A

Between the toes

33

A

Occurs across a limb, often refers to lacerations or bone fractures

34
Q

Longitudinal

A

Occurs along the length of a limb or bone

35

A

Occurring at an angle, often applied to radiographs

36
Q

Thoracic Limb Joints

A

Shoulder, elbow, carpal

37
Q

Thoracic Limb Bones

A

Scapula, humerus, radius/ulna, metacarpals, phalanges

38
Q

Pelvic Limb Joints

A

Coxofemoral, stifle, tarsus

39
Q

Pelvic Limb Bones

A

Femur, tibia/fibula, metatarsals, phalanges

40
Q

Long Bones

A

Femur, tibia/fibula, humerus, radius/ulna

41
Q

Flat Bones

A

Scapula, pelvis, skull

42
Q

Small Bones

A

Metacarpals, metatarsals, phalanges

43
Q

Irregular bones

A

Vertebrae

44
Q

Sesamoid Bones

A
  • Found along ligaments and tendons
  • Sit by themselves
  • ex. Patella
45
Q

Thoracic Limb

A
  • only connected to body via muscles, tendons and ligaments
  • no joint connecting it to the body
  • scapula->humerus->radius/ulna->metacarpals->phalanges
46
Q

Pelvic Limb

A
  • connected to body through coxofemoral joint
  • head of femur sits in acetabulum (pelvic socket) and is held in place by the round ligament
  • femur->tibia/fibula->metatarsals->phalanges
47
Q

Fibrous Joints

A
  • hold bones together but do not allow movement

- ex. Joints holding skull together

48
Q

Cartilaginous Joints

A
  • allow minimal movement, rocking motion

- ex. Joints between vertebrae

49
Q

Synovial joint

A
  • lots of free movement
  • 2 types of movement: flexion and extension/adduction and abduction
  • Abduct (take away from the body)
  • Adduct (add to the body)
