19
Q

name some thoracic limb adaptations in the horse?

A
  • scapula curved and slides along rib cage
  • humerus large and robust
  • Radio-ulnar articulation reduced or absent
20
Q

what are the muscles responsible for hip extension (caudo-lateral)?

A
  • Gluteal muscles (deep gluteal, middle gluteal & superficial gluteal)
  • Hamstrings (semimembranous, semitendonous & biceps femoris)
21
Q

What muscles are responsible for hip flexion (cranio-lateral)?

A
  • Rectos femoris (Only part of the quadracep muscle that acts on the coxafemoral joint)
  • gluteal superficialis
  • Iliacus
22
Q

What are the muscles responsible for adduction at the hindelimb?

A
  • Gracilis

- Adductors

23
Q

What muscles are responsible for abduction on the hindelimbs?

A
  • Sartorius
  • Gluteal muscles
  • Piriformis
24
Q

What muscles cause flexion at the stifle joint?

A
  • Hamstings
  • Gastrocnemius
  • Poplitus
25
Q

What muscles are responsible for extension at the stifle joint?

A

-Quadriceps (3 vasti & rectos remoris

26
Q

What muscles cause flexion at the hock (metacarpalphalangial joint)?

A

Cranial tibial

27
Q

What muscles are responsible for extension at the hock ?

A
  • Gastrocnemius

- Soleus

28
Q

What is reciprocal Apparatus?

A

This is cause by the action of the peroneus tertius and the flexor digitorum superficialis. This allows for simultaneous flexion at the hock and stifle joints. Energy saving mechanism.

29
Q

what nerves innervate the pelvic limb structures?

A

Lumbrosacral plexus

  • femoral
  • sciatic
  • gluteal
  • obturator
30
Q

What is patella locking and what adaptation allows it ?

A

Patella locking is the locking of the stifle joint allowing for minimal energy consumption to maintain a standing stance. The trochlear of the horse has two ridges unlike other species, a medial and lateral aspect. The medial ridge is larger and the patella articulates here and locking is enabled.

31
Q

Describe the process of endochondrial ossification..

A

Periosteum forms around hyaline cartilage. Osteogenic cells differentiate into osteoblasts and secrete osteoid which forms the bone collar. The primary ossification centre (centred cartilage) begins to ossify leading to cavitation. blood vessels from periosteum pass through lamellar and poke through nutrient foramen. remaining cartilage broke down by osteoclasts and osteoblast secrete osteoid. blood vessels then bud into the cartilage in the epiphysis forming secondary ossification centres. Osteoclast break down cartilage and spongy bone is formed. EGP and articular cartilage are left behind

32
Q

Describe intramembranous ossification..

A

perichondrial cells lay down bone collar. Mesenchyme cells become osteoblast and osteoclasts. osteoblast that get stuck in the bone matrix become osteocytes.

33
Q

Describe the process of bone growth..

A
  • Reserve chondrocytes begin to proliferate and mature
  • Chondrocytes undergo hypertrophy
  • Cartilage is calcified
  • Organisation of bony trabeculae begins and osteoclastic resorption
34
Q

What are the hormonal factors affecting one growth/remodelling..

A
  • Dietary calcium and phosphate needed for hydroxyapetite
  • absorption of ca+2 dependant on calcitriol, only made in the presence of vitamin D
  • Calcititonin/Parathyroid hormone regulate ca+2 metabolism
  • Insulin, GH and thyroxin promote bone growth
  • Oestrogen promotes osteoclast activity
35
Q

Why is ATP required for muscle contraction?

A

1) ATP hydrolysis re energises myosin head, providing energy for myosin head movement and force generation
2) Allows for repeated contraction (releases myosin head from actin)
3) Ca-ATPas in sarcoplasmic reticulum hydrolyses ATP to take back up ca+2 after contraction

36
Q

what are the Sources of ATP

A

1) Phosphorylation of ADP by creatine phosphate
- very rapid -amount made limited by amount of CP in cell -short duration
2) oxidative phosphorylation of ADP in mitochondria in mitochondria (aerobic) -moderate levels, slow -uses blood borne fuels (glucose,02,fatty acids) as well as glycogen in muscles
3) phosphorylation of ADP in cytosol (anaerobic)
- lactic acid by product - requires glycogen and/or glucose

37
Q

Describe the different types of muscle fibres..

A

type I- slow twitch, red in colour high levels of myoglobin. resistant to fatigue. large amount of mitochondria
Type IIa- Fast oxidative. uses both aerobic and anaerobic metabolism. moderate force fatigue
Type IIb- fast glycolytic, lower levels of myoglobin and mitochondria giving a white colouration. produce ATP at a slow rate but break it down rapidly. short sharp burst followed by fatigue.

38
Q

What is hysteresis?

A

Energy lost by tendons during elastic cycle. heat dissipation.

39
Q

What is mechanical safety factor?

A

Ratio of failure stress to typical stress experienced during normal locomotion (typically 2-4)

40
Q

Explain how bone is tough and strong by using elastic and plastic regions…

A

Elastic region of bone represents the normal functional limit for stress, bone recovered when bone is unloaded. Plastic region gives bone its toughness, allowing large amounts of energy to be absorbed, This however causes micro fractures which must be healed by remodelling. If the amount of stress overlaps the the rate of remodelling then fracture occurs.

41
Q

What are the differences in the femur between the dog and horse?

A
  • Greater trochanter less pronounced in dog, less muscle attachment
  • Trochlear has 2 ridges in the horse, medial & lateral.
  • Horse has a third trochanter where the superficial gluteal muscle attaches
