Trapezius Muscle is a broad triangular muscle extending along the dorsal midline from the level of atlas to the end of the thoracic region, and covers a part of the shoulder. It consists of cervical (trapezius cervicis) and dorsal(trapezus thoracis) parts. Origin: Ligamentum nuchae and supraspinous ligament from the level of the atlas to the twelfth dorsal vertebra. Insertion: The tuberous part […]

Axilla It is a narrow space between the chest wall and the pectoral limb containing a large amount of loose connective tissue. This space is crossed by the large vessels and the nerves intended to supply the muscles of the pectoral limb. It corresponds to the armpit of the man. In resting condition, this space

The forelimb is attached to the body by a group of muscles called muscles of the shoulder girdle. These muscles connect the forelimb with the head, neck and trunk. They are as follows Pectoral Muscles Superficial pectoral Cranial superficial pectoral Caudal superficial pectoral Deep pectoral Trapezius Muscle Trapezius cervicis Trapezius thoracis Branchiocephalicus Muscle Omotransversarius muscle Latissimus dorsi muscle Serratus

Ox Musculus Cutaneous / Cutaneous muscle / Panniculus carnosus Some striated muscles are placed at the subcutis in some parts of the body are known as cutaneous muscles. In some places, these fibers are inserted into the skin. They may have connection with the skeleton. It is divided into – Facial (cutaneous facial) part Omo-brachial (cutaneous

The accessory structures of the muscles are the fasciae and synovial membranes. Synovial membranes are thin walled sacs.

Cardiac muscle is found only in the heart, the immediate proximal ends of aorta, pulmonary artery and pulmonary veins

mooth muscle is also called as non-striated or involuntary muscle, because the contraction of the muscle is not controlled by the will of the animal

They are both directly or indirectly attached to the skeleton and hence often named as skeletal muscles

Myology deals with the study of muscles (musculi) and their accessory structures such as the fasciae and synovial membranes. The muscles of animals are highly specialized organ.
