Exam 2 Thoracic Limb Flashcards
point of shoulder in horse
cranial part of the greater tubercle of the humerus
which animal has cranial and caudal parts
idk
id parts of bones
k
what passes through the medial gorrove in the radius
extensor carpi obliquus tendon
what passes through the middle groove in the radius
extensor carpi radialis tendon
what passes through the lateral groove in the radius
common digital extensor tendon
radius and ulna in the horse
fused distally
radius and ulna in the ruminants
shaft of ulna comes all the way down
dorsoscapular ligament is present in the
horse
what is the dorsoscapular ligament
part of the thoracolumbar fascia in the area of the withers
dorsoscapular ligament has several
layers or lamella
dorsoscaplar ligament attaches to
thoracic spins (and supraspinous ligament) at the withers (T3 to T5)
What is the dorsal part of the dorsoscapular ligament composed of
dense, colagenous connective tissue
ventral part of dorsoscapular ligament
thinner and has numerous elastic fibers as well as CCT
Ventral part of dorsoscapular ligament has numerous
lamellae that intersect scapular part of serratus ventralis m.; lamellae attach to deep surface of the scapula
what is the function of the dosroscapular ligament
helps absorb concussive force of the foot as it strikes the ground to reduce upward (dorsal) movement of the scapula
origin of dorsoscapular ligament is next to
supraspinous bursa
infection of supraspnous bursa can lead to
draining tracts that follow lamellae of dorsoscapular ligament; over days to weeks, swelling can occur; can be in multiple locations-swellings rupture and release mucopurulent discharge
how to cure this
difficult to cure; medical management alone is rarely effective- need surgical debridement as well as medical treatment
in the horse, superficial thoracic vein (spur vein) drains into
thoracodorsal vein which drains into the axillary vein
OR the spur vein drains directly into the axillary vein
subclavious attachments in the horse
originates at cranial sternum (1st to 4th costal cartilages) and inserts at aponeurosis over dorsal part of supraspinatus m. and shoulder fascia
what is the innervation of the subclavious
pectoral nn.
what is the action of the subclavious
adduct and retract the thoracic limb; when limb is advanced and fixed, to draw the trunk cranially
supraspinatus attaches to
greater and lesser tubercles of humerus
infraspinatus superficial tendon attaches to
on lateral surface of the greater tubercle of umerus distal to the supraspinatus attachment
what bursa is between the superficial tendon of infraspinatous and the caudal part of the greater tubercle of the humerus
infraspinatus bursa
where does the deep tendon of the infraspinatous
on the caudal part of the greater tubercle
what muscle stabilizes the shoulder joint
supraspinatus m.
what muscle is a lateral stabilizer of the shoulder joint
infraspinatous
what is the medial stabilizer of the shoulder joint
subscapularis m.
triceps brachii m. origin of long head
caudal border of scapula
triceps brachii m. origin of lateral head
deltoid tuberosity, proximal lateral humerus, fascia along lateral brachium
triceps brachii m. origin of medial head
middle third of medial humerus, caudal and distal to teres major tuberosity
insertion of the muscles of the triceps brachii
olecranon
innervation of the tricpes brachii
radial nerve
action of the triceps brachii mm.
extned the elbow jt, long head also flexes the shoulder joint
subtendinous bursa location
between long head of the triceps brachii and the olecranon
subcutaneous bursa location
between the tricpes brachii tendon and the skin “capped elbow”
biceps brachii m. origin
supraglenoid tubercle
biceps brachii m. insertion
radial tuberosity of th eradus, medial collateral ligament of the elbow joint, antebrachial fascia, tendon of extensor carpi radialis via lacertus fibrosus
lacertus fibrosus
tendinous insertion of biceps brachii on the extensor carpi radialis; part of the stay apparatus; poorly developed in ruminant
intertubercular bicipital bursa in horse and ox
separate from the shoulder joint
intertubercular bursa of sheep and goat
a pouch of shoulder joint capsule that extends into the intertubercular groove
review osteology of distal limb
x
what bone is often missing in the horse
first carpal bone
if the first carpal bone is present in the horse, where is it located
embedded in the medial collateral ligament
in the ruminant, what does the accessory carpal bone articulate with
ulnar carpal bone in ruminants only
cannon bone of horse
metacarpal 3
what are splint bones in the horse
metacarpals II and IV
distal ends of the splint bones are called
buttons
long pastern bone
proximal phalanx (PI)
short pastern bone
middle phalanx (PII)
coffin bone
distal phalanx (PIII)
Proximal sesamoid bones in horse
meidal and lateral
distal sesamoid bone o fthe horse is also called
navicular bone
in ruminant, what metacarpals are present
fused metacarpals III and IV
What metacrapal is rudimenatry in ruminant
metacarpal V
vestiges
“dewclaws” digits 2 and 5
what are the weight bearing digits of the ruminant
digits 3 and 4
what proximal sesamoid bones are present in the ruminant
axial and abaxial for each digit

1 per digit
chestnuts
vestigial carpal/tarsal pads in the horse
where are chestnuts located
medial aspect of the thoracic and pelvic limbs
in the thoracic limb, chestnuts are _____ to carpus
proximal
in the pelvic limb, chestnuts are located _____ to the hock
distal
