Q

What do the MSCs monitor?

A

Stretch

17
Q

Why is it important for us to use a high velocity for the manipulation?

A

To stimulate the golgi tendon organs (GTO)

18
Q

Where are GTOs (golgi tendon organs) located?

A

At the musculotendinous junction

19
Q

T/F: One way to increase the stability is to move the center of gravity lower.

A

TRUE

20
Q

What is the stretch shortening cycle?

A

Eccentric loading of the muscle just prior to concentric action to increase the force produced.

21
Q

C3 has the _____ vertebral body and the _____ dorsal spinous process.

A

Longest; shortest

22
Q

Why do some movements begin with a counter-movement?

A

To generate more force

23
Q

Which muscle action generates the most force?

A

Eccentric

24
Q

What enables the muscle spindle cell to be effective at all muscle lengths?

A

The gamma motor neuron or gamma gain

25
Q

What is the effect of a slow, prolonged stretch on a muscle via the Ia afferents?

A

It resets the muscle to a new longer length

26
Q

You are presented with a patient that is reluctant to bend its neck to the left and has very tense muscles in the lower cervical region. It is also mildly ataxic. The owner says that it fell while running outside. What should you do?

A) Perform spinal manipulation immediately
B) Recommend radiographs but go forward with spinal manipulation if the O declines
C) Pursue further diagnostics which may include radiographs of the neck

A

C: Pursue further diagnostics which may include radiographs of the neck

27
Q

Why is it important for an animal to stand with its feet evenly under its body i.e. square?

A

It is the most energy efficient and balanced.

28
Q

What is the main goal of proprioceptive systems?

A

To keep the animal upright

29
Q

The wings of the atlas are angled (cranially/caudally)?

A

Caudally

30
Q

When an animal jumps, just before take off it flexes the joints of the hind limbs (uses a counter-movement). Why do they use a counter-movement?

A

To increase the force generated by the hind limbs

31
Q

Why is prolonged stretching contraindicated before exercise?

A

It resets the muscle spindle cells to a longer length and creates joint laxity

32
Q

When should a lameness exam include a VMM exam?

A

Always

33
Q

How many carpal bones are there?

A

7

34
Q

Which group of muscles originate on the lateral epicondyle of the humerus?

A

Carpal extensors

35
Q

The muscles that extend the elbow and extend the carpus are innervated by which nerve?

A

Radial

36
Q

T/F: The triceps long head, latissimus dorsi, and deltoid are all shoulder extensors.

A

FALSE–shoulder flexors

37
Q

The temporalis muscle originates on the _____ and inserts on the _____.

A

Temporal fossa; coronoid process
