Q

Where are the interosseus muscles located in the dog?

What is its function?

A

(Analogous to the suspensory ligament in the horse)
4 in the dog. Each arises from the caudal, proximal end of the metacarpal bones, and divides in 2 as they run distally, to insert on a proximal sesamoid
Supports the caudal aspect of the metacarpophalangeal joint

17
Q

The brachial plexus supplies which muscles?

A

All intrinsic forelimb muscles

Selected extrinsic muscles: pectorals, latissimus dorsi, serratus ventralis

18
Q

Which nerves come off the brachial plexus?

A 
Brachiocephalic nerve
Suprascapular nerve
Subscapular nerve
Musculocutaneous nerve
Superficial (or cranial) pectoral nerve
Axillary nerve
Radial nerve
Thoracodorsal
Median nerve
Ulnaer nerve
Deep (or caudal) pectoral nerve
19
Q

Which 2 vessels supply most of the blood to the foot?

A

Caudal interosseus artery (branch of common interosseus which is final branch of brachial artery), along with the main continuation of the median artery

20
Q

Where does the cephalic vein run?

A

Up the cranial aspect of the limb. Deep to brachiocephalicus. Joind the jugular vein

21
Q

What is the origin, insertion, action and innervation of extensor carpi radialis?

A

O=lateral supracondylar crest of humerus
I=metacarpals 2 and 3 (dorsal surface)
A=extends the carpus
In=Radial nerve

22
Q

What is the origin, insertion, action and innervation of common digital extensor?

A

O=lateral epicondyle of humerus
I=distal phalanx of digits 2-5
A=extends the carpus and digits 2-5
In=radial nerve

23
Q

What is the origin, insertion, action and innervation of the lateral difital extensor?

A

O=lateral epicondyle of humerus
I=all phalanges of digits 3-5 (mainly distal phalanx)
A=extends the carpus and digits 3-5
In=radial nerve

24
Q

What is the origin, insertion, action and innervation of ulnaris lateralis?

A

O=lateral epicondyle of humerus
I=lateral aspect of metacarpal 5, and accessory carpal bone
A=abduct the manus, flex the carpal joint, support carpus when extended
In=radial nerve

25
Q

Where is the abductor pollicis longus located?

A

Lies in the groove between radius and ulna

26
Q

What is the origin, insertion, action and innervation of abductor pollicis (digiti I) longus ?

A

O=lateral border and cranial surface of ulna, and interosseous membrane
I=proximal end of metacarpal 1
A=abduct the first digit, extend the carpal joints
In=radial nerve

27
Q

What is the origin, insertion, action and innervation of flexor carpi ulnaris?

A

O=ulnar head: olecranon of ulna (smaller)
humeral head: medial epicondyle of humerus (larger)
I=accessory carpal bone
A=flex the carpus
In=ulnar nerve

28
Q

What is the origin, insertion, action and innervation of flexor carpi radialis?

A

O=medial epicondyle of humerus, medial border of radius
I=palmar aspect of metacarpals 2 and 3
A=flex the carpus
In=median nerve

29
Q

What is the origin, insertion, action and innervation of the superficial digital flexor muscle?

A

O=medial epicondyle of humerus
I=palmar aspect of middle phalanx of digits 2-5
A=flex the carpal, metacarpophalangeal and proximal interphalangeal joints of digits 2-5
In=median nerve

30
Q

What is the origin, insertion, action and innervation of the deep digital flexor?

A 
O=humeral head (biggest): medial epicondyle of humerus
radial head (smallest): medial border of radius
ulnar head: caudal border of ulna
I=palmar surface of distal phalanx, digits 1-5
A=flex the carpal, metacarpophalangeal, proximal and distal interphalangeal joints of the digits
In=median and ulnar nerves
31
Q

Where does pronator quadratus lie?

A

Fills the interosseous space between the ulna and radius

32
Q

What passes through the carpal canal in a dog and cat?

What is the carpal canal formed by?

A

Median and ulnar nerves
DDFT
Blood vessels and nerves

Laterally: accessory carpal bone
Dorsally: fibrocartilagenous reinforcement of carpal joint capsule
Palmar: flexor retinaculum

33
Q

What passes through the carpal canal in the horse?

What about ruminants and pigs?

A

Horse: Both DDFT and SDFT

Ruminants and pigs: DDFT and half of SDFT (splits)

34
Q

What is the main route of blood supply to the forelimb?

A

Subclavian artery becomes axillary artery, becomes brachial artery at the teres major tuberosity, gives off common interosseous (which branches into cranial and caudal interosseous), brachial artery becomes median artery, gives off ulnar and radial branches
