The specialization of the horse stifle allows them to…?

A
  1. Gastrocnemius
  2. Flexor digitorum superficialis: goes to digits
  3. Flexor digitorum profundus (Flx dig lateralis-goes to 1st digit, flx dig medialis, tibialis caudalis)
  4. Popliteus: very proximal
128
Q

Craniolateral Muscles of the leg

A
  1. Tibialis cranialis
  2. Extensor digitorum longus
  3. Peroneus longus
  4. Peroneus brevis
  5. Peroneus tertius

**All 5 are never found simultaneously in any one of our species of study

129
Q

Peroneus (fibularis) tertius

A
  • Not present in carnivores
  • Almost completely tendinous in Equine
  • More fleshy in bovine
130
Q

Innervation of the Leg and Tarsus

A

Sciatic Nerve splits into 2 in the thigh:
- Tibial nerve: enters between 2 heads of gastrocnemius. Can be seen between common calcaneal tendon and caudal crural muscles before splitting to innervate the pes
- Fibular nerve: enters lateral to gastrocnemius. Continues into the dorsum of the pes

131
Q

Blood supply of the leg

A

Saphenous a branches into:
- Cranial branch of the saphenous a –> dorsal metatarsal aa.
- Caudal branch of the saphenous a. –> medial and lateral plantar and metatarsal aa.
Popliteal a branches into:
- Cranial tibial a.
- Dorsal pedal a.

132
Q

Blood supply of the leg in horses

A

The saphenous a. loops and gives off branches:
- Medial/Lateral plantar & metatarsal aa.
- Medial/lateral digital aa.

133
Q

Veins of the Leg

A

Deep veins accompany arteries and have same name.
*Superficial veins:
- Lateral saphenous v.: larger, on lateral aspect of leg; drains into popliteal v.
- Medial saphenous v.: on medial aspect, will travel into thigh before draining into femoral v.

134
Q

What is the hoof?

A
  • Cornified covering of the distal end of the digit of ungulates.
  • Modification of skin: insensitive/sensitive layers
135
Q

Perissodactyl

A

Odd-toed ungulates
Ex: horse

136
Q

Artiodactyl

A

Even-toed ungulates
Ex: cattle, goat, sheep, pig

137
Q

What is the hoof capsule made up of?

A

Epidermis (germinative, proliferative & keratinized layers.
- Consists of strati corneum (keratinized), granulosum, spinsosum (differentiating), basale (stem cells)
Corium (innervated and vascularized)
- Consists of papillary dermis (AVN) and reticular dermis

138
Q

What is the periople?

A

Zone of transition from the skin to the hoof.

139
Q

What are the main regions of the hoof?

A

Wall, sole, and frog

140
Q

Where does the wall of the hoof go?

A

It extends distally, medially, and laterally from the periople

141
Q

Perioplic and coronary grooves run where?

A

At the proximal border of the hoof wall

142
Q

What and where are the bars of the hoof?

A

They are portions of the wall on the palmar region that bend dorsally.

143
Q

What is the frog?

A

The triangular and irregular region of the undersurface. Helps support weight. The point of the frog is the cleft

144
Q

What is the sole?

A

The smooth part of the undersurface of the hoof. Does not touch frog

145
Q

What is the portion of the palmar region where the sole and frog meet?

A

The bulbs in the paracuneal grooves

146
Q

What is the corium?

A

A single layer that is continuous with skin of the limbs. It has different zones but one continuous layer

147
Q

What are the different zone of the corium?

A

Perioplic, coronary, and laminar regions at the wall.
The frog and sole, the corium have their own respective regions

148
Q

What are the strata of the hoof wall in order from outer to inner?

A
  1. Stratum externum
  2. Outer stratum medium
  3. inner stratum medium
  4. stratum internum
149
Q

What stratum layer corresponds with the perioplic corium? And what does it do?

A

Stratum externum: contains stem cells that give rise to the proliferative cells that eventually get keratinized and constitue the stratum sternum of the wall

150
Q

What stratum layer corresponds with the coronary corium? And what does it do?

A

Outer & inner strati medium: stem cells form the outer and inner strati medium

151
Q

What stratum layer corresponds with the laminar corium? And what does it do?

A

Stratum internum: stem cells are quiescent

152
Q

Explain how the hoof grows.

A

The wall strata extend distally, the hoof does NOT grow from the inner to the outer regions
