Q

Which animal has an undivided cleiocephalicus?

a. dog
b. pig
c. horse
d. catle

A

c. horse

Cleidocephalicus can be divided based on their insertion at the head (cleidooccipitalis – occipital bone; cleidomastoideus – mastoid process of the temporal bone). This division is present in most domestic animals except in horse in which it is undivided and inserted only at the mastoid process of
the temporal bone (cleidomastoideus).
