About the lateral dorsal sacrocaudal muscle of the horse
Lateral dorsal sacrocaudal muscle is a muscle of the tail (tail), one on each side of the body. Its name in the Nomina Anatomica Veterinaria is Musculus sacrocaudalis dorsalis lateralis. You can turn it above, see it in place in the tail of the horse, and open it inside the whole animal in Vetomica.
Where it runs from and to
A muscle is told apart from its neighbours by what it takes hold of at each end, which is also what decides what it does when it shortens.
- Origin
- The sacrum and the leading tail vertebrae at their transverse processes, continuing the longissimus.
- Insertion
- By long tendons on the more distal caudal vertebrae.
- Action
- Raises the tail and bends it sideways.
- Nerve
- Dorsal branches of the caudal nerves.
