Action: flex atlantooccipital joint and draw neck downward
Longus colli (origin, insertion, action)
Thoracic:
Origin: ventral surfaces of T1-6
Insertion: transverse processes of C6-7

Cervical:
Origin: ventral borders of transverse processes of C3-6
Insertion: ventral crest of cranial vertebra, and ventral tubercle of atlas

Action: draw neck downward
Obliquus capitis cranialis (origin, insertion, action)
Origin: lateral wing of atlas

Insertion: mastoid process and nuchal crest

Action: extend atlanto-occipital joint (nod head)
Obliquus capitis caudalis (origin, insertion, action)
Origin: spinous process and caudal articular process of axis

Insertion: wing of atlas

Action: stabilizes and rotates atlantoaxial joint (shake head)
Rectus capitis dorsalis (origin, insertion, action)
Origin: spinous process of axis and dorsal arch of atlas

Insertion: occipital bone

Action: extend atlantooccipital joint (nod head)
Action and innervation of epaxial muscles
Action: extend vertebral column, or bend it when they act unilaterally

Innervation: dorsal branches of spinal nerves
Components of carotid sheath (4)
Carotid artery
Internal jugular vein
Vagosympathetic trunk
Tracheal lymphatic duct
Name 3 fetal bypass structures and their adult remnants
Ductus venosus:umbilical vein --> caudal vena cava, bypasses liver (ligamentum venosum)

Foramen ovale: right atrium --> left atrium, bypasses pulmonic circulation (fossa ovalis)

Ductus arteriosus: pulmonary trunk --> aorta, bypasses pulmonic circulation (ligamentum arteriosum)
Branches of thoracic spinal nerves
Dorsal:
Medial: motor to epaxial muscles
Lateral cutaneous: sensory to skin

Ventral:
Intercostal: motor to thoracic wall
Lateral and ventral cutaneous: sensory to skin
Line of pleural reflection
Sternum at 8th costal cartilage --> middle of 9th costal cartilage --> junction of 11th rib --> dorsal 13th rib
Auscultation area of lungs
Dorsal border: lateral margin of epaxials

Cranial border: 5th rib

Ventral/caudal border: curved line from costochondral juntion of rib 6 --> middle of rib 8 --> dorsal rib 11
Pleural recesses (2)
Costodiaphragmatic

Costomediastinal
Structure cranial to heart? Function?
Thymus: trains incompetent T-cells
Thoracic lymph nodes (names, afferent and efferent)
Sternal: drain muscles of ventral chest wall, diaphragm, mediastinum, first three pairs of mammary glands (--> cranial veins)

Tracheobronchial: drain lungs, mediastinal structures, part of diaphragm (--> cranial mediastinal lnn.)

Cranial mediastinal: drain structures of mediastinum and deep muscles at base of neck (--> veins at thoracic inlet)
Muscle structure of esophagus
Dogs and ruminants: tunica muscularis is all skeletal muscle, mucosa forms transverse folds

Cat, horse, pig: tunica muscularis transitions from skeletal to smooth muscle, mucosa creates herringbone pattern caudally
Puncta maxima of cardiac valves (dog and cat)
DOG:
Pulmonary: left 3rd intercostal space at junction
