Muscle Serratus Dorsal Caudal

The serratus dorsal caudal muscle (lat. m. serratus dorsalis caudalis) is a skeletal muscle located in the dorsal region of the horse’s neck.

It starts from the spinous processes of the last cervical and first thoracic vertebrae and is attached to the base of the scapula. The function of the muscle is to raise and adduct the scapula and participate in neck movements.

The serratus dorsal caudal muscle is innervated by branches of the cervical plexus. Blood supply is provided by the muscular branches of the brachiocephalic artery.

Injuries or diseases in this area may result in limited mobility of the neck and shoulder blade. Massage and physical therapy help restore normal muscle function.

Muscles are an integral part of our body and play an important role in its functioning. One such muscle is the serratus dorsocaudalis muscle, also known as the “thoracic muscle.” This is a back muscle that helps form the ribbed surface between the two shoulder blades.

The serratus caudalis dorsalis muscle, or simply the “Serratus muscle” (M. serratis dorsales caudales, JNA), is a muscle involved in the formation of the costal surface between two ribs. It has the shape of a triangle turning into a semicircle and limits the free breast, pressing it to the back.

First, let's look at the anatomical approach to this muscle. We begin our work from the medial space of the scapula, where the upper trapezius muscle ends parallel to the previous muscle. The muscle then moves to the body of the scapula itself and continues vertically between the last rib and the fifth lumbar vertebra
