Hindlimb and Pelvis Flashcards
order of hindlimb
pelvis, femur, tibia/fibula, tarsus, metatarsus, phalanges
joint between pelvis and femur
hip joint
crest of pelvis
illiac crest
3 main bones of pelvis
ilium, pubis, ischium
more cranial bone of pelvis
pubis
caudal bone of pelvis
ischium
where hamstrings attach to pelvis
ischium tuberosity
where femur head articulates with pelvis
acetabulum
obturator nerve and artery go through here
obturator furamen
ligament between sacrum and ischium
sacrotuberous ligament
midline symphysis of pelvis
pelvis symphysis
the head of the femur articulates with the
acetabulum
where the abductors of hips attach
greater trochanter
where iliopsoas attaches (helps you lift your leg)
lesser trochanter
where superficial gluteal muscle attaches
third trochanter
parts of femur that sit on tibia
medial and lateral condyle
where patella rests
patellar surface
type of joint the hip joint is
ball and socket
stifle type of joint
hinge joint
ligaments that hold the knee in place and make it stable
lateral and collateral ligament
ligament essential for extension of the stifle
patellar ligament
pad that femur sits on
meniscus
between the femur and tibia, 2 ligaments cross each other that are important for flexion and extension
cranial and caudal cruciate ligaments
when the cranial cruciate ligament is tight and the caudal cruciate ligament is loose….
extension is occur and cranial cruciate ligament is preventing overextension through tightening
in a horse, when the stifle is flexed, so is the
hock, because of the suspensory ligaments
apparatus that locks the knee in place in horses
stay apparatus
part of the tibia where the patellar ligament attaches
tibial tuberosity
where extension is permitted in the tibia
extensor groove
quadriceps attach to this ligament
patellar ligament
calf muscle attach to this part of the tarsus
calcaneus
what makes the tarsometatarsal joint
trochlea of the tarsus
metatarsals 2 and 4 in the horse
splint bones
what are the metatarsals in the goat
3 and 4
