Study Notes
Cat Muscle Anatomy Flashcards
- Sartorius: A thin, long muscle on the upper thigh; involved in flexing the hip and knee.
- Tensor fasciae latae: Located on the lateral hip, important for stabilizing and abducting the thigh.
- Gluteus medius: Positioned on the outer surface of the pelvis, aids in hip abduction and stabilization.
- Gluteus maximus: The largest muscle of the gluteal group, responsible for hip extension and outward rotation.
- Biceps femoris: A component of the hamstrings, it plays a role in knee flexion and hip extension.
- Semitendinosus: Another hamstring muscle, involved in knee flexion and hip extension.
- Tibialis anterior: Located in the lower leg, responsible for dorsiflexion and inversion of the foot.
- Extensor digitorum longus: A muscle that extends the toes and helps dorsiflex the foot.
- Gastrocnemius: A major calf muscle, involved in plantar flexion of the foot and flexion of the knee.
- Soleus: Works alongside gastrocnemius, primarily aiding in plantar flexion of the foot.
- Triceps brachii, long head: A muscle in the back of the upper arm, important for elbow extension.
- Triceps brachii, lateral head: Another part of the triceps muscle group, facilitates elbow extension.
- Brachialis: Located beneath the biceps, crucial for elbow flexion.
- Masseter: A jaw muscle that plays a key role in chewing by elevating the mandible.
- Right and left digastric, anterior head: Assists in depressing the mandible and elevating the hyoid bone.
- Mylohyoid: Forms the floor of the mouth, aiding in tongue movement and swallowing.
- Clavotrapezius: Part of the trapezius muscle group, involved in moving the scapula.
- Sternomastoid: A neck muscle that aids in rotation and flexion of the head.
- Acromiotrapezius: A muscle that stabilizes the scapula's position.
- Spinotrapezius: Another trapezius muscle, helps move the scapula backward.
- Latissimus dorsi: A large back muscle that contributes to arm adduction and extension.
- Pectoralis major: A thick chest muscle responsible for arm adduction and flexion.
- Pectoralis minor: Lies beneath pectoralis major, stabilizes the scapula.
- Subscapularis: Located on the anterior surface of the scapula, involved in arm rotation.
- Serratus ventralis: A muscle that stabilizes the scapula and assists with arm movement.
- Rectus abdominis: A key abdominal muscle, important for trunk flexion and stability.
- Clavodeltoid: Facilitates shoulder movement and arm elevation.
- Pectoantebrachialis: A muscle in the chest that helps to adduct the forelimb.
- External abdominal oblique: A muscle on the side of the abdomen, aids in trunk rotation and flexion.
- Internal abdominal oblique: Works in conjunction with the external oblique for trunk movements.
- Transverse abdominus: The deepest abdominal muscle; crucial for stabilizing the core.
- Geniohyoid: A small muscle located above the mylohyoid, important for swallowing.
- Teres major: A muscle that assists in shoulder adduction and rotation.
- Supraspinatus: A shoulder muscle that initiates arm abduction.
- Infraspinatus: Located below the supraspinatus, involved in shoulder rotation.
- Palmaris longus: A forearm muscle that flexes the wrist.
- Fascia lata: A connective tissue structure associated with the tensor fasciae latae, important for leg movement and stability.
