Q

how are dorsal skull bones formed

A

intramembranous

26
Q

why does the skull have many foramina

cervical
thoracic
lumbar
sacral
caudal

Q

what does the rib articulate to

A

2 successive vertebrae and the sternum directly

35
Q

what is the floating rib

A

the cartilage of the last rib doesnt connect

36
Q

what is the cranial element of the sternum called

A

manubrium

37
Q

what is the xiphoid cartilage

A

base of the sternum

38
Q

name the different parts of the pectoral limb

A

scapula
clavicle
humerus
radius and ulna
carpal bone
metacarpal bone
phalanges

39
Q

where is the accessory carpal bone

A

lateral
(little lateral bone)

40
Q

how are the metacarpal bones labelled

A

I to V
medial to lateral

41
Q

where are the paired proximal sesamoid bone

A

palmer MCP joint

42
Q

name the bones of the pelvis

A

ilium
pubis
ischium

43
Q

what are the parts of the pelvic limb

A

pelvis
femur
patella
fabellae

phalanges

44
Q

where is the acetabulum

socket where the lateral face of the femur articulates with the fusion of the ileum, pubis, ischium

45
Q

name the bony prominence of the femur

prominent trochanters

46
Q

what type of bone is the patella

A

sesamoid

47
Q

what is the Fabellae

A

small sesamoid bone opposite the patella in dogs

48
Q

which of the tibia and fibula are medial or lateral

A

tibia medial
fibula lateral

49
Q

name the proximal row of the tarsal bones

A

talus (medial) and calcaneus (lateral)

52
Q

how is the thoracic limb in birds modified

A

(wing)
strong pectoral girdle with additional coracoid bone

53

how is the bird adapted for flight

A

pneumatised bones
modified thoracic limb
huge sternum keel (for flight muscle attachment)

54
Q

what is the purpose of the medullary bone in birds

A

is a calcium storage

55
Q

why do reptiles have slow bone healing

A

less bone remodelling due to no Haversian bone system

56
