16
Q

Sublumbar muscle group

A

Psoas minor & major
Iliacus
Iliopsoas - strong flexor of hip jt
Quadratus lumborum - ventral to transverse process of lumbar vertebrae

17
Q

Lameness due to Sublumbar muscle

A

Iliopsoas can cause lameness in horse, diagnose by palpating muscle rectally & eliciting signs of pain

18
Q

Muscles of crus

A

Long digital extensor - ext digits, flexes hock
Lateral digital extensor
Short digital extensor

19
Q

Extensor retinacula contain

A

Proximal extensor retinaculum (crural/tibial)
Middle extensor retinaculum (tarsal)
Distal extensor retinaculum (MT)

20
Q

Tenectomy procedure for stringhalt

A

2 cutes
1 - proximal @ musculo-tendinous junction of lateral digital extensor
2 - prior to union with long digital extensor tendon

21
Q

Reciprocal apparatus

A

Includes SDF and Peroneus tertius between the stifle/hock
Prevents stifle flexion & simultaneous ext of hock

22
Q

Cunean tendon

A

Medial branch of the cranial tibial muscle
Important for relieving OA in area or bursitis or bone spavin

23
Q

Location of subtenditious calcanean bursa

A

Within the SDF muscle

24
Q

Calcanean bursae

A

Sub tendinous bursa - constant between gastroc & SDF
Subcutaneous bursa - induced, inflammed= capped hock

25
Q

Pouches of talocrural synovial sac

A

Large Dorso medial pouch - easily punctured = bogus spavin
Medio-plantar & latero-plantar pouches

26
Q

Thoroughpin

A

Inflammation/distension of synovial sheath of DDFT

27
Q

Structures within tarsal canal

A

DDFT
Medial plantar VAN
Lateral plantar VAN

28
Q

Pelvic limb arteries - equine

A

External iliac
Femoral - saphenous a
Popliteal
< caudal tibial
< cranial tibial - dorsal pedal - dorsal metatarsal III

29
Q

How arteries travel on Eq

A

Laterally instead of deep and medially

30
Q

Main arteries in equine pes

A

Dorsal pedal - perforating tarsal - anatomoses saphenous -
< great MT & med & lat plantar /MT
- medial & lateral plantar digital a

31
Q

Veins in pelvic limb

A

Deep veins parallel arteries w same name
Medial saph vein crosses cunean tendon

32
Q

Fibular nerve path

A

Sciatic
Fibular - lateral cutaneous sural
< superficial branch - LDF
< deep branch - med & lat dorsal MT

33
Q

Tibial nerve path

A

Sciatic
Tibial -> incoming caudomedial mm of Crus
<medial plantar - medial plantar digital
<lateral plantar - lateral plantar digital <deep branch - med & lat plantar MT

34
Q

Nerve supply for proximal muscles

A

Vert heads of hamstring - caudal gluteal
PAGE - obturator
Quadriceps femoris - femoral
Sartorius - saphenous
Skin - ^^

35
Q

What nerve supplies a singular muscle ?

A

Superficial peroneal nerve supplies the lateral digital extensor muscle

36
Q

Tibial nerve

A

Runs between calcanean tendon & DDFT (medial aspect)
Innervates caudal crural mm < into med & lat plantar

37
Q

Medial and lateral plantar nerves

A

Pass through tarsal canal, run in the groove between flexor tendon & suspensory ligament
Communicating branch between med & lat branch can be absent
