- Biceps femoris muscle is the main flexor of the stifle joint.
- Gastrocnemius muscle serves as the extensor of the hock.
- Transverse abdominis muscle forms the wall or floor of the abdomen.
- Diaphragm muscle separates the thoracic cavity from the abdominal cavity.
- External intercostal muscles rotate the ribs upward and forward during inspiration.
- Internal abdominal muscles push abdominal organs caudally during expiration, aiding in diaphragm return.
