MUSCLES THAT CONNECTS THE FORELIMB WITH THE TRUNK AND ARE ATTACHED TO THE SCAPULA:

a. M. trapezius

o Origin: between C3-Th9 region. - pars

cervicalis: from raphe of neck - pars thoracica:

from supraspinous ligament

o Insertion: cervical part inserts on proximal ¾

of scapular spine (distally there is the

omotransversarius muscle); thoracic part inserts

on proximal third of scapular spine

o Action: supports trunk, elevates (lifts) forelimb,

draws it cranially

b. M. rhomboideus o Origin: nuchal crest of occipital bone (pars

capitis); from raphe of neck to spinous processes

of Th1-3 vertebrae (pars cervicis); and from

processus spinosus of Th4-7 vertebrae (pars

thoracis)

o Insertion: dorsomedial border of scapula

o Action: elevates limb and pulls base of scapula

against trunk forwards or backwards (depending

on which part will contract more)

c. M. serratus ventralis o Origin: cervical part from proc. trans. of C2-7,

thoracic part from middle of ribs 1-8.

o Insertion: facies serrata on scapula (medially)

position of forelimb

d. M. omotransversarius o Origin: distal part of scapular spine, then runs under m. sternocleidomastoideus

o Insertion: caudal border of ala atlantis

e. Pectoral muscles

M. pectoralis superficialis It has two parts: m. pectoralis descendens and transversus

o Origin: m. pectoralis descendens from manubrium sterni, m. pectoralis transversus from 1-3rd sternebrae

o Insertion: crest of greater tubercle of humerus (crista tuberculi majoris), upper part of crista humeri

7

o Origin: all sternebrae of sternum and costal cartilages of true ribs

o Insertion: main part inserts on minor tubercle of humerus (and just a small aponeurosis joins to major

tubercle)

o Action: supports trunk, behaving as a strong retractor (draws limb caudally) and adductor of forelimb

o Action: If forelimb is fixed: unilateral contraction of the muscle moves head into the lateral direction,

bilateral contraction fixes head and neck (or bends downward). If limb is free (it’s in an elevated position), it

will move forelimb cranially.

INTERSPECIES DIFFERENCES EQ

m. deltoideus- no acromial part

m supraspinatus- inserts also on tuberculum minus (not just majus), between the inserting

tendons runs the tendon of m. biceps brachii (that’s why retinaculum transversum is not needed)

m. biceps brachii- at the origin under its tendon there is a bursa bicipitalis(!), retinaculum

transversum is missing (instead of that two tendons of m. supraspinatus fixes it), lacertus

fibrosus (fibrous connection between m. biceps brachii and m. extensor carpi radialis, which is

part of the passive stay apparatus) is especially developed.

m. triceps brachii- caput accessorium is missing

m. subclavius (also in su, Ru)- Origin: 1-4. costal cartilage, sternum, Insertion: bends with m.

supraspinatus and shoulder fascia, Action: suspension of the trunk

m. subclavius

INTERSPECIES DIFFERENCES; EQ

m. flexor carpi ulnaris- not divided, two heads unite

m. pronator teres, m. pronator quadratus, m. brachioradialis, m. supinator- not present

m extensor digitorum communis- has a caput accessorium (formely it was called muscle of

Thiernesse)

m. extensor digitorum lateralis- has a caput accessorium (formely it was called muscle of

Phillips)

m. flexor digitorum superficialis- there is ligamentum accessorium(!) (or proximal check

ligament) coming from the distal portion of radius to m. flexor dig. superficialis, the ligament is

a part of the passive stay apparatus

m. flexor digitorum profundus- caput ulnare is mostly tendinous, there is ligamentum

accessorium(!) (or distal check ligament) joining to m. flexor dig. profundus, which is the

fibrous continuation of the palmar carpal ligament and a part of the passive stay apparatus

the two digital flexor tendons are surrounded by vagina synovialis communis musculi flexorii

proximalis at the carpal joint, and vagina synovialis communis musculi flexorii distalis at the

fetlock joint

m. interosseus medius- fully tendinosus, next to metacarpal bone, it gives tractus appositus

towards the tendon of m. extensor dig. communis

Three fibrocartilaginous surfaces providing gliding surface for the digital flexor tendons:

Scutum proximale- fibrocartilaginous surface of lig. palmare for the digital flexor tendons

Scutum medium- fibrocartilaginous surface at Ph2 palmar, proximal side for the digital flexor

tendons

Scutum distale- fibrocartilaginous surface at the

distal sesamoid bone on the palmar side for the deep

digital flexor tendon

Elements of passive stay apparatus:

The passive stay apparatus is a group of ligaments, tendons

and muscles which "lock" major joints in the limbs of the

horse. It is best known as the mechanism by which horses

can enter a light sleep while still standing up.

Three transversal palmar ligaments hold the flexor tendons in place:

Ligamentum anulare palmare

Ligamentum anulare digitale proximale

Ligamentum anulare digitale distale
