MUSCLES OF THE BACK AND LOINS

The =serratus anticus= is inserted into the fifth to the eighth ribs

inclusive, the serratus posticus into the last four or five ribs. There

are usually no digitations attached to the ninth and tenth ribs.

The =transversalis costarum= (Iliocostalis) extends to the wing of the

atlas.

The =spinalis et semispinalis= can be separated without much difficulty

from the longissimus dorsi, the division from the common mass of the

loins beginning about the first lumbar vertebra.

The =multifidus= resembles that of the horse.

=Interspinales= are present, as well as distinct =intertransversales= of

the back and loins.
