21
Q

how does the humerus of equines and bovine differ from canine?

A

equine: tubercles are divided into cranial and caudal parts and there is an intermediate tubercle
bovine: tubercles are divided into cranial and caudal parts; no intermediate tubercle

22
Q

give 3 features of the radius common to canine, equine, bovine

A
  1. head
  2. radial tuberosity
  3. medial styloid process
23
Q

give 6 features of the ulna common to canine, equine, bovine

A
  1. olecranon
  2. olecranon tuberosity (bovine, equine) or process (canine)
  3. anconeal process
  4. medial and lateral coronoid process
  5. trochlear notch
  6. lateral styloid process
24
Q

describe the equine radius and ulna (3)

A
  1. radius and ulna attached and PARTIALLY fused; interosseus space is very small
  2. radius possesses a lateral styloid process; also known as distal epiphysis of ulna
  3. the distal cranial end has a groove for the common digital extensor
25
Q

describe the radius and ulna of bovine (4)

A
  1. radius and ulna entirely fused and ulna extends entire length
  2. bears weight and articulates with carpal bones
26
Q

describe the canine carpal bones (4)

A
  1. 7 total and arranged in two rows
  2. proximal row: intermedioradial, ulnar, accessory
  3. distal row: C1-C4
  4. C4 is the largest and articulates with digit 4
27
Q

is the accessory carpal bone weight bearing in canines?

28
Q

describe equine carpal bones (3)

A
  1. 7 total and arranged in 2 rows
  2. proximal row: radial carpal, intermediate carpal, ulnar carpal, accessory carpal
  3. distal row: C2, C3, C4
29
Q

is the accessory carpal bone weight bearing in equines?

30
Q

is C1 present in equines?

A

only about 50%

31
Q

is C5 present in equines?

A

extremely rare

32
Q

describe bovine carpal bones (3)

A
  1. SIX total (not 7 like canine and equine); arranged in 2 rows
  2. proximal row is same as equine
  3. distal row: C2 and C3 fused, C4
33
Q

is C1 or C5 present in bovines?

34
Q

describe canine metacarpal bones

A

metacarpals 1-5, with 1 most medial and 5 lateral

35
Q

describe equine metacarpal bones (3)

A
  1. MC3=cannon bone
  2. proximodorsal of MC3 has metacarpal tuberosity
  3. MC2 and MC4 are present as splint bones; splint bones have buttons 3/4 of the way down the cannon
36
Q

describe bovine metacarpal bones (2)

A
  1. MC3 and MC4 are combined to form one cannon bone
  2. a rudimentary MC5 may be present
37
Q

describe the phalanges in all species

A
  1. proximal phalanx = P1
  2. middle phalanx = P2
  3. distal phalanx = P3
38
Q

what is P3 also known as in canines?

A

ungual crest

39
Q

what does P3 serve as in all species?

A

extensor process

40
Q

what does P3 serve as in equines?

A

flexor tubercle/surface (solar foramina and solar canal in equine)

41
Q

describe digit 1 in canines

A

only has proximal and distal phalanx (P1 and P3)

42
Q

how many digits do canines have?

43
Q

how many digits do equines have?

A

3rd digit only

44
Q

describe the digits of bovines (3)

A
  1. 3 and 4 form claws
  2. 2 and 5 are present in the form of dew claws
  3. no digit 1
45
Q

describe the sesamoids of canines (2)

A
  1. dorsal: 5 dorsal sesamoids (sesamoid 1 is in abductor digit 1 longus)
  2. palmar: two proximal sesamoids each in digits 2-5 (fetlock joint) and 1 proximal sesamoid in digit 1
46
Q

describe the equine sesamoids

A

palmar: two proximal sesamoids (fetlock joint) and distal sesamoid (coffin joint)

47
Q

describe bovine sesamoid digits

A

same as equine but times 2 because bovines have two digits (3 and 4)

48
Q

are there any major/collateral ligaments above the shoulder joint in equines?

49
Q

list the 6 joints of the equine, canine, and bovine forelimb from top to bottom

A
  1. shoulder
  2. elbow
  3. carpus (knee)
  4. metacarpophalangeal (fetlock)
  5. proximal interphalangeal (pastern)
  6. distal interphalangeal (coffin)
50
Q

describe the 2 fetlock joints of bovines

A

share a common joint capsule allowing infection of injected material to pass freely from one joint to the other; this is of significance when considering amputation of one claw
