Lecture 12: Antebrachium and Carpus Flashcards
carpus vs manus
carpus = bones of wrist
manus = metacarpals and phalanges
why do many muscles of forearm move carpus and manus
cross wrist and insert on phalanges
3 bones of antebrachium
radius
ulna
carpals
5 joints of antebrachium
elbow
carpal
carpo metacarpal
metacarpophalangeal
interphalangeal
why is radius palpable through skin
medial aspect of antebrachium not covered by any msucles
what part of radius and ulna contribute to the wrist
distal epiphysis
what is special about equine ulna/radius
distal ulna fused to distal radius
cows often lack which carpal
1
proximal row of carpal bones from most medial to lateral
radial
intermediate
ulnar
accessory
what do radial and intermediate carpal bones do in dogs
fuse
what makes accessory carpal bone special
palpable
looks like an appendage
distal row of carpal bones from most medial to lateral
1, 2, 3, 4, 5
5th carpal bone: specialization
never separate
usually suppressed or fused with 4th carpal bone
2nd and 3rd carpal bones: ruminants
fused
carpal bones in cows
1st absent
2nd and 3rd fused
joints of the wrist: 5
distal radioulnar
antebrachiocarpal
midcarpal
carpometacarpal
intercarpal
which joints share a joint capsule: 2 capsules, 4 joints
distal radioulnar + antebrachiocarpal
midcarpal + carpometacarpal
ginglymus definition
hinge with some lateral movement
what kind of joint is wrist
ginglymus/hinge
which wrist joint is very mobile
antebrachiocarpal
which wrist joint allows some adduction/abduction
carpometacarpal
carpometacarpal joint in ruminants
no movement
