Anatomy Atlas of Equine Myology


Introduction

This vet-Anatomy module features illustrations dedicated to the anatomy of muscles, including their tendons, insertion points, and the various fasciae and ligaments involved in equine mobility. These labelled anatomical illustrations are presented as an illustrated atlas covering the entire musculature of the horse. The purpose of this atlas is to support students and practising veterinarians in understanding the anatomical structures of the musculoskeletal system.

 

Material and methods

A total of 341 original medical illustrations and 3 photographs have been created, covering muscles of the head, neck, thorax, back, abdomen, tail, thoracic limb and pelvic limb. The tendons, areas of insertion, synovial sheaths and subtendinous bursae in the horse have also been represented.
The illustrations were produced by Felipe Barona Lopez, Marjorie Champarou, Estelle Demange, Anne-Sophie Emeric, Andrea Lopes da Costa, Antoine Micheau, Chloé Paris, scientific illustrators, under the anatomical and scientific supervision of Antoine Micheau, MD (Radiologist - Montpellier, France) and Denis Hoa, MD (Radiologist - Montpellier, France).
