Q

Carpal pad

A
  • Forelimb only
  • Under carpo-metacarpal joint
  • May contact ground while sprinting
  • Subcutaneous fibro-elastic tissue
  • Fat pad
  • Sweat glands (dogs don’t have sweat gland over body but do on pads)
  • See homologies between pads of different animals

Q

how to name the arteries when they are in the digits

A

from top to bottom:
each digit has a axial/ abaxial DORSAL proper digital artery

and a axial/ abaxial PALMAR/PLANTAR proper digital arteries

17
Q

nerves are named

A

same ways as arteries

18
Q

nerves on palmar side of paw are almost all derived from

A

median and ulnar nerves

19
Q

nerves on dorsal side of paw are almost all derived from

A

radial nerve (except abaxial 5th digit)

20
Q

nerves on palmar side of paw ON HIND LIMB are almost all derived from

A

tibial nerve

21
Q

nerves on dorsal side of paw ON HIND LIMB are almost all derived from

A

peroneal

22
Q

Common digital extensor goes all way down to

A

distal phalanges 2-5

23
Q

Lateral digit extensor goes all way down

A

on to the tendons common digital extensor 3-5 at level proximal phalanx

24
Q

Superficial digital flexor to

A

middle phalanx 2-5

25
Q

Deep digital flexor to

A

distal phalanx 2-5 passing through manica flexoria of superficial digital flexor

26
Q

Flexor tendons run over the

A

palmar sesamoids

27
Q

Interosseus muscle masses

A
  • Between MCs and DDF
  • Origin is proximal MCs
  • Insertion is proximal phalanx via palmar sesamoids
  • Also tendon to CDE
28
Q

Interosseus muscle masses action

A

action; flexor of MC-phalangeal joints and retraction of claw

29
Q

Main difference Hind paw dorsal muscles and tendons

A
  • Main difference is instead of common digital extensor is called long digital extensor
  • Long digital extensor goes down to distal phalanx 2-5
  • Dorsal sesamoids same as forepaw
  • Lateral digital extensor goes down to tendon of long digital extensor at level of middle phalanx
30
Q

claws of dogs Distal phalanx surrounded by

A

laminar dermis
Sensitive, bleeds

31
Q

Sole

A

ventral part of claw; Crumbly and white

32
Q

claw of cat

A
  • Long and short elastic ligaments
  • Extended using digital muscle mass
33
Q

claws of dogs extended by action of

A

DDF
