Lecture 6 - Antebrachium and carpus Flashcards
What basc joints are in the antebrachium-carpal region?
Radio-carpal, intercarpal, carpo-metacarpal joints
What are the major bones in the antebrachium?
Radius, ulna, and carpals
What are the compartments in the antebrachium?
Caudal and craino-ventral
What artery supplies the caudal compartment?
median a., ulnar a., and radial a.
What nerve supplies the caudal compartment?
Median and ulnar n.
What action is the caudal compartment responsible for?
Flexion of carpus and digits
What artery supplies the craino-ventral compartment?
Superficial brachial a.
What nerve supplies the craino-ventral compartment?
Radial n.
What action is the craino-ventral compartment responsible for?
Extension of carpus and digits
What are the two rows of carpals?
Proximal and distal
What are the proximal carpals?
radial, intermediate, ulnar, and accessory
What occurs in the proximal carpals of dogs?
radial and intermediate fuse
What are the basic characteristics of the accessory carpal?
Projects behind the carpus, projects behind the carpus
What are the carpals in the distal row?
1-5
What occurs in the distal carpals of ungulates?
second and third fuse
What occurs with the first carpal?
often lacking
What happens with the fifth bone?
Never a separate bone - either suppressed or fused with the fourth
What shares a joint capsule with the distal radioulnar joint?
Antebrachiocarpal joint
What shares a joint capsule with the midcarpal joint?
Carpometacarpal
Where are the intercarpal joints?
between individual carpal bones
How does the carpal act in carnivores?
Acts as ginglymus
What is ginglymus?
hinge with lateral movement
What is the most mobile joint in the carpus of a carnivore?
antebrachiocarpal joint
How does the carpal joint act in an ungulate?
As a hinge - some oblique movements
