  • lat plantar nerve ALSO goes into lat plantar metatarsal nerve (which goes into lat dorsal digital nerve ) AND medial plantar metatarsal nerve which also goes into med dorsal digital nerve
39
Q

hind has both _____ nerves

A

plantar and dorsal

40
Q

The arrangement of the digital vessels is essentially identical in the hind
limb to that in the front limb However, the hind limb digital vessels have more

A

collateral circulation contributing to their formation than in the forelimb

41

The arrangement of the plantar digital nerves is essentially identical to that of the palmar digital nerves. BUT the hind limb also has

A

dorsal digital nerves
Important when doing nerve blocks involving the hind limb
