A

shoulder joint

33
Q

what is the articulation between the distal portion of the humerus and the proximal portion of the radius and ulna?

A

elbow joint

34
Q

what are the three levels to the carpal joints?

A

carpal —> metacarpal —-> first phalanx (forms joint)

35
Q

what are the phalangeal joints between?

A

proximal and middle, middle and distal phalanges

36
Q

what is the phalangeal joint between in horses and what is it called?

A

38
Q

what is the joint between the middle and distal phalanx (coffin bone)?

A

coffin joint

39
Q

describe the brachial plexus

A

where the muscles of the forelimb are innervated by the nerves
- formed by the last 3 cervical and first two thoracic spinal segments

40
Q

what do the lateral group of muscles (acting on shoulder joint) include and what nerve are they innervated by?

A

supra and infraspinatus
- suprascapular nerve

41
Q

what muscle (acting on shoulder joint) is part of the medial group and what nerve is it innervated by?

A

subscapularis
- suprascapular nerve

42
Q

what muscles (acting on shoulder joint) are part of the caudal group and nerve are they innervated by?

A

deltoideus, tere major, and teres minor
- axillary nerve

43
Q

what kind of muscles act on the elbow?

A

flexors and extensors

44
Q

what do the extensors do (elbow joint), what muscles are included, and what nerve are the muscles innervated by?

A

fill the area between caudal aspects of the scapula and humerus
- triceps, tensor fasciae antebrachii and anconeus
- radial nerve

45
Q

what are the primary flexors of the elbow joint and what nerve are they innervated by?

A

biceps brachii and brachialis
- musculocutaneous nerve

46
Q

The extensors of the carpus and digits typically arise from the lateral epicondyle of the humerus and include what?

A

extensor carpi radialis
common digital extensor
lateral digital extensor.

47
Q

what nerve are the extensors of the carpus and digits innervated by?

A

radial nerve

48
Q

action of which extensors (carpus and digits) do not conform to extension?

A

extensor carpi ulnaris OR the ulnaris lateralis

49
Q

The flexors of the carpus and digits, typically, arise from the medial epicondyle of the humerus and include what?

A

flexor carpi ulnarlis
flexor carpi radialis
superficial digital flexor
deep digital flexor

50
Q

what nerves are the flexors of the carpus and digits innervated by?

A

median and ulnar nerves

51
Q

what muscles provide support to the metacarpophalangeal joints?

A

interosseous muscles

52
Q

what provides the major blood supply to the forelimb?

A

axillary artery

53
Q

in the brachial region, what is the axillary artery called?

A

brachial artery

54
Q

what provides most of the blood supply to the distal end of the limbs and is the main trunk of the brachial artery?

A

median artery

55
Q

describe how veins work

A

drain the blood from the tissues in the limbs and run in the opposite direction

56
Q

describe the flow of veins from distal to proximal

A

cephalic –> axillary –> subclavian and cranial vena cava –> atrium of heart

57
Q

The horses have the ability to stand on their legs for a long time and they are endowed with special features to do this. When horses stand, tendons, ligaments and fascial bands in the forelimb help bear most of the weight. Because of this, the horses spare most of the muscles and can stand for prolonged periods of time spending very little energy. What is the feature that enables them to do this?

A

passive stay apparatus

58
Q

the forelimb bone supports approximately __% of the body weight in equine

A

60

59
Q

what muscles prevent that collapse of the forelimb in horses?

A

internal tendon of the biceps
long tendon of biceps (lacertus fibrosus)
suspensory apparatus
ligaments
distal ends of superficial and deep digital flexors tendons
