Identify this structure:
ulna
Identify this structure:
epiphysis
Identify this structure:
physis
Identify this structure:
diaphysis
Identify this structure:
apophysis
Identify this structure:
metaphysis
What percent of radial growth is contributed by the proximal radial physis?
40
What percent of radial growth is contributed by the distal radial physis?
60
What is this?
soft tissue fluid
What species is this?
cat, due to the flatter metaphysis; in dogs it is cone shaped
What is this?
a region of apophysis
What is apophysis?
a secondary ossification center, does not contribute to long bone growth, tendons/ligaments often attach here
At what age does the supraglenoid tubercle apophysis fuse with the parent bone in the canine?
4-7 months
What is the order of fusion for the apophysis of the greater tubercle?
apophysis to epiphysis, then ephiphysis to metaphysis, then apophysis to metaphysis
Identify this structure:
olecranon fossa
Identify this structure:
radial head
Identify this structure:
medial epicondyle
Identify this structure:
anconeal process
Identify this structure:
coronoid
What is this?
physeal scar
Which of these is normal?
the left
What is wrong with the right picture?
