Ventral superficial scutuloauricular muscle

Musculus scutuloauricular superficialis ventralis

Marjorie Champarou

The scutuloauricular superficialis ventralis muscle is broad and short. It doesn’t exist in ruminants. This muscle is one of the four muscles of the scutuloauriculares superficiales muscles (with the dorsal, the intermediate and the accessory) that help to orientate the intertragic notch rostrally.
