Hindlimb Flashcards
pelvic girdle
- enclose the pelvic cavity
- consists:
- R/L hip bones
- sacrum
- first few caudal vertebrae
what bone makes up the pelvis?
pelvic girdle
which bone of the pelvis is most cranial? most caudal?
- cranial: ilium
- caudal: ischium
difference between the tuber coxae and the tuber sacrale?
- tuber coxae: palpable prominence on the lateral wing
- tuber sacrale: mediodorsal of the wing, where the ilium articulates with the sacrum
- What is the pin bone in the ox?
ischiatic tuberosity
sacrotuberous ligament
connective tissue extending from the sacrum and first caudal vertebrae to the ischiatic tuberosity
- Which animals have the sacrosciatic ligament?
- horse & ox is very prominent
- NOT present in CAT
the important structures of the spinal and pelvic bones
- pelvic girdle
- ileum
- ischium
- hip bone
- pubis
- acetabulum
is the trochlea of the femur is a cranial or caudal structure
cranial
difference between the femoral condyles and epicondyles?
- femoral condyles: joining of one bone to another
- epicondyles: attachments of ligaments and tendons to the bone
Does the coxofemoral joint have collateral ligaments? What about the stifle joint?
- yes
- the stifle joint has both medial/lateral collateral ligaments
- What is the largest sesamoid bone of the body? What muscle tendon is it located in?
- patella
- extensor muscles (quadriceps)
what are the two joints that comprise the stifle joint
- femoropatellar
- femorotibial
which meniscus is fused with its corresponding collateral ligament?
medial meniscus
function of each cruciate ligament. What bone is it named for its attachment to?
- cranial cruciate ligament: prevents cranial movement of the tibia in relationship to the femur
- caudal cruciate ligament: prevents caudal movement of tibia
- femur & tibia
structure of the carnivore tarsus
the hock
is the talus is medial or lateral?
medial
is the calcaneus is medial or lateral?
lateral
are these structures of the femur are medial or lateral: head, greater trochanter, lesser trochanter?
- head- medial
- greater trochanter- lateral
- lesser trochanter- medial
which is medial/lateral between the tibia and the fibula?
- tibia- medial
- fibula- lateral
Know the species differences in the development of the fibula?
- ruminants: head of the fibula is fused to the tibia
- most of the body fails to develop; proximal & distal fibula are NOT connected
- NO space
