Pelvic Limb Flashcards
What portion of the bone is the rounded console of the femur that articulates with the _____
Head articulates with the acetabulum
Which ligament attaches to the fovea capitis Femoris ?
Ligament of the head of the femur
The fovea capitis femoris is enlarged In the horse due to this additional ligament. Where does this ligament originate? And what does this ligament prevent the horse from doing?
Accessory ligament of the head of the femur which originates from the prepubic tendon.prevents the horse from side kicking
The deep gluteal muscles attach here
Greater trochanter of the femur
In the horse this bony prominence has a cranial and caudal part
Greater trochanter
This is a large depression on the femur where the internal obturator , external obturator and gemelli muscles attach
Trochanteric fossa
This medial bony prominence of the femur is where the iliopsoas muscle inserts
Lesser trochanter
This is the bony prominence that lies between the lesser and greater trochanter. The ___ ___ muscles inserts here
Intertrochanteric crest. Quadratus femoris muscle inserts here
Projection on the proximolateral surface of the femoral bone just distal to the greater trochanter,the ____ ____ muscle attaches here
Third trochanter, superficial gluteal muscle
What is the largest sesamoids bone?
Patella
This is a pulley shaped region on the craniodistal portion of the femoral bone
The trochlea
The patella is enveloped within the tendon of the quadriceps femoris muscle and is stabilized within n the trochlear groove by which ligaments?
Lateral and medial femoropatellar ligaments
In the dog, the medial and lateral femoropatellar ligaments attach to the fabellae and to the patella. The ___ are sesamoid bones located in the tendons of the origin of the medial and lateral heads of the gastrocnemius.
fabellae
In horses, the ___ and ___ are important components of the patellar locking mechanism.
trochlea and patella
In the femur of the horse the trochlea has both ___ and __ ridges.the __ ridge is expanded proximally as the ___ tubercle. the proximal aspect of the tubercle is somewhat flatted and presents a resting surface for the ___. The groove located between the ridges is the ___ surface of the patella.
medial and lateral ridges(lips), trochlear , patella , gliding
The femoro tibialpatellar articulation is often called
the stifle joint
the medial condyle of the humerus articulates with?
The lateral condyle of the humerus articulates with?
the medial condyle of the tibia
the lateral condyle of the tibia
This is a deep wide space separating medial and lateral condyles, the proximal part of the ____ and ___ ____ ligaments attach within this.
the intercondylar fossa, cranial and caudal cruciate ligaments
origin of the medial head of the gastronemius muscle, tendon of the origin envelopes a sesamoid bone , the?
medial fabella
this is the origin of the lateral head of the gastrocnemius muscle and the superficial digital flexor muscle .
Lateral supracondylar tuberosity
the tendon of origin of the gastrocnemias muscle envelopes a sesamoid bone ,the ____ ___
lateral fabella
In the horse there is a ____ fossa that serves as the origin of superficial digital flexor muscle- (lateral supracondylar tuberosity)
supracondylar
This is a large flat triangular area on the caudal surface of the distal extremity of the femur , proximal to the condyles
popliteal surface
This is the attachment site of the medial collateral ligament of the stifle joint
medial epicondyle
this is the attachment site of the lateral collateral ligament of the stifle joint
lateral epicondyle
this is the depression on the distal aspect of the lateral femoral condyle , at the junction of the lateral condyle and the lateral lip of the trochlea , orgin of the long digital extensor muscle.
extensor fossa
In the horse this is the origin of the long digital extensor muscle and the fibularis tertius
extensor fossa
