what are some bony feature differences in the horse compared to the dog
scapula: carilage “withers”, no acromion, has tuber of the spine
humerus: greater, less, intermediate tubercles
fused radius/ulna
carpal bones: accessory, ulnar, radius, intermediate
metacarpals: 2-4
digit: 3
what are the three ligaments that bind down the flexor tendons as they pass over the fetlock in the horse
- annular ligament of the fetlock
- proximal digital annular ligament
- distal digital annular ligament
what are the 3 distal sesamoidean ligaments in the horse
- straight sesamoidean ligaments
- oblique sesamoidean ligaments
- cruciate sesamoidean ligaments
differ between nerve blocks and joint blocks
nerve blocks: anesthetic around sensory nerve, prevents AP transmission, anesthetic in distribution of nerve distal to point of injection
joint blocks:anesthetic directly into, no effect outside synovial space, anesthetic in synovial membrane and articular surfaces

binds flexor tendons to proximal sesamoid bones
what muscle bears majority of the trunks weight
m.serratus ventralis
what are some bony differences in the cow compared to dog/horse
scapula: acromion, scapular cartilages
humerus: greater, less tubercles
fully developed radius/ulna with 2 interosseous spaces
carpal bones: accessory, ulnar, radial, intermediate, 2+3 fused, 4
metacarpals: 3+4 fused and 5
digits: 3-4
what are some muscle differences in the cow
common digital extensor has 2 bellies, medial t goes to digit 3, lat t goes to digit 3/4
lateral digital ext. t goes to digit 4

16 totipotent cells in the embryo
splitting of this into two separate concepti results in identical twins
Why are radiographs taken near term not likely to be injurious to a fetus?
Because the fetus near term has already had most of its cellular differentiation take place
