Exam 3 Written (Cross) Flashcards
Extrinsic vs. Intrinsic Mm
extrinsic: attach forelimb to trunk
intrinsic: attach only within limb
What is Brachial Plexus Avulsion
excessive pulling on thoracic limb
disrupts nerves originating from plexus
How does brachial plexus avulsion present?
cannot extend muscle
“dangling” limb
Elbow Dysplasia
instability or detachment of anconeal process –> inflammation / OA
What patients have elbow dysplasia most commonly?
large breed dogs
Two Types of Angular Limb Deformities
Carpal valgus
Carpal varus
Carpal valgus
angulation away from midline
Carpal varus
angulation toward midline
Orthogonal Views
see 3D structure in 2D, need several views for full pic
Radiopacities (in order)
Air
Fat
Water/soft tissue
Bone
Metal
Is metal radiolucent or radiopaque?
And is it black or white?
radiopaque
white
Summation
bone over bone = more radiopaque
Conus Arteriosus
cone-shaped part of right ventricle that leads to pulmonary trunk
Foramen Ovale
opening in fetal heart between atria | bypasses lungs
What occurs if foramen ovale doesn’t close after birth?
less oxygenated blood to aorta = growth/exercise problems
Ligamentum Arteriosum
CT remnant of ductus arteriosus in adult
Which valve = tricuspid? Which is bicuspid?
tricuspid = right AV
bicuspid = left AV
What are the 3 cusps of right AV valve?
parietal
septal
angular
What are the 2 cusps of the left AV valve?
parietal + septal
How many valvules are in the pulmonary & aortic valves?
3 semilunar valvules
Define non-congruent joint
two opposing joints not contouring each other
What is an example of a non-congruent joint in pelvic limb?
stifle (femoral condyles articulate with tibial condyles)
What is present to compensate for the non-congruent joint of the stifle?
menisci
Triceps Surae
soleus M + gastrocnemius M in cat
