Major role of the forelimb?
support the weight of the body
Approx. ______% of the body weight is supported by the forelimb
60%
The weight supported by the forelimb is received at the proximal end of the scapula through the attachment of this muscle
serratus ventralis
What is one of the most important features of the suspensory apparatus?
suspensory ligament
These things prevent excessive overextension of the fetlock joint by the suspensory apparatus (6)
- suspensory ligament

- DDF tendon
___________ prevents the pastern joint from buckling forward (flexion)
SDF tendon
T/F: When weight is on the limb, the SDF is under tension and pulls back on the joint
True
The carpus is stabilized by the ….
- palmar carpal ligament
- digital flexor tendons
- ECR tendon
Overextension of the carpus is blocked by the…
- primatily = flat dorsal parts of the articular surfaces in the radiocarpal and midcarpal joints
- secondary = palmar carpal ligament
