Muscles & Tendons of Distal Limb Flashcards
what do the muscles of the antebrachium affect
joints of carpus and digits
where do muscles of the antebrachium originate
from epicondyles of humerus
where is the muscle belly of the atenbrachium muscles located
in antebrachium
where is the tendon insertion of the antebrachium muscles
distal to the carpus
where is the origin and insertion of the extensory carpi radialis muscle
O = lateral epicondyle of humerus
I = metacarpal bones
where is the extensor carpi radialis muscle located
cranial aspect of antebrachium
what is the function of the extensor carpi radialis muscle
crosses dorsal aspect carpus –> carpal EXTENSOR
what is the nerve supply to the extensor carpi radialis muscle
radial nerve
where does the oblique muscle cross and why is this a useful landmark
crosses at level at carpus
useful landmark for extensor carpi radialis muscle
what muscle is this
extensor carpi radialis muscle
what is the origin and insertion of the common digital extensor muscle
O = lateral epicondyle of humerus
I = all digits (distal phalanx - extensor process)
what is the location of the common digital extensor muscle
cranio-lateral aspect of antebrachium
what muscle is this
common digital extensor muscle
what is the funciton of the common digital extensor muscle
crosses dorsal aspect carpus –> carpal extensor
crosses dorsal aspect metacarpo-phalangeal joints & interphalangeal joints –> digital extensor
what is the nerve supply to the common digital extensor muscle
radial nerve
where do the digital extensory muscle tendons insert to
dorsal aspect of limb
how many branches are there of the common digital extensor muscle tendons in the dog
4 branches (+1 to dew claw)
how many branches of the common digital extensor muscle tendons are in the horse
1 branch
attaches dorsal aspect phalanges
protected by joint capsules (bursae)
recieves suspensory ligament branches
what muscle tendon is this
common digital extensor muscle tendons
where is the origin and insertion of the extensor capri ulnaris/ulnaris lateralis muscle
O = lateral epicondyle of humerus
I = metacarpal bone + ACB
where is the location of the extensor capri ulnaris/ulnaris lateralis muscle
lateral aspect of the antebrachium
what is the function of the extensor capri ulnaris/ulnaris lateralis muscle
crosses lateral aspect of carpus
carpal extensory + flexor
depends on the position of the limb

crosses caudal aspect carpus –> carpal flexor
what is the nerve supply to the flexor carpi ulnaris muscle
median & ulnar nerves
what muscle is this
flexor capri ulnaris muscle
what is the origin and insertion of the superficial digital flexor muscle
O = medial epicondyle
I = all digits (middle phalanx)
what is the location of the superficial digital flexor muscle
caudal aspect of the limb
what is the function of the superficial digital flexor muscle
crosses palmar aspect of carpus –> carpal flexor
crosses palmar aspect of metacarpo-phalangeal joints & proximal interphalangeal joints –> digital flexor
what is the nerve supply of the superficial digital flexor muscle
median and ulnar nerves
