Skeletal (W3.4.1) Flashcards
Clavicle
absent or rudimentary
in cat separate nonarticulating bone (seen radiographically can be mistaken for bone in esophagus)
Scapula
(components) spine, acromion, supraspinous/infraspinous/subscapular fossa, supraglenoid tubercle
Glenoid Cavity
articulates with the head of the humerus to form the shoulder joint
Humerous
head, humeral condyle, lateral/medial epicondylye, shaft
Greater tubercle (of humerous)
point of the shoulder
Shoulder joint
Glenohumeral or scapulohumeral
ball and socket
head of humerus with glenoid cavity of scapula
Osteochondrosis
(OCD) failure of cartilage maturation
seen in humeral head of dog; giant and large breed dogs with front leg lameness
Joint mouse
piece floats in joint space (cartilage)
Olecranon
point of elbow
Elbow joint
trochlear notch + anconeal process
Ununited Anconeal process
Should fuse by 6 months of age
large and giant breeds fails to fuse
leads to Osteoarthritis
surgical removal
Intterosseous space
between ulna and radius
present in D/C and not fused
Proximal in Horses and fused
Proximal and distal in horse and cow
Proximal articular surface
articulates with proximal ulna and distal humerus
Carpal articular surface
styloid process
Radial Agenesis
???
Collateral ligaments of the elbow joint
medial and lateral, restrict movemtent to just flexion and extension
Olecranon bursitis
False SQ bursa between skin and olecranon (point of elbow) due to repeated trauma
Shoe boil
seen in horses; trauma from shoes
Hygroma
large, heavy dogs, laying on hard surfaces
Carpus of the front foot
carpus, metacarpals, digits; 2 rows of bones
Importance of the carpus in horses
Chip fractures of carpus = #1 fracture in racehorses overextension at speed
Knee
term for horse carpus
Splints
inflammation of interossoeous ligament between splint bones and cannon
Carpitis
(popped knees)
traumatic arthritis of carpus in horse
Carpal hygroma
SQ bursa dorsal carpus
