Midterm II Flashcards
Trace the sensory innervation of the eye (choroid, cornea, bulbar conjunctiva, iris) from the eye to the brain.
Long ciliary nerve-nasociliary nerve-ophthalmic branch of trigeminal-orbital fissure- trigeminal nerve-trigeminal ganglion in trigeminal canal-petrous temporal bone
Which motor nerve innervates the rostral belly of the digastricus and which innervates the caudal belly?
Rostral: Mylohyoid nerve (from the mandibular branch of trigeminal)
Caudal: Digastric branch of the facial nerve
Which muscle use the sacrotuberous ligament as an attachment?
Biceps femoris m.
Superficial gluteal m.
Piriformis m.
Caudal crural abductor m.
Which muscles are innervated by the sciatic nerve?
Biceps femoris m.
Semitendinosus m.
Semimembranosus m.
Caudal crural abductor m.
If the cranial gluteal nerve was damaged, what clinical signs would we see? Why?
The patient would have reduced ability to extend the hip and rotate the thigh medially. because the middle gluteal, piriformis, deep gluteal, and tensor fasciae latae muscles are innervated by this nerve.
What nerve innervates the superficial gluteal muscle?
Caudal gluteal nerve
Which muscles are innervated by the femoral nerve?
Quadriceps femoris ( vastus lateralis, rectus femoris, vastus intermedius and vastus medialis) mm.
Sartorius m.
Articularis coxae m.
Name four ossification centers that should be fused to the diaphysis by the time a dog is 6 months of age.
- Acetabular bone of the os coxae
- Femoral head, major trochanter, and distal epiphysis of the femur
- Proximal and distal epiphysis of the tibia
- Proximal and distal epiphysis of the fibula
- Tuber calcanei of calcaneus of tarsus
- Distal epiphysis of the metatarsus
- Proximal epiphysis of the proximal and middle phalanges
- Patella
Name four ossification center that should not be fused to the diaphysis by the time a dog is 6 months of age.
- Crest of the ilium
- Tuber ischiadicum
- Pelvic symphysis
- Minor trochanter of the femur
- Tibial tuberosity
Name the five nerve blocks that can be used in the head.

Which facial nerves innervate the lacrimal gland?
Facial nerve-major petrosal nerve- nerve of the pterygoid canal-pterygopalatine ganglion
What type of fibers innervate the lacrimal gland and glands of the nasal cavity?
Postganglionic parasympathetic
Which nerve innervates the mandibular and sublingual salivary glands?
Chordae Tympani nerve from the facial nerve
Which nerve innervates the parotid and zygomatic salivary glands?
Parasympathetic branches of the glossopharyngeal nerve
Where is the carotid sinus, what is it’s purpose, and which nerve innervates it?
Located at the origin of the internal carotid artery, contains baroreceptors for detection of change in blood pressure, and innervated by the carotid sinus branch of the glossopharyngeal nerve.
Where is the carotid body, what is it’s purpose, and which nerve innervates it?
Located at the bifurcation of the internal and external carotid arteries. contains chemoreceptors, and innervated by the carotid sinus branch of the glossopharyngeal nerve.
Which arteries supply blood to the arterial circle in the brain of the dog?
Basilar artery
Internal carotid which bifurcates into the middle and rostral cerebral arteries, and the caudal communicating artery.
Why in the cat does part of the internal carotid artery not supply blood to the brain? What artery does?
It becomes ligamentous during postnatal development, but the intracranial part of the internal carotid remains patent and receives blood from the maxillary rete mirabile and ascending pharyngeal artery.
If there is something wrong with the general visceral efferent fibers of the vagus nerve, what will we observe?
Tachycardia and decreased peristalsis
If a cat is exhibiting dysphagia and dysphonia, which nerve(s) may have a lesion? What is there is just dysphagia?
Vagus nerve (Only) Glossopharyngeal nerve (Only
How is the pharyngeal plexus formed?
The vagus (pharyngeal branch) and the glossopharyngeal nerves (pharyngeal branch) come together
At the caudal 1/3 of the tongue, which nerve(s) are responsible for the taste and touch?
Lingual branch of the glossopharyngeal nerve
Which metatarsals are weight bearing in the dog/cat?
III and IV
Look at the fovea capitus and extensor fossa of the femur on radiographs!
DO IT
What is Osteochondritis dissecans and where does it normally occur?
Dead bone underneath cartilage due to lack of blood flow..bone can break off and cause pain.
Lateral and medial femoral condyles
Femoral trochlea
Medial ridge of the talus
Where are common places for osteosarcomas?
Distal femur
