differentiate ungulate, artiodactyla, and perrisoddactyla
ungulate: hooved animal
artiodactyla: even numbered toes
perrisodactyla: odd numbered toes
define raphe.
connective tissue strip that separates paired muscles lying against or originating from the midline;wheremuscleandaponeurosismeet
define aponeurosis.
thin sheath of connective tissue that helps connect muscle to bone
what is the difference between the axial and appendicular skeleon
axial: trunk
appendicular: limbs
describe the joint space for the shoulder.
proximal and caudal to the greater tubercule of the humerus; scapular spine roughly point toward the joint
describe the joint space for the elbow.
joint is distal to the olecranon process of the ulna
describe the joint space for the hip.
measure tuber coxae to the ischial tuberosity and the joint is just ventral to this line, cranial to greater trochanter, roughly 2/3 distance to ischial tuberosity
describe the joint space for the stifle.
joint is located between femoral condyle/patella and tibia tuberosity
describe the joint space for the hock.
tuber calcanei is proximal to the joint - joint location distal to calcaneus
distinguish between guard hairs, wool, tactile hairs, and long hairs.
guard hair: outer, primary hairs, coat color, long or short
wool: secondary hairs, fine/wavy, some breeds have abundant wool and no guard (sheep)
tactile: sinus hairs, whiskers, or vibrissae, root of tactile hair associated with blood sinus and sensory innervation, “sensory organ”, location can be lips, chin, cheek, periocular or carpal
long hairs: equine only, specific location (forelock, mane, tail, fetlock)
difference between chestnuts and ergots.
chestnuts: vestigial carpal and tarsal footpads located on the medial limbs of equidea; proximal to carpus in the forelimb and distal to tarsus in hindlimb
ergots: vestigial pad found on the palmar (forelimb) and plantar (hindlimb) aspect of the fetlock
what is the term for being naturally born without horns?
polled
how many mammary glands are present in the bitch, queen, sow, cow, mare, doe and ewe?
bitch: 5 pairs
queen: 4 pairs
sow: 7 pairs
cow: 4 glands
mare: 2 glands
doe: 2 glands
ewe: 2 glands
what is the difference between superficial and deep fascia
superficial: loose connective tissue sheets under the skin that store fat and loosely attach skin to body
deep: surrounds individual muscle and attaches muscle to bone
what type of fascia are SQ flluids administered into?
superficial fascia
what are scent glands?
sebaceous glands that produce oily secretions in the skin via holocrine processes; can be prone to number of disease processes (neoplasia or infection)
where are carpal glands found and in what species
location: carpus
species: swine and felidae
where are circumanal glands found and in what species
location: modified skin around the anus
species: dogs
where are circumoral glands found and in what species
location: lips and chin
species: cats
where are anal glands found and in what species
location: adjacent to anus, deep to external anal sphincter

where are infraorbital glands found and in what species
location: corner of the eye

location: base of the horn
species: goats
where are tail glands found and in what species
location: dorsal side of tail
species: dogs and cats
what are the 4 shapes of muscle/muscle types and their relative strength and range of contractile length.
- parallel - shortens/not strong
- fusiform - less shortening/strong
- pennate - not much shortening/very strong
- sphincter - smaller & smaller lumen in middle
define ligament, tendon, and retinaculum.
ligament: connects bone to bone
tendon: connect muscle to bone
retinaculum: straps of connective tissue that tether tendons down close to the bone to prevent “bowstring” when muscle contracts
name the beats of the types of gaits.
- walk - 4 beats
- trot (diagonal paired) - 2 beats
- pace (same side paired) - 2 beats
- canter - 3 beats
