3.0 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:
- 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
excluding the hyoid bone and the mandible is
considered as being a long, four- sided pyramid.
Skull
This pyramid has the following surfaces:
Dorsal
Two lateral
Ventral
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) Horse:
Maxillary, frontal, sphenopalatine, ethmoidal
(5) Cattle:
frontal, palatomaxillary, lacrimal, sphenoidal, conchal
(5) Pig:
frontal, maxillary, lacrimal, sphenoidal, conchal
(3) Dog:
maxillary recess, frontal, sphenoidal
is the largest among the sinuses in
horses
Maxillary sinus
The maxillary sinus is the largest among the sinuses in
horses. It is divided by an oblique septum into:
Rostral compartment
Caudal compartment.
The maxillary sinus of Cattle has three openings
into lacrimal sinus
into palatine sinus
into middle nasal meatus
has maxillary recess between the
area of the maxillary bones, not inside
the maxillary bone
Dog
has two maxillary sinuses
separated by a bony septum, the rostral
maxillary sinus and the caudal maxillary
sinus
horse
have single maxillary
sinus
pig and ruminats
– paper thin caudal extent
of the maxillary sinus in the ruminants
lacrimal bulla
in the dorsal part of the skull, between
the orbits in the horse, small ruminants and carnivores;
In the ox and pigs, it extends to the back of the skull; in
ruminants it has a number of diverticula besides the
cornual diverticulum
frontal sinus
in horses, the joined frontal and
dorsal conchal sinus
Conchofrontal sinus
– in the horse, the large
opening between the caudal maxillary sinus and frontal
sinus
frontomaxillary opening
– the direct continuation of the
frontal sinus into the cornual process in horned
ruminants
cornual diverticulum
is very large. It involves nearly all the
frontal bone and a large part of the posterior wall of
the cranium.
frontal sinus
It extends into the horn processes when these are
present
frontal sinus of the cattle
is divided into one major and one to four minor
compartments. Each compartment has an anterior
outlet into the ethmoidal meatus and thus indirectly
into the middle nasal meatus.
Cavity (frontal sinus of cattle )
the drilling of holes (trephine holes) into the
paranasal sinus
trephination
all but the last upper cheek teeth can be removed
through the trephined holes in the maxillary sinuses; the
last cheek tooth is reached by trephining the conchofrontal
sinus (1 inch off midline between the medial canthi of the
eyes), then use a curved punch through the frontomaxillary
opening; care must be taken to avoid the infraorbital canal
and the lacrimal canal
horse
trephination of the four compartments frontal sinus
ox
of the frontal sinus is often opened
in dehorning and thus a possible entrance for inflammation
(sinusitis)
cornual diverticulum
inflammation of the paranasal sinuses;
trephination may be used to drain the infection
sinusitis
is situated between the vertical parts of
the rami of the mandibles. It is attached on either side
to the styloid process of the petrous temporal bone by
rods of cartilage.
hyoid bone
It supports the following structures:
Root of the tongue
Pharynx
Larynx
– the rostral projection of the basihyoid
bone into the tongue; carnivores lack such process but a
horse has a long one and the ox a short one
lingual process
The vertebral column is subdivided into five regions:
Cervical
Thoracic
Lumbar
Sacral
Caudal

Processes;
Articular
Transverse
Spinous
A typical vertebra is described as
having:-
Body
Arch
Processes
can be recognized by the fact that
they are:-
Massive and quadrangular,
Longer than vertebrae in other regions,
Cervical vertebrae
have as regional characters:-
Facet for articulation with the ribs,
Long spinous processes
Thoracic vertebrae
have as regional characters:-
Short bodies,
Expanded transverse processes.
Lumbar vertebrae
are fused to form a single bone.
Generally the sacrum is described as having:-
Two surfaces,
Two borders,
A base,
An apex.
Sacral vertebrae a
- Three foramina are present:
1. Intervertebral
2. Alar
3. Transverse
(atlas)
Horse
Alar foramen is a notch. (atlas)
Dog
Transverse foramen is absent. The
wings of the sheep atlas project posteriorly. (Atlas)
Cattle/sheep
- Transverse foramen is positioned in the
posterior border of wing (atlas)
Pig
The Axis or

dog
- Dens is characteristically spout- shaped.
cattle/sheep
Spinous process - bifid.
Horse
