25
Q

What are the degrees of movement in the seperate joints of the carpus?

A

Antebrach. - very mobile (90 degrees)
Midcarpal - somewhat mobile (45 degrees)
Carpomet. - no movement

26
Q

What ligaments occur in the carpus?

A

dorsal carpus

palmar carpus

27
Q

What do the dorsal short ligaments do?

A

Join neighboring bones in each row, to the metacarpus

28
Q

What animal has well-developed medial and lateral collateral ligaments in their carpal joints?

A

Ungulates

29
Q

What ligaments occur in the palmar carpus?

A

Deep palmar, superficial/transverse, and distal ligaments of accessory bone

30
Q

What is the positioning the the deep palmar ligaments?

A

covers entire palmar surface of skeleton, hides unevenness of the bones

31
Q

What do superficial and transverse ligaments contribute to?

A

carpal canal

32
Q

What is the purpose of the carpal canal?

A

conveys the flexor tendons and other structures continuing into foot from antebrachium

33
Q

What is the path of the superficial/transverse ligament?

A

Passes obliquely accessory carpal bone to medial aspect of carpus

34
Q

What do the distal ligaments of the accessory bone do?

A

Assist in preventing overextension, doesn’t interfere with flexion

35
Q

What is the path of the distal ligament of accessory bone?

A

Join bone to the adjacent carpal and metacarpal bones

36
Q

What muscles does the radial nerve innervate?

A

All carpal and digital extensors, including ulnaris lateralis

37
Q

What is the path in the dog of the radial n.?

A

Cutaneous branch descends over craniolateral aspect of antebrachium and carpus, reaches dorsal surface of digits

38
Q

What is the radial nerve in the horse subsituted by in the foot?

A

Musculocutaneous n.

39
Q

What muscles does the median n. innervate?

A

most of the flexor muscles of carpus and digits

40
Q

Where does the median n. enter the forearm?

A

Medial collateral ligament of elbow joint

41
Q

What does the median n. travel deep too?

A

flexor carpi radialis

42
Q

What muscles do the ulnar n. innervate?

A

flexor carpi ulnaris, part of flexor digitorum profundus

43
Q

What is different about the horse ulnar n.?

A

does not unit with median nerve in brachiumq

44
Q

When does the ulnar n. break off from the median n. in dogs?

A

olecranon

45
Q

What branches off the ulnar n. in the brachium?

A

cutaneous antebrachial n.

46
Q

What muscles do the musculocutaneous n. innervate?

A

none in the antebrachium or the carpus

47
Q

What does the musculocutaneous n. do in the antebrachium?

A

medial cutaneous antebrachial n. innervates medial aspect

48
Q

What does the cutaneous branch of the musculocutaneous muscle do?

A

continues past the carpus and to the metacarpophalangeal jt.

49
Q

What is the main blood supply in the antebrachium (4 arteries)?

A

common interosseous a., median a, ulnar a., and radial a.

50
Q

What branches off the median a.?

A

radial a. and deep antebrachial a.

51
Q

What is the positioning of the cephalic v. in the forelimb?

A

follows cranial border of the forearm, lies on the extensor carpi radialis

52
Q

What is the general origin of the craniolateral muscle group?

A

Lateral epicondyle

53
Q

What are the extensor muscles (name wise) of the craniolateral muscle group?

A
