Final Exam Flashcards


What’s in blue? What is the significance proximity to the heart?

Phrenic nerve. Diaphragmatic flutter. C= caudal vena cava
What is this showing?

Mainly– how the cervicothoracic ganglion is connected via the middle cervical ganglion. And how the vago sympathetic trunk connects… and where the vagus relates to that!

What nerves emerge from the ilopsoas m.?
Femoral n. and saphenous n.

Name the bones of the pes above the metatarsals and numbering of the metatarsals
From medial to lateral up high: Talus– Calcaneus
From medial to lateral middle: Centrale and IV (4th tarsus)
From medial to lateral down low: II, III, IV tarsal bones
If you look at the medial view- you can see TINY metatarsal I, then II slightly bigger, & III!

Medial Muscles of the leg- name them. What nerve?
Obturator nerve.

Three branches of the saphenous?
Nerves on the plantar surface of the pes?

Sciatic–> common peroneal n, tibial n., and caudal cutaneous crural n.
** Medial plantar n. & lateral plantar n.


Tibiotarsal, intertarsal proximal and distal, tarsometarsal

Wing of the hilium
Head of the femur
Sacrotuberus ligament

What is the blue line?

Long digital extensor



Medial Femoropatellar & patellar ligament
What is in the top left corner of a ventrodorsal radiograph? What’s right below that?
Right auricle
Right ventricle

What part of the heart is touching the sternum in the left lateral view of the thoracic cavity?
Right ventricle



Name the parts




Name the parts


What are two ligaments of the femur and acetabulum?
Transverse acetabular ligament
Liagment of the head of the femur

What innervates the gluteal muscles? Where are they?
Gluteal mm.- lateral pelvis- gluteal nn. (sciatic n.)
Quadriceps mm.- cranial thigh- femoral n.
Hamstring mm- caudal/ lateral thigh- sciatic n.
Adductor mm.- medial thigh- obturator n.
Tarsal flexor/ digital extensor- craniolateral crus- peroneal n (sciatic n.)
Tarsal extensor/ digital flexor mm.- caudal crus- tibial n (sciatic n.)

What are the two arrows?





Deep circumflex iliac a. and v.

big arrows?

Superifical circumflex iliac a.
*Under the tensor fascia lata m.

What is the artery and vein?

Distal caudal femoral artery and vein






























What muscle is reflected too?




What is the large arrow? And what is the blue box?

Large arrow= Articularis coxae m.





What nerve and what vessels?

Lateral cutaneous femoral n. with deep circumflex iliac vessels (a and v)
What nerve?

Femoral nerve



What are the four parts to the quadriceps? What are the other green arrows?

Vastus lateralis m, vastus intermedius m, vastus medialis m, rectus femoris m

What are the vessels relating to the vascular lacuna?
Femoral artery and vein and saphenous vessels (superficial)
What supplies the dorsal, medial, caudal rump and upper thigh?
Internal iliac artery
What supplies the medial and caudal upper thigh?
External iliac a.–> deep femoral a.
What supplies the medial, cranial, and lateral thigh and rest of limb?
External iliac a. –> femoral a.
What supplies the medial skin and thigh muscles?
Femoral artery–> sphenous artery
What supplies the craniolateral crus?
Cranial tibial artery
What is the main venous drainage?
Lateral saphenous vein
What is in red?

Piriformis m.
What makes up the iliopsoas m.?

Psoas major and iliacus mm.
Collecting blood from a dog via the femoral artery– what are the antatomical structures found in the femoral triangle? What muscles surround it?
* skin, femoral a. and v., saphenous n., proximal caudal femoral a. and v.
Lateral edge of the abdominal mm, cranial border of pectineus m., caudal border of sartorius m.
What is the vascular lacuna?
The femoral a. and v. can be seen in the femoral triangle– vessels enter the triangle by exiting the abdomen through a vascular lacuna. Femoral vessels give off proximal caudal femoral vessels which supply the adductor and gracilis muscles. External pudendal vessels emerging from the inguinal canal are evident


Lateral saphenous vein with caudal and cranial branches






the last two are vessels








What fascia covers the vastus lateralis?

What is this?

Digital extensor retinaculum
What are the two green arrows?












Thoracotomy- what are the landmarks?
* landmarks- 4th intercostal space, long head of the triceps brachii m., costochondral junction of the 3rd, 4th rib, and 5th
- palpate 4th and 5th ribs
- Incise skin in the 4th intercostal space
- cut through muscles (picture)

Cardiac puncture
3rd intercostal space
- palpate 3rd rib
- 4th rib
- 3rd and 4th ribs
- 3rd intercostal space
- insert needle and draw blood

































Where is serratus dorsalis caudalis? And cranialis?






















What is the most superficial vein on the forelimb?
Cephalic vein




Superificial cervical lymph node




Bones of the carpus forelimb

What are the three parts of the rhomboideus m?
capitis (not shown), cervicis, thoracis

What is the muscle the cervical thoracic lymph node is near?



Most cranial forelimb muscle– most caudal?
Extensor carpi radialis m.
Flexor carpi ulnaris m.
