Q

Deep digital flexor

A

Also a check ligament, distal or accessory check is much larger than the proximal.
Distal originates from the palmar capsule of carpus & intersects w main tendon - proximal 3rd of metacarpus

16
Q

Medial palmar artery

A

Run deep and inclines to midline (axially) and gains midline
Splits symmetrically just above the fetlock into digital arteries

17
Q

Termination of digital arteries

A

Entering solar canal and anastomosing in the terminal arch

18
Q

Nerves of thoracic limb

A

In horses and cows, the median and musculocutanous nerves run together

19
Q

What pathogenesis occurs if suprascapular nerve is damaged?

A

Sweeney = atrophy of Supra and infra scapular muscles

20
Q

Nerves distal to the carpus

A

Mainly median and ulnar - primarily sensory nerves (no muscles distal to carpus)

21
Q

Ulnar nerve

A

Distal to carpus - sensory

22
Q

Median nerve

A

Main supply to distal limb, divides into medial and lateral palmar nerves

23
Q

Med/lat palmar metacarpal nerve

A

Both arise near carpus from a small branch of the lateral palmar nerve

24
Q

Medial and lateral Palmer digital nerves

A

Continuation of the respective palmar nerves
Each have dorsal branches to fetlock & pastern region

25
Q

Interosseous tendon in cow

A

The equivalent of the suspensory ligament of the horse. More muscular in composition in the calf

26
Q

Weight distribution on hoof/claw

A

Medial claw bears majority in thoracic limb
Lateral claw bears majority of weight in hind limb (80%)

27
Q

Carpus, metacarpus and digits in cow

A

6 carpal bones
2 weight bearing metacarpal bones (III and IV)
2 weight bearing digits
4 proximal and 2 distal sesamoid bones

28
Q

Dewclaws

A

Not bones

29
Q

Extensors in ruminant thoracic limb

A

Lateral digital extensor
Common digital extensor
Medial digital extensor

30
Q

Importance of interdigital ligaments

A

Holds claws together

31
Q

Bier block

A

Use of dorsal commo digital vein III for regional anesthesia in bovine

32
Q

Modified interosseous muscle in horses

A

= suspensory ligament
Lies on palmar surface of MC III, between MC II and MC IV (splint bones)

33
Q

Extensor branches in equine

A

Pass dorsally from each side, medial & lateral to attach to the extensor process of p3

34
Q

Job of suspensory ligament

A

Helps prevent hyper extension of fetlock joint

35
Q

Distal sesamoidean ligaments

A

Superficial, straight, I
Middle, oblique, V
Deep, cruciate, X

36
Q

Ligaments of the digital sesamoid bone

A

suspensory ligament of the digital sesamoid bone
distal sesamoid impair ligament
Lateral collateral ligament of pastern joint
lateral collateral ligament of coffin joint
lateral collateral ligament of navicular bone

37
Q

Position of palmar annular ligament of the fetlock

A

Abaxial side of one proximal sesamoid over the other

38
Q

Location of digital annular ligaments

A

Proximal digital annular ligament X shaped

39
Q
