Muscles/Bones/Connective Tissue

slide16.gif


Muscles of the distal forelimb:
-extensors attach laterally
-exceptions: ulnaris lateralis (flexs carpus) and pronator teres (pronates limb)
-flexors attach medially
-beginning cranially, moving clockwise looking down from above the dog
-extensor carpi radialis
-pronator teres
-flexor carpi radialis
-deep digital flexor (radial, humeral, ulnar heads)
-superficial digital flexor
-flexor carpi ulnaris (humeral and ulnar heads)
-ulnaris lateralis
-supinator
-lateral digital extensor
-adductor digiti I longus
-pronator quadratus
-common digital extensor
-extensor carpi radialis
Muscles of the distal pelvic limb:
-from cranial to caudal
-cranial tibial
-long digital extensor
-peroneus longus
-lateral digital extensor
-deep digital flexor
-superficial digital flexor
-gastrocnemius

Now let's check that.  Ah.  Should have specified; looking down from above at the LEFT LIMB of the dog.  The book shows a right limb and for a moment I had a total panic attack.  And on the hind limb: forgot about the popliteus.  But really, that is very proximal so who cares.

At this point I am simply ready to have this anatomy test over with.  I have dreams not about anatomy but certainly incorporating more than is normal or sane.  I'm pretty confident that I know enough not to fail and that is okay for now.  (Thank you again, pass/fail!)

PS, Does anyone have any clue how to make this image be wrapped by the text (which is where blogger says it is, but clearly it isn't) instead of ginormously in the beginning?
