Question

In this illustration of a lateral view of the horse pelvic appendage the superficial gluteal muscles have been removed Thus we can see the 1. gluteus medius the femur bone and is the most powerful with actions of muscle. This muscle inserts on the tensor fascia lata of of the hip joint for propulsion and to kick off to the side. In the posterior leg we can see the 2. lateral head of the muscle that inserts onto the of the hock and gastroenemius bone and causes of the stifle joints; and in the thigh we see the 3. |rectus femoris muscle that originates at the iliac spine (as described in the human anatomy lecture) and thus can cause of the hip joint. Semitendinosus Psoas major Iliacus 3 Vastus lateralis Patella Adductor Extensor digitorum long Semi membranosus Extensor digitorum lateralis Flexor digitorum lateralis Soleus

Explanation / Answer

Answers

1. Gluteus medius. This muscle insert on the tensor fascia lata of the femur bone and is the most powerful with the actions of abduction of the hip joint for propulsion and Medial rotation to kick off the side. In the posterior leg we can see lateralaheaer head of gastronemius muscle that insert on to the Calcaneus bone and causes plantar flexion of the hock and flexion of the stifle joint. In the thigh we can see rectus femoris muscle that originate at thethe anterior inferior iliac spine and thus can cause flexion of the hip joint.
