Lab 10: Hindlimb Flashcards
borders of the femoral triangle
caudal: pectineus m.
lateral: quadriceps femoris
medial: external abdominal oblique
2 distal branches of medial saphenous vein
cranial and caudal branches of the medial saphenous vein
2 muscles that make up the iliopsoas m.
psoas major and iliacus m.
what lymph nodes are in the femoral triangle?
deep inguinal lymph nodes
origin of adductor m.
pelvic symphysis
fx of accessory ligament
limits pronation of the limb and helps prevent hip luxation (dislocation). It is unique to the horse.
Where does accessory ligament originate and insert?
Origin: prepubic tendon
Insertion: head of femur.
It enters the acetabulum at the acetabular notch and travels under the transverse acetabular ligament
What is the major flexor of the hip?**
iliopsoas m.
Where does iliopsoas m. insert?
lesser trochanter of the femur
Insertion of cranial head of biceps femoris
patella
Insertion of middle head of biceps femoris
lateral patellar region and tibial tuberosity
Insertion of the caudal head of the biceps femoris
tuber calcaneus via the thick crural fascia
What 2 muscles does the common peroneal n. run between caudal to the stifle?
biceps femoris and lateral head of the gastrocnemius m.
2 major branches of the sciatic nerve
common peroneal n. (aka common fibular n.) and tibial n.
What 2 muscles does the tibial n. dive between?
lateral and medial head of the gastrocnemius m.
