Q

Thoracic Vertebrae are characterized by:

A

Short bodies

Short transverse processes

Long spinous processes

28
Q

Thoracic Vertebrae:

Cranial costal fovea

Caudal costal fovea

A

all thoracic vertebrae except for the most caudal, possess a pair of depressions on the cranial end of the vertebral body and a pair of depressions on the caudal end of the vertebral body for articulation with the heads of ribs

Last thoracic vertebra only has cranial costal foveae

29
Q

Thoracic Vertebrae:

Costal fovea of the transverse process

A

Depressions on the trasverse processes of thoracic vertebra that articulate with the tubercle of the rib.

30
Q

Thoracic vertebrae:

Anticlinal Vertebra

A

First vertebra in the caudal thoracic or lumbar region whose spinous process is perpendicular to the body. The spinous process of the rpeceding vertebrae incline caudally.

31
Q

Mamillary processes

A

Small projections for the attachment of epaxial muscles. They are present on all vertebrae except for the cervical vertebrae and the first few thoracic vertebrae. Initially, mammillary processes are located on the transverse processes, but shift to the cranial articular processes in the caudal thoracic region.

They remain associated with the cranial articular processes throughout the lumbar, sacral, and caudal vertebrae.

32
Q
A
  1. Cranial Costal fovea
  2. Caudal costal fovea
  3. Costal fovea of transverse process
  4. Mamillary process
  5. Lateral vertebral foramen

  2. Transverse process
  3. Costal fovea of the transverse process
  4. Mamillary process
  5. Caudal articular process
34
Q

Lumbar vertebrae are characterized by:

A

Long transverse processes

35
Q

What is special about the transverse processes of the horse in the last two or three lumbar vertebrae?

A

The transverse processes of the last two or three lumbar vertebrae articulate with each other, and the transverse processes of the last (6th) lumbar vertebra also articulate with the wings of the sacrum.

36
Q
A
  1. Mamillary process
  2. Transverse process
  3. Cranial articular process
37
Q
A
  1. Mammillary process
  2. Caudal articular process
38
Q

The thoracic skeleton is also known as _____, and consists of ______.

A

Thoracic skeleton = bony thorax

Consists of thoracic vertebrae, ribs, and sternum.

39
Q

Thoracic cavity

A

Space enclosed by thoracic vertebrae, ribs, and sternum.

40
Q

Thoracic inlet = cranial thoracic aperture

A

Cranial opening, bounded by the manubrium of the strenum, first pair of ribs, and first thoracic vertebrae.

41
Q

Thoracic outlet = caudal thoracic aperture

A

Caudal opening of the thoracic cavity

42
Q

The strenum consists of ______.

A

Bony segements known as sternebrae, united by intervening cartilages or fused by synostoses.

43
Q

How can you know the number of sternebrae in a given species?

A

The number of sternebrae in each species is one less than the number of sternal ribs.

Dog and cat have 8 strenabrae

Horse, ox, and sheep have 7 sternabrea.

Goat and pig have 6 sternabrea.
