A.N.V of Pelvic Limb Flashcards
What nerves supply to cural and digital muscles
Tibial n
Common fibular n
What does the sciatic nerve terminate into
Common fibular n
Tibial n
Where can you see common fibular nerve?
As it crosses surface of lateral head of gastronemius to reach flexors of tarsus and extensors of digits
Where can you see the tibial nerve?
As it enters between the two heads of the gastrocnemius to reach extensors of tarsus and flexors of digits
What n supplies extensors of hip
Cranial and caudal gluteal n
What n supplies adductors of thigh
Obturator
What n supplies hamstring and extensors of hip
Sciatic
What n supplies flexors of tarsus/extensors of digits
Common fibular
What n is sensory to dorsal paw
Common fibular
What n supplies extensors of tarsus/flexors of digits
Tibial
What n is sensory to plantar paw
Tibial
What n innervates ilioposoas (flexor of hip), quadriceps (extensors of stifle), and sartorius
Femoral
What n is sensory to medial thigh and leg
Saphenous
Describe the location of the cranial gluteal a
Alongside cranial gluteal n on top of deep gluteal muscle
Describe location of caudal gluteal a
Alongside sciatic n as they pass between superficial and middle gluteal muscle
What a are the primary source of blood to the gluteal and hamstring muscles?
Caudal and cranial gluteal a
Cranial gluteal a branches off caudal gluteal and supplies middle and deep gluteal muscles
Caudal gluteal a supplies superficial and middle gluteal muscles with hamstrings
What arteries come off the femoral just proximal to the stifle?
Descending genicular and saphenous a
What a supplies the most blood to the plantar paw
Saphenous a
What are the boundaries of the femoral triangle?
Cranially=caudal sartorius
Caudally=pectineus, adductor
Laterally=ilioposas, rectus femoris (both proximally)
vastus medialis (distally)What are the contents in the femoral triangle
Femoral a
Femoral v
Saphenous n
In the popliteal region (back of stifle) the femoral a gives rise to
Distal caudal femoral a which then becomes the popliteal a
What is the continuation of the popliteal a on the craniolateral surface of the crus?
Cranial tibial a
Explain where you can find cranial tibial a
Located deep btw cranial tibial and long digital extensor muscles
What a continues the cranial tibial a
Dorsal pedal a
What is the major supplier of blood to dorsal paw?
Dorsal pedal a
What are the veins that have accompanying a of same name?
Femoral
Popliteal
Cranial tibial
Dorsal pedal
What are the superficial veins?
What is special about the lateral v?
Medial and lateral saphenous veins
Lateral vein has no corresponding a
Has 2 branches
Cranial
Caudal
Which v is good for venipunctures?
Cranial branch of the lateral saphenous v
What are the ligaments involved with the hip joint?
Ligament of the femoral head
Transverse acetabular ligament
What is a common condition that affects the hip joint?
Hip dysplasia
What are the ligaments involved with the stifle joint?
Patellar ligament femoropatellar ligaments (L/R) Menisci (cartilages) Femorotibial ligaments ->collateral (L/R) ->Cruciate (L/R)
Where does the patellar ligament etend and how does that affect extending action?
From patella to tibial tuberosity
Extends action of the quadricpes femoris to the tibia
What is a condition that affects the stifle joint?
Patella luxation
