Areolar tissue
Loose connective tissue that contains fat
Superficial fascia
Deep to areolar tissue, connective tissue enveloping, separating, or binding together muscles, organs, & other soft structures of the body
Deep fascia
Firmly attached to the muscle that it encloses
Adipose tissue
Used for cushioning, thermal, insulation, energy storage
Fat
Dense connective tissue
Forms strong, rope-like structures such as tendons & ligaments.
Tendons
Type of deep connective tissue
Attach skeletal muscles to bones
Ligaments
Type of deep connective tissue
Attach bones to bones at joints
Extrinsic muscles
Have one attachment on the limb & one attachment on the main body.
Actions depend on weight distribution
The limb moves relative to the body (vice versa)
Intrinsic muscles
Attachments are all on the limb
Pelvic girdle (pelvis)
Consist of two hip bones united at symphysis pelvis midventrally & join sacrum dorsally Parts: Ilium Ischium Pubis

Uterus Bladder Rectum Small intestine Reproductive organs
Bones of the pelvic limb
Pelvic girdle
Femur
Tibia
Fibula
Femur
Large bone with a cylindrical body
Tibia
Also called the shin bone
Articulates with the distal end of femur
Head of the fibula
Articulates with lateral condyle of tibia
Subtendinous synovial bursa
Between the tendon of infraspinatus insertion & greater tubercle of humerus
Flexor retinaculum
Thick layer of fibrous tissue on the palmar side of the carpus
Holds tendons of all three heads of deep digital flexor in place
On top of carpal canal
Carpal canal
Holds deep digital flexor tendon
Femoral triangle
The shallow triangular space through which the femoral artery & vein run to/from the pelvic limb
