    Study Notes

    Extrinsic Muscles of the Thoracic Limb

    • The brachiocephalicus is an extrinsic muscle of the thoracic limb but not of the forelimb.

    Identification of Muscles

    • The two pectoral muscles that make up the superficial pectorals are not specified, but the pectoralis descendens is a superficial pectoral muscle that extends from the sternum to the humerus and is larger and longer than the superficial pectoral muscles.
    • The cleidobrachialis and cleidocephalicus make up the cleidocephalicus muscle.
    • The muscle that originates on the first sternebra/manubrium and inserts on the mastoid part of the temporal bone and the nuchal crest of the occipital bone, drawing the head and neck to the side, is the sternocleidomastoid muscle.

    Actions of Muscles

    • The action of the brachiocephalicus is to elevate, adduct, and draw the neck and head to the side.
    • The omotransversarius originates from the spinal segment and inserts on the spine of the scapula, and is responsible for raising the point of the shoulder and assisting in flexion of the shoulder joint.
    • The trapezius is divided into descending and transverse parts.

    Muscle Identification

    • The muscles covered from proximal to distal are not specified, but the labeled muscle in the view is the trapezius.
    • The origin and insertion of the trapezius are not specified, but it is matched to a color-coded portion.

    Deep Muscles of the Canine

    • The two muscles that insert on the teres major tuberosity are not specified, but the muscles above are the deeper muscles of the canine.
