What is responsible for making synovial fluid?
synovial membrane
What is a diarthrodial joint?
More than one joint pouch per synovial joint
What is the fibrous joint capsule?
the heavier fibrous tissue that protects the synovial membrane and surrounds the joint
What is the extra ligament of the equine hip and where does it run? What is its purpose?
accessory ligament of the hip
runs from prepubic tendon to the head of the femur
to hold the head of the femur in the acetabulum
What are the caudal mucles of the crus?
poplliteus, SDF, gastroc, DDF
What ligament anchors the calcaneon tendon?
plantar ligament
What ligament is responsible for the “snap” function of the tarsus?
medial collateral
What ligaments are important joint stabilizers when the leg is in flight? (tarsus)
collateral ligaments
Where do the medial and lateral extensor tendons of the suspensory ligament attach?
to the extensor tendon
Which vessels and nerves are named “metatarsal + space number”?
DEEP vessels and nerves of the metatarsus
Which vessels and nerves are named “common digital +space number”?
SUPERFICIAL vessels and nerves of the metatarsus
Medial plantar is equivalent of what in the dog?
plantar common digital II
Lateral plantar is equivalent of what in the dog?
plantar common digital III
What does the internal iliac artery divide into?
caudal gluteal and internal pudendal arteries
Where does the cranial gluteal artery orginate?
caudal gluteal artery
Where does the obturaor artery orginate?
cranial gluteal artery
The major pathway to the distal limb begins with the ______ artery and terminates with the _______ artery.
external iliac; digital
What is the route of arterial blood supply to the distal limb?
external iliac-femoral-popliteal-cranial tibial-dorsal pedal- dorsal metatarsal III- digital arteries
What is the largest artery is the tarsus?
dorsal metatarsal artery III
What artery can be used to take a pulse in the metatarsus?
dorsal metatarsal (also used to measure blood pressure)
Where does the dorsal metatarsal III artery bifurcate?
It crosses deep to splint bone to become plantar and then bifurcates into digital arteries.
What are the divisions of the sciatic nerve?
common peroneal and tibial
What are the divisions of the common peroneal nerve?
superficial and deep branches
What are the branches of the tibial nerve?
medial and lateral plantar nerves
