Unit 1 Flashcards
where is the fovea dentis located
on the dorsal surface of the ventral arch
what passes through the transverse foramina of cervical vertebra
vertebral vessels and nerves
what passes through the alar foramen of cervical vertebra
vertebral artery and ventral branch of the first cervical spinal nerve
what passes through the lateral vertebral foramen of C1
vertebral artery and the first cervical spinal nerve
what passes through the lateral vertebral foramen of C2
the second cervical nerve
cranial articular processes are directed
dorsomedially
caudal articular processes are directed
ventrolaterally
transverse foramina are in what cervical vertebra in the horse
C1-C6
Transverse foramina are in what cervical vertebra in the ruminant
C2-C6
what can be used as a landmark for radiographs using C6
ventral tubercle (lamina) of the transverse processes of c6 are more extensive
what vertebra has a caudal costal fovea
C7
C7 transverse process
undivided and usually does not have a transverse foramen
what is a dewlap
penulous skin fold located alon gthe ventral apsect of the neck
what are wattles
elongated skin appendages located in the throat region
the dewlap and wattles are likely involved in what
thermoregulation
wattles are most commonly found in
goats
what are the attachments of the cutaneous colli (only prominent in horse)
manubrium; superficial cervical fascia to ventral midline
what is the function of cutaneous colli
tightens and moves the skin on the ventral surface of the neck
what are the actions of the brachiocephalicus
- when the head and neck are fixed, drawing the limb cranially and thus extending the shoulder joint.
- when right and left muscles act separately, bending the head and neck to the side
what is the function of cleidooccipitalis in the ruminant
advances the limb cranially and raises the head
what are the attachments of the cleidooccipitalis
clavicular intersection; nuchal line of the skull and funicular nuchal ligament
cleidomastoideus attachments
mastoid process and clavicular intersection
what is the function of the cleidomastoideus in the ruminant
draws the limb cranially and draws the head ventrally or laterally
what is the function of the cleidobrachialis
draws the limb cranially
omotransversarius attachments in the horse
(adhered to cleidomastoideus); shoulder fascia (horse does not have acromion) and transverse processes of c1-c4
omotransversarius attachments in the ruminants
acromion of scapula and wing of atlas (also partially attaches to the transverse process of the axis)
what is the function of the omotransversarius
draws the limb cranially and bends the neck to the side
what is the function of the sternomandibularis in the horse
flexes the head and neck and bends the head and neck to the side
what is the function of the sternomastoideus in the ox and goat
fix and draw the head and neck ventraly
what separates the jugular vein from the carotid sheath in the ox and goat (cranial neck)
the sternomastoideus
what are the attachments of the sternomandibularis in the ox
rostral border of the masseter muscle, ventral border of the mandible, and depressor labii inferioris muscle
what are the attachments of the sternomandibularis in the goat
zygomatic arch and lateral surface of the masseter muscle
what is the function of the sternomandibularis
flexes the head and neck
what is the function of the sternomastoideus in the sheep
fix and draw the head and neck ventrally
what are the attachments of the omohyoideus m in the horse
subscapular fascia near the shoulder joint and inserts on the lingual process of the basihyoid bone
what are the attachments of the omohyoideus in ruminants
deep cervical fascia near 3rd or 4th cervical vertebra and basihyoid bone
what is the function of the omohyoideus
draws the hyoid apparatus caudally
what is the attachment of the sternohyoideus
basihyoid bone
