Where does the C1 nerve pass through
lateral vertebral foramen on C1
what passes through the transverse foramen on C2-C6
arteries and veins
starts as cartilage when young and then closes/calcifies. Also called the physis or growth plate
epiphyseal plate
beside the growth plate, funnel shaped. there are ones on the proximal and distal end of bone
metaphysis
between the growth plate, the shaft of the bone
diaphysis
which cervical-vertebrae has the tallest spinous process
C7
which vertebrae has the biggest transverse process
C6
What is special about C7
C7 does not have a transverse foramen
Joint in which bones are united by dense connective tissue, and example
fibrous joint, sutures of skull
joint in which bones are united by cartilage, and example
cartlaginous joint, intervertebral discs, between skull and hyoid apparatus

A dog has presented to you that can extend its elbow joint and bear weight, however, only on the dorsal aspect of its manus. When you test the dorsal manus for sensation, the dog clearly has feeling in its skin. What specific nerve damage might explain this presentation?
Deep branch of radial nerve on surface of brachialis muscle
What nerve innervates cutaneous trunci?
lateral thoracic
what reflex is cutaneous trunci responsible for?
panniculus reflex
Upon loss of ulnar nerve, what muscles can compensate?
median nerve flexors: SDF, DDF (humeral and radial head), flexor carpi radialis
