21
Q
saphenous a
A
- comes from caudal surface of femoral a & runs distally on superficial surface of crus
- accompanied by saphenous n. & medial saphenous v.
- divides into cranial & caudal branches near stifle jt
22
Q

A
originates from large femoral n.
-supplies cutaneous sensation to medial side of limb to the paw
23
Q
middle caudal femoral a.
A
- comes from caudal aspect of femoral a.
- supplies distal portions of adductor & semimembranosus mm
24
distal caudal femoral a
- largest of caudal femoral aa.
| - supplies biceps femoris, semitendinosus, semimembranosus, gastrocnemius, & digital flexor mm
25
lateral saphenous v
- large v. on lateral surface of crus
- its cranial branches drain dorsal surface of paw
- good site for venipuncture
26
popliteal a
- what femoral a becomes as it passes b/n medial & lateral heads of gastrocnemius m.
- supplies stifle jt & gastrocnemius & poplieteus mm
27
cranial tibial a
- one part of the termination of the popliteal a.
- passes through the interosseous space to craniolateral surface of tibia
- primary blood supply of paw
28
Lumbosacral plexus
where pelvic limb's nerves come from
29
obturator n
- comes from caudomedial surface of mm ventral to vertebral column
- runs caudodistally along medial surface of shaft of ilium
- supplies adductor, pectineus, gracilis, & obturator mm.
- can be damaged in dystocia in large animals
30
femoral n
- gives off saphenous n
| - supplies all 4 heads of quadriceps femoris m
31
What happens if damage to femoral n. occurs?
- inability to extend stifle jt & thus bear weight
| - if damage occurs b4 saphenous n given off, it will also cause loss of sensation on medial side of hindlimb
32
Cranial gluteal n
innervates middle and deep gluteal mm & tensor fascia latae
33
caudal gluteal n
innervates superficial gluteal m.
34
Sciatic n
- largest n. of pelvic limb
| - innervates biceps femoris, semimebranosus, semitendinosus mm

- innervates craniolateral mm of crus (cranial tibial, long digital extensor, peroneus longus mm)
- splits into superficial & deep nn which innervate dorsal surface of paw
36
Tibial n
- medial branch of sciatic n
- innervates caudal mm of crus (gastrocnemius, superficial & deep digital flexor, and popliteus mm)
- provides sensory info from plantar paw
37
Celiac a
- 1st unpaired a that leaves ventral surface of aorta
| - has 3 branches
38
celiacomesenteric ganglion and plexus
- covers initial portion of celiac a. & root of mesentery
| - autonomic nerve fibers from vagal trunks and sympathetic trunk enter it
39
3 branches of celiac a
1. splenic a
2. left gastric a
3. hepatic a
40
spelnic a

41
left gastric a
2nd branch of celiac a.
| -runs toward lesser omentum near cardia
42
hepatic a
largest branch of celiac a.
| -branches to liver & gall bladder, right side of greater & lesser curvatures, pancreas, & proximal duodenum
43
cranial mesenteric a
- immediately caudal to celiac a
| - supplies duodenum, pancreas, jejunum, ileum, cecum & ascending/ transverse/cranial colons
44
phrenicoabdominal aa.
- leave either side of the aorta & pass laterally dorsal to adrenal glands
- they divide
45
renal aa.
- next aortic branch after phrenicoabdominal aa
- usually 1/kidney & enter at hilus of kidney
- right one comes of cranial to the left one
46
renal vv
- leave hilus of kidney & enter caudal vena cava
| - left renal vein receives blood from left testicular v
47
ovarian a
- leave aorta just caudal to renal aa.
| - run through mesovarium to ovaries
48
uterine branch of ovarian aa.
-continuation of ovarian aa to uterus
49
testicular aa
- leave aorta caudal to renal aa.
| - run caudoventrally in abdominal cavity w/in mesorchium & exit via deep inguinal ring
50
caudal mesenteric a
- smaller unpaired a. that leaves ventral surface of aorta near its end
- runs in descending mesocolon to mesenteric border of descending colon
51
caudal mesenteric ganglion & plexus
-gets fibers from sympathetic trunk
-surrounds caudal mesenteric a.
-2 branches = hypogastric nn.
also supplies sympathetic to descending colon
52
hypogastric nn
supply sympathetic fibers to pelvic viscera
53
deep circumflex iliac aa.
last branches of abdominal aorta
| -supply skin & mm of caudal abdomen & cranial thigh
54
portal vein
- enters visceral surface of the liver
