Quadriceps (x4) and the Sartorius

32
Q

34
Q

These muscles act to adduct the hindlimb. (x4)

A

Gracilis, Adductor, Pectineus, External obturator.

35
Q

These muscles act the abduct the hindlimb. (x3)

A

Superficial, middle and deep Gluteal muscles

36
Q

These muscles act to retract the limb and flexthe stifle. (x3)

A

Biceps femoris, Semitendinosus, Semimembranosus.

37
Q

The lumbosacral plexus is made up of the ventral branches of which spinal nerves?

A

L5, L6, L7, S1, S2

38
Q

Name the nerves which supply the hindlimb from the lumbosacral plexus. (x4 + branches)

A

Gluteal (cranial and caudal), Obturator, Femoral, Sciatic (tibial and fibular (peroneal))

39
Q

Outline the characteristic features of the wing of ilium between the major domestic species.

A

Dog and pig - vertical orientation, flat or convex cranial marginHorse and ruminant - horizontal orientation, concave cranial margin

40
Q

This species of animal has a trifid Tuber Ischium.What is meant by this?

A

Cows and to a lesser extent sheep.Trifid in this sense means that the tuber ischium is made up of three projections.

41
Q

Thesepalpable land mark is usually obvious in the cow but variably distinct on palpation of the equine rump.

A

Tuber sacrale, tuber coxae and tuber ischium

42
Q

How do the number of fused sacral vertebrae differ between the major domestic species?

A
  • Horse, cow and goat - 5
  • Pig and sheep - 4
  • Dog - 3
43
Q

True or false.The dorsal spinous processes within the SI joint are fused within the horse.How does the cow differ?

A

False, they remain separate.The cows dorsal spinous processes become fused with age.

44
Q

In what situation does the SI joint of the domestic species show uncharacteristic movement for a fibrous joint?

A

At parturition

45
Q

How does this Sacrotuberous ligament of the dog differ between that of the cow/horse? (Hint - Origin and insertion)Which species does NOT posess this ligament?

A

Dog - a single fibrous band

  • S3 to tuber ischium Cow/ Horse - a fibrous sheet
  • Sacrum to dorsal aspect of ilium/ ischium
  • The cat does not have a sacrotuberous ligament
46
Q

Which hormone acts to soften pelvic ligaments at parturition?Which ligaments does it affect and how does it alter the internal anatomy?

A
  • Relaxin Ligaments:
  • Sacroiliac joing
  • Broad ligament
  • Pelvic - ST
  • Increases pelvic aperture and decreases pelvic angle
47
Q

Parturition in the cow can predispose which hindlimb nerve to damage?What route does this nerve take in the leg and which muscles does it innervate?

A

Obturator nerve

  • due to oversized calves
  • down cows
  • This nerve passes through the obturator foramen to from the LS plexus and runs along the medial thigh
  • It innervates the adductor muscles (Hint GAPE)
48
Q

Which ligament of the hip is present in the horse but neither the cow nor the dog?Where does this ligament originate from?

A

The accessory ligament of the femoral head.The accessory ligament arises from the tendon of insertion of therectus abdominismuscle and to a lesser extentexternal abdominal obliquemuscle as part of theprepubic tendonand inserts on the fovea.

49
Q

True or false.The cow has an extra acetabular notch.

A

True

50
Q

Which trochlear ridge of the distal femur is bigger in the cow? Medial or lateral?

A

Medial

51
Q

The superficial gluteal muscle of the cow is fused with which other rump muscle?What is the resulting structure called?

A

Superficial gluteal + Biceps femoris = Gluteobiceps

52
