		BRACHIORADIALIS- This muscle is primarily a flexor of the forearm.
		This muscle is the antagnonistic muscle to the biceps and very important in the act of throwing.
		SERRATUS ANTERIOR- This muscle is located on the side of the chest and the upper nine ribs and wraps around to the scapula (shoulder blades).It aids in movement and abduction of the scapula.

		The pectineus muscle is a flat, quadrangular muscle, situated at the anterior part of the upper and medial aspect of the thigh.
		It is one of the muscles primarily responsible for hip flexion.

		Pectineus originates on the pecten pubis, the bone between the iliopectineal eminence and the pubic tubercle, and the fascia on the muscle's anterior surface.
		Pectineus is innervated by the femoral nerve from L2 and L3 spinal nerves, and the accessory obturator nerve when it is present.
		Pectineus is supplied by the obturator artery, the medial circumflex femoral artery, the first perforating branch of the arteria profunda, the deep external pudendal artery and the femoral artery.

	The Hip
		Further, it is critical to understand the lumbar and sacral region, the important nerve roots that enervate the muscles of the lower extremities, and the consequences of subluxation, herniation, and deterioration of the spine from past injury.
		Lying underneath the piriformis, the obturator internus muscle arises at the medial surface of the pubis, and passes the lesser sciatic notch to insert onto the greater trochanter laterally.
		The rectus abdominus is the anterior muscle of the abdominal wall, rising from the middle ribs, passing down the abdomen and narrowing as it insert onto the pubis.

		The psoas minor, when present as a muscle, pulls the pubic bone closer to the 12th thoracic, and is thus involved in lumbar flexion and posterior pelvic tilt.
		This means the pectineus could either pull the femur into adduction, or, as in standing when the femur is fixed, it could pull the pubic bone toward the femur to create a pelvic rotation.
		This is the attachment of the pectineus, but I prove it to myself by having the client lift their foot off the table, bringing their knee toward the opposite shoulder.

		Its origin is from the pubic bone near the origins of the adductor longus muscle and pectineus muscle.
		To expose the underlying adductor brevis muscle, cut the adductor longus muscle about 5 cm inferior to its origin from the pubic bone and reflect the adductor longus muscle distally.
		Next, cut the pectineus muscle near its origin and reflect the pectineus muscle [held by the forceps; the adductor longus muscle is held by the retractor] distally.

		The muscles to be discussed are the iliopsoas, rectus femoris, sartorius, pectineus, the three adductor muscles, gracilis, gluteus maximus, deep rotator muscles (collectively), the three hamstring muscles, gluteus medius and minimus and the tensor fascia latae muscle.
		The sartorius muscle originates from the front portion of the superior side of the hip bone, and inserts onto the upper inside of the tibia.
		This muscle is the longest muscle of the body, and is not a prime mover during motion in the three planes.

		The motor branches to the sartorius muscle depart from the anteromedial aspect of the femoral nerve toward the sartorius muscle.
		The femoral nerve supplies muscular branches of the iliacus and pectineus, and the muscles on the anterior thigh, except the tensor fascie femoris.
		It should be kept in mind that sartorius muscle twitch is not reliable because the branches to the sartorius muscle may be outside the femoral sheath.

		MUSCLE AND CHD: Research has shown that dogs with CHD have significantly decreased sizes of total pelvic musculature surrounding and acting on the hip joint.
		In dogs with a strong genetic background for CHD, the microscopic makeup and contractibility of the Pectineus Muscle are strikingly different from the same muscle of normal dogs.
		The theory is that a tight or inelastic Pectineus Muscle causes tension in such a direction that the force tends to pull the head of the femur away from the acetabulum.

		The pectineus is a flat, quadrangular muscle, situated at the front part of the upper and middle part of the thigh.
		It arises from the pectin pubis (called the "pectineal line") and, to some extent, from the surface of the bone just in front of it.
		The pectineus muscle flexes and moves the thigh toward the body and rotates it toward the center.

		The posterior branch innervates the obturator externus and portions of the adductor magnus and pectineus muscles.
		Pain may be induced in the affected areas by a pectineus muscle stretch (figure 2) or by resisted external rotation of the hip.
		It involves dividing the fascia over the pectineus and adductor longus muscles (figure 1) and dissecting the space between the two muscles to reveal the anterior branch of the nerve beneath a thick fascia.

	Hip/Thigh
		Be aware that these two muscles are flat so don't 'dig in' as you dissect them as you might damage a great number of important muscles underneath.
		If you look at the pictures of this muscle before you come to lab, you should have little trouble identifying and dissecting it, though the connective tissue between the muscles of this group can at times be thick.
		Since this muscle is often nondescript in many of our cats, you are not required to dissect or learn this muscle.

		This block is well suited for surgery quadriceps muscle biopsy (shown), knee surgery (arthroscopy), quadriceps tendon repair and postoperative pain management after femur and knee surgery.
		Femoral nerve block alone is typically sufficient as a sole anesthetic for knee arthroscopy, patella tendon repair, patella fracture repair and biopsy of the anterior thigh (quadriceps muscle).
		After the quadriceps muscle twitch is obtained (patella twitch) at 0.5 mA, the initial bolus of local anesthetic is injected (15-20 ml) and the catheter is inserted 5-10 cm beyond the tip of the needle.

		Image #2 is a CT of the pelvis demonstrating an abnormal ovoid soft tissue mass in the region of the right obturator foramen.
		The most characteristic and highly specific finding for obturator hernia is a soft tissue mass located superficial to the obturator externus and just deep to the pectineus muscle, representing the herniated loop of bowel.
		This characteristic finding must be recognized on CT secondary to the fact that strangulation of the obturator hernia has the highest mortality rate of all hernias.
