3-Osteo Flashcards
in growing bone is easily fractured
Physis –
can be harvested surgically and moved
to a fracture site to aid in repair;
Cancellous bone
► sources of cancellous bone are:
► 1. Tibial tuberosity,
► 2. Greater tubercle of humerus,
► 3. greater trochanter of femur,
► 4. wing of the ilium
The Axial Skeleton consist
of:
► Skull
► Vertebrae
► Sternum
► Ribs
The skull, excluding the hyoid bone and the mandible, is
considered as being a long, four- sided pyramid.
This pyramid has the following surfaces:
⚫ Dorsal
⚫ Two lateral
⚫ Ventral
is considered as being a long, four- sided pyramid.
The skull,
only in horse and cat; between two
parietal bones rostral to the occipital bone;
► in other species, it is present in the fetus then fuse with
surrounding bones before birth
Interparietal bone
forms the entire roof of the cranium in ox and pig
Frontal bone
splanchnic bone in the nose of pigs
Rostral bone –
complete in the horse and ruminants, incomplete in the
carnivores but is completed by the orbital ligament
Bony orbit –
only in horses; the ridge on the lateral surface of the face
Facial crest
in ruminants, the process on the lateral surface of the
face
Facial tuberosity –
the process of the frontal
bone of horned ruminants that is enclosed by
the horn
Cornual process
in ruminants, has been
pushed to the lateral side of the skull by the frontal bone
Temporal fossa
in ruminants and pigs
► is the joining of the round and orbital
foramina of other species
Foramen orbitorotundum
are
large air spaces which communicate
directly or indirectly with the nasal
cavity.
paranasal sinuses of the skull

(4) _____: maxillary, frontal,
sphenopalatine, ethmoidal
