Anatomía de los Músculos en Extremidades de Animales Domésticos

A muscle located in the shoulder region. It originates from the atlas and cervical vertebrae and inserts on the scapula.

Large, triangular shaped muscle. It's divided into cervical and thoracic portions. It originates from the cervical and thoracic vertebrae and inserts on the spine of the scapula.

This muscle helps stabilize the scapula. It originates from the nuchal crest of the occipital bone and the dorsal cervical fascia and inserts on the dorsal border of the scapula.

Muscle that has many attachments to the ribs. It originates from the cervical vertebrae and ribs and inserts on the cranial and caudal surfaces of the scapula.

A large, triangular muscle covering the back. It originates from the lumbar vertebrae, sacrum, and ilium and inserts on the humerus.

A muscle that helps with shoulder joint movement. It originates from the scapula and acromion and inserts on the humerus.

Muscle located above the spine of the scapula. It originates from the supraspinous fossa of the scapula and inserts on the greater tubercle of the humerus.

Muscle located below the spine of the scapula. It originates from the infraspinous fossa of the scapula and inserts on the greater tubercle of the humerus.

Small muscle that helps with rotation of the arm. It originates from the scapula and inserts on the deltoid tuberosity.

A large muscle that helps with arm movements. It originates from the subscapular fossa of the scapula and inserts on the lesser tubercle of the humerus.

This is the 'round' muscle that helps with arm extension and rotation. It originates from the scapula and inserts on the teres tuberosity of the humerus.

A muscle that helps the shoulder joint. It originates from the coracoid process of the scapula and inserts on the humerus.

This muscle helps with hip extension and abduction. It originates from the coxal tuberosity and the gluteal fascia and inserts on the fascia lata and fascia femoris.

This muscle helps with hip extension and abduction. It originates near the hip joint and the lumbodorsal fascia and inserts on the third trochanter in horses and greater trochanter in other species.

This muscle helps with hip abduction. It originates from the gluteal surface of the ilium and the coxal tuberosity and inserts on the caudal lateral border of the greater trochanter.

This muscle helps with hip extension. It originates from the body and wing of the ilium, the iliac spine, and the coxal tuberosity and inserts on the cranial lateral border of the greater trochanter.

This muscle helps with hip rotation. It originates dorsal to the obturator foramen and inserts on the subtrochanteric fossa of the femur.

This muscle helps with hip rotation. It originates around the obturator foramen and the ventral surface of the coxal bone and inserts on the subtrochanteric fossa of the femur.

These are the 'twin' muscles of the pelvis. They originate from the lateral surface of the ischium and insert on the subtrochanteric fossa.

This muscle helps stabilize the hip joint. It originates from the ventral surface of the ischium and inserts on the subtrochanteric fossa of the femur.

This muscle helps with hip extension and knee flexion. It originates from the ischial tuberosity and inserts on the lateral border of the patella, proximal end of the tibia, lateral surface of the tibia, and the calcaneal tuberosity.

This muscle helps with hip flexion and knee extension. It originates from the iliac crest and the tendon of the psoas minor muscle in horses and inserts on the proximal end of the tibia, medial aspect of the knee, and the tibial tuberosity.

This muscle helps with hip adduction. It originates from the prepubic tendon and the iliopubic eminence and inserts on the proximal third and medial surface of the femur.

This is a large muscle group that contributes to knee extension. It consists of the vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius and rectus femoris.
