Q

What does the tendon of the popliteus do?

A

Crosses into the stifle joint cap.

24
Q

What are the joints that make up the stifle joint?

A

femorotibial, femorpatellar, and proximal tibofibular joints

25
Where is the sesamoid bone in the dog?
Popliteus muscle
26
What in the dog is also included in the stifle?
Femorofabellar joint and tibia/sesamoid connect
27
What are the two meniscii?
Medial and lateral
28
What are meniscii?
Fibrocartilage discs, semilunar in shape
29
What is the function of the meniscii?
Stabilize movement of round femoral condyles on flat tibial condyles
30
How does the patellar ligament support the stifle?
cranially
31
How does the medial collateral ligament support the stifle?
medially
32
How does the lateral collateral ligament support the stifle?
laterally
33
How does the caudal cruciate ligament support the stifle?
prevents caudal slip of the tibia
34
How does the cranial cruciate ligament support the stifle?
prevents the cranial slip of the tibia
35
How does the meniscofemoral ligament support the stifle?
Stabilizes the menisci
36
What are the main movements of the stifle?
flexion and extension
37
What is special about the stifles of cats and dogs?
have some translational mobility and rotation along long axis of tibia
38
What happens to the lateral collateral ligament when stifle flexed?
Ligaments loosen
39
What does a loose lateral collateral ligament allow?
Internal rotation of the tibia on the femur
40
What do the cruciate ligaments do with the stifle is flexed?
Twist on each other to limit internal rotation
41
Why do horses need specializations in their stiffle?
Passive stay aparatus
42
What are the three specializations that occur in the horses knee?
1) Enlarged medial epicondylar ridge 2) Two surfaces on trochlear surface 3) Patella is diamond shaped
43
What are the surfaces on the trochlea in the horse's knee?
Gliding and resting surface
44
What direction is the horse's patella extended and by what?
Medially, by the patellar fibrocartilage
45
What does the caudal facing portion of the patella do in the horse?
Larger, engages gliding surface of trochlea
46
What does the cranial facing portion of the patella do in the horse?
Narrow, engages resting surface of trochlea with full extension
47
What is the difference in the patellar ligament in the horse?
there is a intermediate, lateral, and medial ligament
48
What is the origin of the femoral n.?
L4-6 spinal nn.
49
What muscles does the femoral n. innervate?
iliopsoas, sartorius, and quadriceps femoris
50
What muscle does the femoral nerve first pass through?
Psoas major
51
What does the femoral nerve pass through before getting to the thigh?
Between dorsocaudal corner of flank and iliopsoas muscle
52
Where does the femoral nerve enter the thigh?
Between sartorius and pectineus
53
What does the femoral n. travel with?
external iliac a. and v.
54
What branches off the femoral n.?
Saphenous n.
55
What does the saphenous n. do?
sensory to medial leg and tarsus
