Front Bones 22-32 Flashcards
Neck vertebrae
Cervical vertebrae
Disk sets here
Centrum of body of vertebrae
Spinal cord lives here
Vertebral canal
Dorsal projection
Spinous process
Horizontal projections “wings”
Transverse process of vertebrae
Cranial articulating process
Prezygapophyses
Caudal articulating process
Postzygapophyses
Transverse processes of lumbar vertebrae
Pleuropophysis of lumbar vertebrae
Up and down movement
Atlas - C1
Holes inside atlas within the vertebral canal
Atlantal foramen
Holes in transverse processes
Transverse foramen of the atlas
Rotational movement
Axis - C2
Axis “axle” that the atlas rotates on
Odontoid process or dens
Chest vertebrae
Thoracic vertebrae
Articulation site of ribs
Demifacets of thoracic vertebrae
Abdominal vertebrae (lower back)
Lumbar vertebrae
Floor to the thorax
Sternum
Individual pieces that make up the sternum
Sternebrae
Most cranial sternebra
Manubrium
Most caudal sternebra
Xiphoid process
Protect the thorax in the form of a cage
Ribs
Articulated with the demifacets
Head or capitulum of the rib
Articulates with the transverse processes. Below the head
Tuberculum of the rib
Dogs do not have a collarbone, cats do
Clavical (collarbone)
Shoulder blade
Scapula
Articulates with the head of the humerus
Glenoid fossa
Long ridge down the outside of the scapula
Scapula spine
Bottom process on spine of the scapula
Acromion process - scapula
Bottom/caudal border. Bigger depression for infraspinatus m.
Infraspinous fossa - scapula
Top/cranial border. Smaller depression for supraspinatus m.
Supraspinous fossa
Brachium bone
Humerus
Articulates with the glenoid fossa
Head of the humerus
Muscle attachment site, opposite side of the head
Greater tuberosity of the humerus
Muscle attachment site opposite of the greater tuberosity
Lesser tuberosity of the humerus
Elbow groove where the ulna articulates
Olecranon fossa
Biceps brachii attachment site between tuberosities
Bicipital groove
Inside knob on the distal end of humerus
Medial epicondyle - humerus
Outer knob on distal end of humerus
Lateral epicondyle - humerus
Hole at the end of humerus houses nerves and vessels
Supracondyloid foramen
Antibrachium bone
Radius
Articulates with the humerus
Head of the radius
Antibrachium bone
Ulna
Point of the “elbow”
Olecranon
Trochlea of humerus articulated here
Semilunar notch
“Point” at distal end of ulna
Styloid process - ulna
“Wrist” “front knee” know names of individual bones
Carpals
Large animal carpal bone to the back
Accessory carpal
“Front paw”
Manus
Bones on the top of the foot extending from the carpals
Metacarpals
Bones that make up the digits
Phalanges
