Fascia of Thigh The superficial fascia of the thigh does not merit any special description. The internal portion of the deep fascia covers the first layer of the muscles on the inner aspect of the thigh and becomes continuous inferiorly with the fascia of the leg and interiorly with that part of the deep fascia,
The variations in the musculature of the dog is given below. The posterior superficial pectoral is thin and narrow. The anterior deep pectoral is feeble and terminates along with the posterior deep pectoral on the humerus. The trapezius is thin and divided into cervical and dorsal portions. The right and left muscles meet on a fibrous raphe. The omotransversarius is a well developed
The variations in the musculature of the horse is given below. The anterior superficial pectoral is more distinct than the posterior. The deep pectoral is divisible into anterior and posterior divisions. The anterior deep pectoral extends in front of the supraspinatus to the cervical angle of the scapula. The posterior is fan shaped. The trapezius
Flexor muscle of Arm region muscles are situated around the posterior and medial aspects of the forearm. They are arranged in two layers – superficial and deep. Superficial layer Pronator teres Flexor carpi radialis (Medial flexor of the carpus) Flexor carpi ulnaris (Middle flexor of the carpus) Ulnaris lateralis (Flexor metacarpi externus) Deep layer Superficial digital flexor (Flexor pedis
Extensor muscles of Arm region are situated around the dorsal and lateral aspects of the forearm. They are- Extensor carpi radialis Medial digital extensor Common digital extensor (Extensor digitalis communis) Lateral digital extensor (Extensor digitalis lateralis) Extensor carpi obliquus Extensor carpi radialis This is the largest of the extensor muscles and lies over the dorsal face
Muscles of Arm region group consists of muscles, which are grouped around the Humerus. Some arise from the scapula and others from the Humerus and all are inserted to the forearm. They are as follows Biceps brachii Triceps brachii Long head (Caput longum tricipitis) Lateral head (Caput parvum tricipitis) Medial head (Caput medium tricipitis) Tensor
Lateral group of muscles of Shoulder region – Deltoideus Supraspinatus Infraspinatus Teres minor Deltoideus This muscle lies at the scapulo-humoral angle, partly on the triceps and partly on the infraspinatus. It consists of two parts, acromial and scapular, which are placed one above the other and are separated by an interval Origin: Acromial part – Acromion process and scapular fascia Scapular part
Medial group of muscles of Shoulder region – Teres major Subscapularis Coraco brachialis Teres Major This is a flat, long muscle extends obliquely downwards and forwards between the dorsal angle of the scapula and the arm. It lies behind the subscpularis and on the medial face of the long and medial heads of the triceps
The muscles of the shoulder are divided into two groups viz., Medial group Teres major Subscapularis Coraco brachialis Lateral group Deltoideus Supraspinatus Infraspinatus Teres minor
