TOPIC 21A - ART FEMOROTIBIALIS + MEDIAL MUSCLES OF THIGH Flashcards
what articulations form the stifle joint?
art femerotibialis + art femeropatellaris
what type of articulation is art femerotibialis?
art duplex, condylaris, biaxial
what are the 2 structures that help compensate for incongruency?
2 menisci
where are the menisci located?
btw each femoral condyle + tibia
name the 2 membrana present in the joint capsule
membrana fibrosa
membrana synoviales
what does the membrana fibrosa do?
attaches to articular surfaces + menisci (encloses condyles)
what does membrana synoviales do?
cover the cruciate ligaments
forms a partition between med + lat art femerotibialis
in which species is this partition only complete in?
eq
name the 2 joint pouches of art femerotibialis lat
rec. subextensorius
rec. subpopliteus
what does rec. subextensorius do?
ensheaths the tendon of m. ext. dig. longus
what does the rec. subpopliteus do?
ensheaths the tendon of origin of popliteus
list the ligaments of the menisci (4)
lig transversum genus
lig tibiale cran menisci lat + med

what species is lig transversum genus not present in?
eq + bo
where is lig transversum genus located?
connects the cranial parts of the left + right menisci
where is lig tibiale cran menisci lat + med located?

where is lig tibiale caud menisci lat located?
incisura poplitea
where is lig tibiale caud menisci med located?
area intercondylaris caudalis
where is lig meniscofemorale located?

list the ligaments of art femerotibialis (4)
lig collaterale lat + med
lig cruciatum cran
lig cruciatum caud
lig popliteum obliquum
where is lig collaterale lat located?
o: lateral epicondyle of femur
i: head of fibula + a lesser part on lat condyle of tibia
what runs under lig collateralle lat?
tendon of m. popliteus
where is lig collaterale med located?
o: medial epicondyle of femur
i: distally on medial condyle of tibia + medial meniscus
where is lig cruciatum cranial located (Eq + Car)?
o: lat fem condyle
i: area intercondylaris cranialis (Car)
area intercondylaris centralis (Eq)
where is lig cruciatum caudale located?
o: med fem condyle
i: area intercondylaris caudalis
where is lig popliteum obliquum located?
caudal wall of the joint capsule
med fem condyle –> caudal end of lateral condyle
list the medial muscles of the thigh
m. sartorius
m. gracilis
m. adductor
m. pectinous
