shoulder and brachial regions

Question 1

what are the regions of the forelimb

Answer 1

omo - shoulder
brachium - shoulder to elbow
antebrachium - elbow to carpus (forearm)
carpus (wrist)
manus (hand) distal to wrist
digit (toe)

Question 2

what us the scapula

Answer 2

type of flat bone

Question 3

what is on the lateral surface of the scapula

Answer 3

spine - supraspinous and infraspinous fossa
acromion process
glenoid cavity (shoulder joint)
supraglenoid tubercle

Question 4

what muscle attaches to the supraglenoid tubercle

Answer 4

biceps brachii

Question 5

what is medial surface of the scapula

Answer 5

serrated
rough bone

Question 6

what muscles attach to the medial surface of the scapula

Answer 6

serratus ventralis
subscapularis

Question 7

difference of scapula in cat to dog

Answer 7

more rounded cranial angle than dog
suprahamate process (proximal to acromion process)
cats have a clavicle, dogs have a clavicular insertion

Question 8

where are the 2 centres of ossification of the scapula

Answer 8

body
supraglenoid tubercle

Question 9

potential problem in scapula

Answer 9

week point at tendon of origin of the biceps brachii muscle may cause an avulsion fracture

Question 10

what part of the scapula is palpable

Answer 10

dorsal border
cranial border
cranial angle
acromion

Question 11

extrinsic muscles of the scapula

Answer 11

brachiocephalic
omotransversarious

Question 12

role of abductor muscles

Answer 12

move limb away from midline

Question 13

role of adductor muscles

Answer 13

move limb towards midline

Question 14

what type and shape of bone is the humerus

Answer 14

long bone
s-shaped

Question 15

what is on the proximal end of the humerus

Answer 15

head
greater tubercle
lesser tubercle
intertubercular groove

Question 16

what does the head of the humerus articulate with

Answer 16

glenoid cavity

Question 17

what is on the distal end of the humerus

Answer 17

condyle (elbow joint) divided into 2 areas lateral and medial epicondyle
trochlea
capitulum
olecranon (caudal aspect)
radial fossa (cranial aspect)
supratrochlear foramen (hole)

Question 18

what does the trochlea articulate with

Answer 18

radius and ulna

Question 19

what does the capitulum articulate with

Answer 19

radius

Question 20

difference in cat humerus to dog

Answer 20

no supratrochlear foramen

Question 21

centres of ossification in the humerus

Answer 21

proximal epiphyses
body
medial epicondyle
medial half of the condyle
lateral half of the condyle

Question 22

palpation landmarks of the humerus

Answer 22

greater tubercle
lateral epicondyle
medial epicondyle
