25
What occurs at the talo-crural joint?
Trochlea of talus conforms with cochlea of tibia providing free excursion
26
What happens at the talo-crural joint when the there is flexion at the hock in horses?
Distal limb is carried laterally due to the shaping of the talo-crural joint
27
What does the talar head in artiodactyls articulate with?
Central and fourth tarsal
28
What is different about the shape of the talar head in artiodactyls?
Expanded | Forms double-pulley astragalus
29
What are the parts to the calcaneus?
Sustentaculum, tuber calcanei, and head
30
What does the calcaneus support?
Plantar surface of talus and tendon of flexor digitorum superficialis
31
What surface is at the proximal end of the bone?
Tuber calcanei
32
What attaches at the Tuber Calcanei?
Calcaneal tendon
33
What does the tuber calcanei provide?
Free lever arm for movement at the hock
34
What does the distal end articulate with?
Fourth tarsal
35
What is MT1 in dogs?
dewclaw, not all dogs have it
36
What are the four levels of articulation?
Tarso-crural joint Proximal intertarsal joint Distal intertarsal joint Tarsometatarsal joint
37
What joint does most movement occur?
Crurotarsal joint
38
What type of joint is crurotarsal (movement-wise)?
Atypical hinge joint
39
What happens with foot when carried forward with flexion?
Lateral deviation
40
How does the crurotarsal joint help the pelvic limb?
Helps it be external to thoracic limb when they overlap during high speed running
41
What joint is there some movement in ruminants and carnivores?
Talocentral joint - limited flexion
42
Why is movement allowed at this joint in ruminants/carnivores?
Curved surfaces of the joint
43
Where are the three synovial compartments?
1) Tarsocrural and proximal intertarsal joint 2) Distal intertarsal joint 3) Tarsometatarsal joint
44
Where are there pouches located?
Tarsocrural and proximal intertarsal joints
45
What are the four pouches?
Laterodorsal, mediodorsal, medioplantar, and lateral plantar
46
What is the significance of the pouches?
Weaker part of the joints, swelling can occur here due to overdistension
47
What are the two main ligament groups in the hock?
``` Collateral ligaments (medial/lateral) Long plantar ligament ```
48
Where are the collateral ligaments coming from and going to?
Extend from tibia/fibula to base of metatarsus
49
What are the two parts each collateral ligament consists of?
Long superficial and shorter deep
50
Where is the short, deep ligament restricted to?
Proximal level of articulation
51
Where is the long plantar ligament?
Caudal
52
Where does the long plantar lig. start and end?
Extends from plantar surface of calcaneus over 4th tarsal bone to the metatarsus
53
What do the smaller ligaments do?
Hold tarsal bones together and maintain the integrity of pes
54
What is different about the tibialis cranialis in ungulates?
Passes between split in fibularis tertius and spilts into dorsal and medial branch
55
Where does the dorsal branch of the tibialis cranialis go?
Metatarsal tuberosity
56
Where does the medial branch of the tibialis cranialis go?
1st and 2nd tarsal bones
57
What is different about fibularis longus and brevis in horses?
not present
58
What muscle is missing in carnivorans?
Fibularis tertius
59
What muscles contribute to the deep digital flexors?
flexor digitorium, flexor digitorium medialis, and tibialis caudailis
60
In horses and ruminants the tibialis caudalis tendon merges with what?
FDL and FDM
61
What is the important muscle in pes?
Interossei
62
What differs about the extensor brevis in the pes from the manus?
Muscle belly originates on dorsum of talus and calcaneus and inserts dorsally on digits III-V
63
What is the origin of the common fibular n?
Sciatic nerve
64
What nerves branch off the common fibular n.?
Superficial fibular n. and Deep fibular n.
65
What does the Tibal n. originate from?
Sciatic nerve
66
What muscles does the common fibular n. innervate?
Crainolateral leg group
67
What is the path of the common fibular n.?
Passes lateral to lateral gastronemius to enter leg laterally
68
What cutaneous branch comes off the common fibular n.?
Lateral sural cutaneous branch
69
Where does the common fibular n. branch?
Near fibular head
70
What does the deep fibular n. innervate?
Muscles of the crus
71
What cutaneous innervations does the deep fibular n. provide?
Dorsal pes
72
What muscle group does the tibial n. innervate?
Caudal leg group
73
What is the path of the tibial n.?
Passes between the two heads of the gastronemius to enter the leg
74
What cutaneous branch comes off the tibial nerve?
Caudal sural cutaneous branch
75
What does the tibial n. spilt into?
Medial and lateral plantar nerves
76
Where does the tibial n. split?
When it enters the hock
77
Where does the tibial n. provide sensation?
dorsal pes
78
What are the two superficial veins in the leg?
Lateral and medial saphenous v.
79
What does the lateral saphenous v. drain into?
Popliteal v.
80
What does the medial saphenous v. drain into?
