What is the most lateral splint bone?
MC IV
What are the buttons of the metacarpus and are they palpable?
distal most portion of the splint bones; they are palpable
What sesamoidean bone is absent in the horse?
Dorsal sesamoid
O, A, I, and bursa of CDE
O: lateral epicondyle of the humerus
I: extensor process of the distal phalanx & proximal and middle phalannx (dorsal surface)
A: extend carpal and digital joints; flexes the elbow joint
bursa: at the fetlock joint; between its tendon and the fetlock joint capsule
What other tendons join the CDE?
extensor tendons from the susensory ligament to its tendon
The CDE is invested with a ______ _____, bound by the ______ ______. What other tendon also fits this?
synovial sheath; extensor retinaculum
LDE
What groove of the radius does the CDE pass through?
the lateral groove
What is the action of LDE?
extends the carpal and digital joints (fetlock and pastern)
O, A, I, and bursa of SDF
O: medial epicondyle of the humerus
I: middle phalanx and proximal phalanx
A: flexes the carpal and digital joint (fetlock, pastern), extends the elbow joint
No bursa
What are the structures associated with SDF?
proximal check ligament, carpal synovial sheath, manica flexoria, palmar annular ligament of the fetlock, proximal digital annular ligament
O, A, I, and bursa of DDF
O: medial epicondyle of the humerus
I: distal phalanx
A: flexes the carpal and digital joints, extends the elbow joint
What are the heads of DDF?
humeral, radial, and ulnar heads
What is the carpal synovial sheath?
sheath formed by SDF around DDF as they pass through the carpal canal; bound by flexor retinaculum
What structures are associated with the DDF?
carpal synovial sheath, distal check ligament, distal digital annular ligament, navicular bursa
What structure is a direct contunuation of the palmar carpal ligament?
Distal check ligament of the DDF
