What goes through the axial foramen of the hoof in cattle?
Principal artery
What articulates with the tubercle for the deep digital flexor in cattle?
Deep digital flexor
What is a sign of uneven horn growth in horses?
rings on side of hoof
What is hoof cartilage attached to?
palmar process of distal phalanx
What is the function of hoof cartilage?
Increasing the surface are for hte horn of the hoof to attach
What is another name for the hoof?
corium
What divides wall from bulb in bovine foot?
Abaxial groove
What are the three major joints in the foot?
PIP, DIP, and MCP
What is the fetlock?
Metacarpophalangeal joint
What is involved in the fetlock?
MCIII, PI, and proximal sesamoid bones
What type of movement occurs at the fetlock?
Extension with relatively high mobility
What connects MCIII and PI together?
medial and lateral collateral ligaments
What are the major ligaments of the fetlock?
Collateral, Straight, and Oblique collateral ligaments
What joins the proximal sesamoids?
Think palmar ligament
What does the collateral sesamoidean ligament do?
Connect the sesamoid to the sides of the metacarpal condyle and proximal tubercles of the PI
What ligaments connect base of sesamoid bones to first phalanx?
Deepest, cruciate, and obilque
What is the point of the sesamoid bone to phalanx ligaments?
ensures sesamoid move agains metacarpal concyle in unison with PI
What connects ses. to the fibrocartilage of PII?
Straight sesamoidiean ligament
What is the pastern?
Proximal interphalangeal joint
What movement occurs at the pastern?
restricted flexion and extension
What do the palmar ligaments connect?
Palmar aspect of PI w/ complementary fibrocartilage of PII
What do the palmar ligaments do?
Limit overextension
What do the palmar ligaments interact with?
Straight sesamoidean bone
What are the branches of the palmar ligaments?
Axial and Abaxial
What is the coffin?
Distal interphalangeal joint
What movement occurs at the coffin?
Flexion and extension to the same degree as the pastern
What is the major bone in the coffin?
Navicular bone
