Assignment 14 (Equine) Flashcards
Medial and lateral glenohumeral ligaments are well developed, arise from the supraglenoid tubercle, and end on the greater tubercle. True or false?
True; They are poorly developed and end on the greater AND lesser tubercles.
What type of joint is the elbow joint? What are its primary movements?
Hinge joint; flexion and extension
What are the articular surfaces of the elbow joint?
trochlear surface of the humerus and the capitulum
trochlear notch of the ulna
radial head
The bursa of UL m. communicates with the elbow joint in one third of horses. True or false?
True
Describe the parts of the lateral and medial collateral ligaments of the elbow.
Lateral: Short, one part
Medial: long, cranial part AND short, caudal part
What are the radioulnar articular surfaces?
two small facets, on the ulna and the caudal surface of the radius
What is the radioulnar ligament?
Runs from shaft of the ulna to the caudal surface of the radius
What type of joint is the carpal joint overall?
Hinge joint
What joints of the carpal joint communicate?
Middle carpal and carpometacarpal joints communicate
What is the intercarpal joint?
Formed between the individual carpal bones of each row, very limited range of motion
What is another name for the antebrachiocarpal joint?
radiocarpal
What forms the radiocarpal joint?
distal end of the radius and ulna PLUS the proximal carpal bones
What are the primary movements of the radiocarpal joint?
flexion and extension
What joints have the most and less movement in the carpal joint?
most- radiocarpal
less- carpometacarpal (plane joints do not allow much movement)
What forms the middle carpal joint?
proximal and distal carpal rows
What forms the carpometacarpal joint?
distal carpal bones and metacarpal bones
The fibrous part of the joint capsule is common for all three joints of the carpus. True or false?
True
Describe the fibrous parts of the joint capsule.
Dorsal part is the extensor retinaculum.
Palmar part is the palmar carpal ligament.
Continues distally as the distal check ligament.
What sacs are formed by the synovial membrane?
Three sacs correspond to three joints.
Which synovial sac of the carpal joint is voluminous?
radiocarpal sac
Which synovial sac of the carpal joint communicates between the 3rd and 4th carpal bones?
middle carpal WITH the carpometacarpal
Which synovial sac is tight and encloses the carpometacarpal joint?
Carpometacarpal sac
Where does the superficial branch of the lateral collateral ligament of the elbow insert?
MC4
Where does the deep branch of the lateral collateral ligament of the elbow insert?
proximal part- ulnar carpal bone
distal part- MC4
Where does the superficial branch of the medial collateral ligament of the elbow insert?
MC2 and MC3
