differentiate ungulate, artiodactyla, and perrisoddactyla
ungulate: hooved animal
artiodactyla: even numbered toes
perrisodactyla: odd numbered toes
define raphe.
connective tissue strip that separates paired muscles lying against or originating from the midline;wheremuscleandaponeurosismeet
define aponeurosis.
thin sheath of connective tissue that helps connect muscle to bone
what is the difference between the axial and appendicular skeleon
axial: trunk
appendicular: limbs
describe the joint space for the shoulder.
proximal and caudal to the greater tubercule of the humerus; scapular spine roughly point toward the joint
describe the joint space for the elbow.
joint is distal to the olecranon process of the ulna
describe the joint space for the hip.
measure tuber coxae to the ischial tuberosity and the joint is just ventral to this line, cranial to greater trochanter, roughly 2/3 distance to ischial tuberosity
describe the joint space for the stifle.
joint is located between femoral condyle/patella and tibia tuberosity
describe the joint space for the hock.
tuber calcanei is proximal to the joint - joint location distal to calcaneus
distinguish between guard hairs, wool, tactile hairs, and long hairs.
guard hair: outer, primary hairs, coat color, long or short
wool: secondary hairs, fine/wavy, some breeds have abundant wool and no guard (sheep)
tactile: sinus hairs, whiskers, or vibrissae, root of tactile hair associated with blood sinus and sensory innervation, “sensory organ”, location can be lips, chin, cheek, periocular or carpal
long hairs: equine only, specific location (forelock, mane, tail, fetlock)
difference between chestnuts and ergots.
chestnuts: vestigial carpal and tarsal footpads located on the medial limbs of equidea; proximal to carpus in the forelimb and distal to tarsus in hindlimb
ergots: vestigial pad found on the palmar (forelimb) and plantar (hindlimb) aspect of the fetlock

mare: 2 glands
doe: 2 glands
ewe: 2 glands
what is the difference between superficial and deep fascia
