
- 36How many PAIRS of ribs does the dog have?13
- 37In the standing dog, the olecranon is adjacent to approximately which rib?5th
- 38Contraction of the hypaxials causes what movement?Flexion of spine
- 39What part of a thoracic vertebra does the head of a rib articulate with?Vertebral body
- 40What is deep fascia also known as?Epimysium
- 41When the skin is removed from an animal at the abattoir, which layer allows its easy removal?Hypodermis
- 42What does contraction of omotransversaius do?Protracts forelimb
- 43Which thoracic muscle inserts onto the MEDIAL surface of the scapula?Serratus ventralis
- 44—1) Cranial and caudal edge of scapula
2) Olecranon
3) Tuber coxae
4) Costal arch
- 45What type of connective tissue is present in the hypodermis/superficial fascia?Loose (areolar) connective tissue (stores fat)
- 46What is deep fascia?Tough fibrous sheets which cover muscle or form septa which divide muscle groups
- 47What is the purpose of deep fascia?Determine tracking of infection (?)
- 48—A: Spinalis & semisplinalis
B: Longissimus thoracis
C: Iliocostalis
