Suspended from the distal extremity of PI

29
Q

What ligaments interact with the navicular bone?

A

Navicular ligaments

30
Q

What are the branches of the navicular ligaments?

A

Collateral and distal

31
Q

Tendons from what muscles enter the foot to the metacarpal bone?

A

EDC and EDL

32
Q

Tendons from what muscles enter the foot caudal to the MC bone?

A

FDS and FDP

33
Q

What role does the interosseus muscle play?

A

Support of the fetlock

34
Q

What is the origin of the interosseus muscle?

A

Palmar carpal ligament and adjacent part of large metacarpal bone

35
Q

What is the path of the interosseus muscle?

A

between splint bones and divides above the fetlock, two division are easily felt

36
Q

What is the insertion of the interosseus muscle?

A

proximal sesamoid bones

37
Q

What occurs to the interosseous muscle in metacarpus (bovine?)?

A

Give five principal branches

38
Q

Where do four of the interosseous muscle branches go?

A

proximal sesamoid bones

39
Q

What does the arrangement of the interosseous muscle with the other tendons do?

A

form sling, tenses when foot bears weight and fetlock is overextended

40
Q

What is the check ligament for the superficial digital flexor?

A

Band formed by interosseous muscle on palmar surface and joins bands of SDF

41
Q

What are the three major palmar a. in the horse?

A

Medial/lateral palmar a.

Medial/lateral palmar metacarpal aa.

42
Q

What branches off the medial palmar a.?

A

Medial/lateral digital a.

43
Q

What is the most important artery?

A

Medial palmar a.

44
Q

What is the medial artery a continuation of?

A

Median a.

45
Q

What is the lateral palmar a. a descendent of?

A

Collateral ulnar a.

46
Q

What supplies blood to branches of the interosseous?

A

medial/lateral palmar metacarpal a.

47
Q

What branches does the ulnar nerve give off?

A

Palmar and dorsal

48
Q

What does the dorsal branch n. do?

A

Sensory from skin over lateral surface of metacarpus

49
Q

What is the palmar branch n. a terminal branch of?

A

median n.

50
Q

What is the main nerve in the forearm?

A

Median n.

51
Q

What does the Median n. divide into?

A

Medial and lateral palmar n.

52
Q

What does the lateral palmar n. exchange fibers with?

A

palmar branch of the ulnar n.

53
Q

What does the lat. palmar n. supply?

A

Interosseous and palmar pouch of fetlock

54
Q

When does the lat. palmar n. become subcutaneous?

A

distal end of splint bones - supply dorsal pouch

55
Q

What does the medial palmar n. become above the fetlock?

A

medial digital n.

56
Q

What happens to the medial digital n.?

A

gives rise to one or two dorsal branches

57
Q

Where does the medial palmar n. end?

A

Supplying laminar and sole dermis

58
Q

What muscle prevents the shoulder from flextion?

A

internal biceps tendon

59
Q

What is passive-stay apparatus?

A

weight of trunk does not pass directly through joint axis of rotation, allows horses to stand for a long time

60
Q

How is overextension prevented?

A

close-packing of carpal cranial

palmar carpal ligaments caudal

62
Q

What action does lacertus fibrosus (w/ other tendons) prevent?
