medial epicondyle of the humerus
where does the medial (ulnar) collateral ligament insert in the elbow?
divides and inserts on the ulna and radius
what represents the remnant of the pronator teres muscle in horses and cattle?
cranial part of the medial (ulnar) collateral ligament in the elbow
where does the olecranon ligament originate?
medial epicondyle of the humerus
where does the olecranon ligament insert?
the anconeal process
what is the function of the olecranon ligament?
re-enforces the joint capsule on its flexor aspect in the cat and dog
what joint does the anular ligament of the radius support?
the proximal radioulnar joint
where does the anular ligament of the radius originate and insert?
passes around radial head on flexor aspect of elbow joint and attaches distally to radial notch of ulna
what joint does the interosseous ligament of the antebrachium support?
proximal radioulnar joint
what does the interosseus ligament of the antebrachium bridge in the dog?
the proximal half of the interosseus space
what is the ligament of the distal radioulnar joint?
the radioulnar ligament
what does the radioulnar ligament extend between?
the radial trochlea and the styloid process of the ulna
what are the 2 major groups of ligaments which support the carpus?
long lateral and medial carpal collateral ligaments, short ligaments
where does the lateral collateral ligament of the carpus attach proximally?
the lateral styloid process of the radius
where do the 3 branches of the lateral collateral ligament of the carpus insert?
proximal extremity of the lateral metacarpal bone, ulnar carpal bone, fourth carpal bone
where doe the medial carpal collateral ligament extend between?
the medial styloid process of the radius and the proximal extremity of the medial metacarpal bone, deep branch to the 2nd carpal bone
in what species are the long continuous collateral ligaments of the carpus absent?
carnivores
what 3 groups can the short ligaments of the carpus be divided into?
vertical, horizontal and short ligaments
what does the extensor retinaculum in the carpus surround?
the extensor tendons
what does the flexor retinaculum in the carpus attach to and become part of?
attaches to the base of the accessory bone and becomes part of the metacarpal fascia
what is the carpal canal formed by?
the flexor retinaculum and the joint capsule of the carpus
what does the carpal canal contain?
the flexor tendons, arteries, veins and nerves
what can the sesamoid ligaments in the forelimb be subdivided into?
proximal, middle and distal ligaments
what is the proximal sesamoid ligament of the proximal sesamoid bones replaced by in carnivores and pigs?
the interosseus muscle
what is the proximal sesamoid ligament replaced by in ruminants and horses?
the suspensory ligament
what is the medial interosseus muscle replaced by in horses?
the suspensory ligament
what are the ligaments of the metacarpophalangeal joints? carnivores
collateral ligaments, ligaments of the proximal sesamoid bones
where do the collateral ligaments of the metacarpophalangeal joints attach? carnivores
the distal ends of the metacarpal bones and the first phalanges
what are the middle ligaments of the proximal sesamoid bones? carnivores
the intersesamoid ligaments and the lateral and medial sesamoid ligaments
what do the intersesamoid ligaments of the proximal sesamoid bones attach? carnivores
the palmar surfaces of the paired sesamoid bones of 1 digit
what are the lateral and medial sesamoid ligaments of the proximal sesamoid bones between? carnivores
the sesamoid bones and the metacarpal bones and the proximal phalanges
what are the distal ligaments of the proximal sesamoid bones? carnivores
the short distal sesamoid ligament and the cruciate ligaments of the sesamoid bones between the proximal sesamoid bones and proximal phalanges
what are the only ligaments bridging the proximal interphalangeal joints vertically? carnivores
collateral ligaments
what are the interdigital ligaments in carnivores?
anular ligaments and a superficial interdigital ligament
what are the ligaments of the fetlock joint? ruminants
proximal interdigital ligament; axial and abaxial collateral ligaments; proximal, middle and distal sesamoid ligaments
where does the suspensory ligament originate? ruminants
the distal carpal bones
what branches does the suspensory ligament split into? ruminants
middle part, lateral and medial branches, strong branch
where does the middle part of the suspensory ligament insert? ruminants
axial proximal sesamoid bones and a branch for each digit
where do the lateral and medial branches of the suspensory ligament insert? ruminants
on the abaxial proximal sesamoid bones and superficial branch to the extensor tendons
