Carpus, its muscles, muscles of the radioulnar joint

1
Q

What about the muscles of the carpal joint

A

The muscles that work on the carpal joint are long muscles that cover the skeleton of the antebrachia, they work on two joints as they originats from the humerus and stretches down to the carpus or metacarpus.

These muscles are either flexors or extendors as the domestic mammals don’t need much movement.

Q

M. extensor carpi ulnaris

A

In carnivores it is an extendor but in the herbivores it is a flexor. The secondary tendon to the accessory bone wll take over the job for the missing lateral collateral

Ca: inserts on Mc5 and accessory carpal bone, where it blends with retinaculum flexorium

Su: separate branch that inserts on the accessory bone

Eq: main insertion is the accessory carpal bone an remnants of a secondary on Mc4

Ru: main insertion is the accessory carpal bone

Q

Muscles of the radioulnar joint

Q

Bones of the carpus + interspecies

A

The proximal row is also known as the antebrachial row a full set consists of:

  1. Os carpi radiale – most medially situated
  2. Os carpi intermedium – lieas just below the radius and ulna
  3. Os carpi ulnae – just distal to ulna, laterally
  4. Os carpi accesorium – caudally on the lateral side

The distal row, also known as the metacarpal row, consists of:

  1. Os carpale primum
  2. Os carpale secundum
  3. Os carpale tertium
  4. Os carpale quartum
  • Medial to lateral

Interspecies differences

Su: 8 a full set

Eq: 7-8 C1 is often missing

Ca: 7 Radiale and intermedium is fused to form intermedioradiale

Ru: 6 C1 is missing
C2 and C3 is fused to form Os carpale II et III
