30
Q

Which species of animal has a supratrochlear foramen?

What is the difference between pronation and supination? Why are horses and ruminants not capable of either?

A

Pronation: to rotate outward.
Supination: to rotate inward.

In horses and ruminants, the ulna is fused with the radius, so they can’t supinate or pronate their forearm.

Pigs have all 8 bones.

35
Q

What structures form the different borders of the carpal canal?

A

Accessory carpal bone (laterally)
Other carpal bones (dorsally)
Flexor retinaculum (palmar)

36
Q

What two nerves run through the carpal canal?

A

Ulnar and median nerve.

37
Q

Which digit(s) are weight-bearing in the pig and the horse?

A

Pig: digits 3 and 4
Horse: digit 3

38
Q

What bones are the “splint” and “cannon” bone referring to?

A

Splint bone: MC II/IV (2/4)
Cannon bone: MC III (3)

39
Q

What bones are the long pastern, short pastern, and coffin bone referring to?

A

Long pastern bone: proximal phalanx
Short pastern bone: middle phalanx
Coffin bone: distal phalanx

40
Q

What bones are the sesamoid and navicular bone referring to?

A

Sesamoid bone: proximal sesamoid
Navicular bone: distal sesamoids

41
Q

What joints are the coffin joint, the pastern joint, and the fetlock joint in the horse referring to?

A

Coffin joint: distal interphalangeal joint
Pastern joint: proximal interphalangeal joint
Fetlock joint: metacarpophalangeal joint

42
Q

Where are the metacarpophalangeal, the proximal, and the distal interphalangeal joints located?

A

Metacarpophalangeal: located between the metacarpal bones and the proximal phalanges.

Proximal interphalangeal joint: located between the metacarpophalangeal and distal interphalangeal joint.

Distal interphalangeal joint: furthest from carpal bones.

43
Q

What ligament is responsible for keeping claws retracted in cats?

A

Dorsal ligaments.

44
Q

What ligaments prevent abnormal separation of the two digits in cattle?

A

Proximal/distal interdigital ligaments.

45
Q

What is the difference between extrinsic and intrinsic muscles?

A

Intrinsic muscles: Muscles having both attachments on the limb.

Extrinsic muscles: Muscles that attach the forelimb to some other part of the body (head, neck, or trunk).

46
Q

What superficial muscle originates on the spine of the scapula and inserts on the dorsal neck/thorax?

A

Trapezius

47
Q

What superficial muscle originates on the spine of the scapula and extends to the atlas? Is it proximal or distal to the trapezius?

A

Omotransversarius. It is distal to the trapezius.

48
Q

What long flat superficial muscle extends from the head/neck to the arm? What are the 2 divisions of this muscle (as demarcated by the clavicular insertion)?

A

Brachiocephalicus.

Two divisions:
Cleidobrachialis
Cleidocephalicus

49
Q

What extrinsic muscle of the shoulder originates on the dorsal border of the scapula and inserts on the dorsal neck/thorax/skull?

A

Rhomboideus

50
Q

What extrinsic muscle of the shoulder supports the weight of the trunk?

A

Serratus ventralis

51
Q

Deep pectoral

52
Q

A

*Extends the elbow, flexes the shoulder.
1. Long head (originates on the caudal edge of scapula)
2. Lateral head (originates on the humerus)
3. Medial head (originates on the humerus)
4. Accessory head (originates on the humerus)

55
Q

Is the biceps brachii on the cranial or caudal aspect of the humerus? What is its action on the elbow?

A

Cranial aspect of the humerus. *Flexes the elbow, extends the shoulder.

56
Q

Where do the extensor muscles of the carpus and digit originate?

A

Lateral epicondyle of the humerus.

57
Q

What is the most medial of the dorsolateral muscles of the forearm?

A

Extensor carpi radialis.

58
Q

Where does the common digital extensor insert?

A

From the humerus to the distal phalanges.

59
Q

Where does the lateral digital extensor insert?

A

From the proximal radius to the middle phalanges.

60
Q

Where do the flexor muscles of the carpus and digit originate? Are they caudal or craniolateral?

A

Originate from the medial epicondyle of the humerus. They are caudal.

61
Q

Which of the caudal antebrachial muscles are innervated by the median nerve and is the most medial of the group?

A

Flexor carpi radialis

62
Q

What are the structures of the stay apparatus of the equine forelimb? Know how they function to stabilize the limb.

A

Lacertus fibrosus - tendinous band connecting the tendon of the biceps brachii muscle to the tendon of the extensor carpi radialis muscle.

Collateral ligaments - are placed behind the axis of the joint. Stabilize a joint as it flexes and extends through its range of motion.

Tendon of the extensor carpi radialis muscle - inserts on the proximal metacarpus; when pulled by the lacertus fibrosus, it maintains the carpus in extension.

Palmar carpal ligament - runs palmar to the joint, prevents carpal hyperextension.

Suspensory ligament - joins the common extensor tendon, thereby transferring the tension from the extensor tendon to the suspensory ligament

Sesamoidean ligaments - counteract the pull of the suspensory ligament and stabilize the fetlock joint, prevents fetlock from sinking.

Proximal check ligament - transfers tension from the superficial digital flexor to the radius

Distal check ligament - transfers tension in the deep digital flexor tendon to the metacarpal bone.

In summary, equine stay apparatus:
> Locks the limb so the horse can stand while
exerting minimal effort.
> Prevents flexion of the shoulder, elbow, and
carpus.
> Prevents overextension of the carpus and
pastern.
> Prevents collapse of the fetlock.
