Smooth Muscles
Veterinary Anatomymooth muscle is also called as non-striated or involuntary muscle, because the contraction of the muscle is not controlled by the will of the animal
Skeletal Muscles
Veterinary AnatomyThey are both directly or indirectly attached to the skeleton and hence often named as skeletal muscles
Muscles of Animals
Veterinary AnatomyMyology deals with the study of muscles (musculi) and their accessory structures such as the fasciae and synovial membranes. The muscles of animals are highly specialized organ.
Applications of Biomechanics
Veterinary AnatomyThe study of biomechanics ranges from the function of a cell to the movement and development of limbs, to the mechanical properties of soft tissue, and bones
Types of Movement in animals
Veterinary AnatomyMovement is brought about by the coordinated movement of the different body parts. During locomotion, the limbs are moved in a repetitive and regular sequence
Centre of Gravity for animals
Veterinary AnatomyThe centre of gravity is the point where the maximum weight of the body is exerted. It varies in position static animal and during locomotion
Biomechanics of hindlimb
Veterinary AnatomyForward propulsion in locomotion is mainly brought about by the action of pelvic limbs. Hence, they are stronger, more muscular…
Biomechanics of Forelimb
Veterinary AnatomyIn terrestrial mammals, the forelimbs bear the greater load both while rest and during locomotion. Their main function is to stabilize and…
Biomechanics of Trunk
Veterinary AnatomyConstruction of the body axis can be more accurately compared with the “Bow and String” theory to understand Biomechanics of Trunk.
Statics and Dynamics
Veterinary AnatomyBiomechanics includes the principles of statics and dynamics. Dynamics refers to the movement of the body parts during locomotion.
