Final (Questionnaire questions) Flashcards
Describe the outer conformation of a bone
What is a nutrient foramen?
a small opening in the shaft of a long bone that allows blood vessels to pass through and deliver nutrients and oxygen to the bone
Describe the concepts of agonist and antagonist muscle
Antagonist: Muscle(s) that oppose the agonist muscles action.
Agonist: Muscle(s) that produces an action.
In this group the main muscle can be named as primer mover.
Describe the concepts of a synergist muscle and fixator
Synergist: Helper muscle(s) of the agonist muscles.
Fixator: Muscle(s) that “fix” a joint preventing the movement.
Name the bony structures/joints that can be palpated in the thoracic limb (10)
-Humeral joint
-Greater tubercle of the humerus(point of shoulder)
-Acromion and spine of scapula
-Deltoid tuberosity
-lesser tubercle of the humerus
-Cubital joint
-coronoid process of the ulna
-head of radius
-olecranon
-medial styloid process of radius/lateral styloid of ulna
-medial/lateral epicondyles of humerus
-Metacarpophalangeal, proximal interphalangeal and distal interphalangeal joint
Understand where the extensors and flexor muscles for the shoulder joints are located
flex: teres minor, teres major, deltoideus, long head of tricep
extend: supraspinatus, bicep brachii
Describe the actions and position of the muscles and tendons in the antebrachium and manus
look at notes–thats alot to write
Understand the concepts of axial and abaxial
axial: all surfaces point towards the axial
abaxial: away from axis
Explain the concept of center of ossification and apply it in different bones as coxal, femur
primary vs. secondary
Primary center of ossification:
Before birth, located in the diaphysis
Secondary: After birth, located in epiphysis and large eminences
Describe the bones that form the carpus
In the tarsus put special attention in structures that are close related with flexor tendons
past study guide mentions calcanean tuber
Name the bones using an Xray of the manus and the pes
use Illinois x-rays
Describe a given vertebra, indicating the names of the foramina that you can find in different vertebral segment: cervical
Lateral vertebral foramen and transverse foramen of the ATLAS (c1)
transverse foramen on C2-C6
Describe some important differences in the bones of dogs and cats in the thoracic limb
6 main differences
humerus of cat : supracondylar foramen
scapula of cat: hamate and suprahamate process to make the acromion & larger coracoid process
clavicle present (floating)
radius: articular circumference more extensive
digits: distal phalax when claw is retracted is axial or abaxial to middle phalanx
What is the position of the valves in the heart during systole and diastole?
systole: Mitral and Tricuspid are closed
Aortic and Pulmonary valves open
diastole:Mitral and Tricuspid are open
Aortic and Pulmonary valves closed
Name the large arterial and venous vessels found in the thorax. Indicate what areas are drained by the different veins.
Exam 2 bible page 10
Name the main branches of the brachial a
- deep brachial a.
- bicipital a.
- collateral ulnar a.
- superficial brachial a.
- transverse cubital a.
- common interosseous a.
Identify the superficial veins in the thoracic limb
omobrachial v.
axillobrachial v.
cephalic v.
medial cubital v.
accessory cephalic v.
Describe the formation of a spinal nerve
Dorsal horn–>Dorsal root–> spinal ganglion
&
Ventral horn–> ventral root
these meet to make a spinal nerve
Differentiate among roots, spinal nerve
and branches and the different fibers that run in each structure
dorsal: sensory or afferent (goes towards CNS); GSA
ventral: motor or efferent (goes towards muscle or gland) GSE
lateral: GVE and GVA
Identify the nerves in charge of flexion and extension of the carpal joints
Flex: median n. and ulnar n.
extend: radial n.
Name the branches of the abdominal aorta in order from cranial to caudal
phrenicoabdominal
celiac
cranial mesenteric
renal
gonad
deep circumflex iliac
external iliac
internal iliac
median sacral
Name the branches of the femoral a
- superficial circumflex iliac
- lateral circumflex iliac
- proximal caudal femoral
- saphenous
- middle caudal femoral
- descending genicular
- distal caudal femoral
Define intercostal nerve
There are thoracic spinal nerves (T3-T12) that splits into dorsal and ventral branch–ventral branches= intercostal nerve
motor and cutaneous sensory
–motor to: external/internal intercostal, transverse thoracic and rectus abdominis
–lateral cutaneous br: skin
–ventral cutaneous br: skin near sternum
