MUSCLES OF THE PIG 



The stemo-cephalicus (Sterno-mastoicleus) arises on the sternum and is in- 

 serted by a long round tendon on the mastoid process. 



The thyroid portion of the sterno-thyro-hyoideus has a pecuhar arrangement. 

 It arises (separately from the opposite muscle) on the manubrium sterni. About 

 the middle of the neck it has an oblique tendinous intersection, beyond which it 

 divides into two branches; one of these is inserted in the usual fashion, the other 

 ends on the laryngeal prominence. The hyoid portion is well developed. 



The omo-hyoideus is thin. It arises as in the horse, but has no connection 

 with the mastoido-humeralis nor with the opposite muscle. 



The omo-transversarius arises on the first or second cervical vertebra (under 

 cover of the mastoido-humeralis) , and is inserted into the lower part of the scapular 

 spine. 



There are two scaleni. The scalenus ventralis (s. primae costse) resembles

that of the ox, is attached to the last four cervical vcrtelirffi, and is perforated l)y 

 the nerves of the brachial plexus. The scalenus dorsalis (s. supracostalis) arises 

 on the transverse processes of the third to the sixth cervical vertebra, and ends on 

 the third rib. 



The straight muscles of the head present no si:)ecial features. 



The longus colli is separated from the oi)i:)Osite muscle, so that part of the 

 bodies of the cervical vertebrae is exposed as in man. 



The intertransversales resemble those of the ox. 



The splenius is thick and extensive. It ends in three parts on the occipital, 

 the temporal, and the wing of the atlas (inconstant). 



The trachelo-mastoideus is small, and its atlantal portion is blended with the 

 longissimus. 



The complexus is large, and is clearly divided into two portions: the dorsal
