Which is the only gluteal muscle that does not insert at the greater trochanter of the femur? Where does it insert, and what is its action?
Superficial Gluteal muscle : inserts at the third trochanter of the femur and it extends the hip and abducts the limb
True/False: The cranial tibial muscle rotates the paw medially so the plantar surface faces laterally.
False: the cranial tibial muscle rotates the paw laterally so the plantar surface faces medially

Name the three main systems of the expaxial muscles and what they are divided into.
Iliocostalis System (lumborum, thoracis)
Longissiumus System (lumborum, cervicis, capitis)
Transversospinalis System
- Splenius
- Semispinalis Capitis (Complexus, and Biventer cervicis)

What are the boundaries of the pelvic inlet?
Lateral: arcuate line of the ilium
ventral: pecten of the pubis
dorsal: promontory of the sacrum
What are the boundaries of the pelvic outlet?
Lateral: Sacrotuberous ligament
ventral: Ischiatic arch
dorsal: first caudal vertebra
What ligament is present in equine that limits their range of motion of kicking to the side and makes hip luxation very rare?
Acessory ligament of the femoral head
A rupture of which ligament allows the forward movement of the tibia (tibia moves cranially) while the femur stays in place?
Cranial cruciate ligament
If we have a partial tear, just the gastrocnemius, what will occur? What about a complete rupture?
- There will be a dropped hock and a curled toe if there was a partial tear
- The animal would be flat footed with a dropped hock and lameness if all tendons have ruptured
What tendon gives rise to the Accessory ligament of the femoral head?
Prepubic Tendon
True/False: The Third trochanter is prominent in ruminants and absent in horses.
False. It is prominent in horses and absent in ruminants
What muscles are involved in the Reciprocal Apparatus and what is the purpose of this mechanism?
Perioneus Tertius muscle, the Gastrocnemeus muscle, and the SDF. Allows the stifle and the hock to flex and extend together.
What is considered the “Pin Bone” of bovine?

Femoropatellar joint capsule and the Medial Femorotibial joint capsule
True/False: The proximal intertarsal joint and the distal intertarsal joint “always” communicate.
False. The Tibiotarsal (Tarsocrural) joint and the Proximal Intertarsal Joint “always” communicate
Remember:
“Always” - Tibiotarsal joint (Tarsocrural) & Proximal Intertarsal joint
“Never” - Proximal Intertarsal joint & Distal Intertarsal joint
“Sometimes” - Distal Intertarsal joint & Tarsometatarsal joint

C7 - T13 - L6 - S5 - Cd18-20
True/False. The Atlas contains a dens and articulates with the occipital condyles.
False. The Atlas (C1) not does contain a dens. The Axis (C2) is the one that contains the dens.
What characteristics distinguishes C7 from the other cervical vertebrae? (Hint: this allows us to determine the transition from cervical to thoracic vertebrae)
C7 is the only cervical vertebrae that does not have a transverse foramina and it has a high spinous process
