Exam 3 Thoracic Limb Week 8 Flashcards
stratum basale cellls must remain attached to ________ that rests on the dermis (corium)
basement membrane
Primary epidermal laminae slide past stationary (non-keratinized) cells of the secondary epidermal laminae how?
by breaking and reforming desmosomes between cells of primary laminae and stationary cells of secondary epidermal laminae
what is the white zone
junction between sole and wall
what does the white zone include
innermost part of stratum medium
distal ends of primary laminae of stratum internum
pigemented horn produced by stratumbasale over terminal papillae located at distal end of laminar dermis (dermal laminae)
stratum basale produces _____ to fill in between the primary epidermal laminae (of the stratum internum)
tubular and intertubular horn
what attaches dermis to bone, hoof cartilages, and tendons
subcutis (hypodermis)
subcutis is thickened in what two areas
coronary cushion and digital cushion
coronary cushion
deep to coronary dermis
coronary dermis is highly _____
elastic
coronary dermis and cushion fill the _____
coronary groove of hoof
coronary cushion contains ____
venous plexus
digital cushion
subcutis deep to palmar part of hoof capsule
digital cushion is composed of
CCT, elastic fibers, and adpiose tissue
bulbs of cushion underly what
bulbs of heel
digital cushion contains what
modified sweat glands and the fat-rich secretions help keep frog pliable
the duct pass through the ______
dermis of the frog
digital cushion assists with
shock absorption and venous return
blood supply to the equine hoof is from branches of
the medial and lateral digital arteries
the medial and lateral digital arteries supply what
all regions of dermis and coronary and digital cushions
do veins parallel the arteries in the foot
no
veins form interconnected networks especially in the
coronary band (coronary plexus), laminar dermis (dorsal plexus), and palmar aspect of the hoof (palmar plexus)
when the hoof impacts the ground, musch of concussive force dissipated due to
hoof flexibility
Load on PIII goes to
interdigitating epidermal and dermal laminae then to hoof wall
heels of hoof spread
apart
force on navicular bone preses into
deep digital flexor m. tendon
frog and digital cushion are
compressed
frog presses on ____ to help spread heels
bars and sole
pressure on foot compresses
venous plexuses and pumps blood from plexuses on both sides of collateral cartilages into medial and lateral palmar digital veins, which have valves
what occurs to the hoof commonly with aging
progressive calcification; called “sidebone”; causes lameness
more weight is born on the _____ limbs
thoracic (55-66%)
therefore, thoraic limb hoof is a little _____ and more rounded in outline
wider
laminitis
epidermlaminae separate from dermal laminae, which are attached to the distal phalanx
breakdown of the ______ occurs in laminitis
basement membrane and hemidesmosomes of stratum basale associated with basement membrane
tension from the deep digital flexor displaces _______ such that it can peneterate through the sole of the hoof capsule
distal phalanx
_____ supports cranial end of body at medial surface of the scapula
serratus ventralis m.
force passes what
caudal to shoulder
through elbow joint
through (or cranial to) carpus
cranial to fetlock and pastern
without support what happens to shoulder
shoulder and elbow would flex
when horses rest while standing, weight is carried by
tendons, ligaments, and deep fascia that constitue the passive stay apparatus; thus reducing energy expenditure in the standing horse
tendon of _______ keeps shoulder joint from flexing (supraglenoid tubercle to radial tuberosity)
biceps brachii m. (internal)
intermediate tubercle may help do what
lock the shoulder joint
