32
Q

what are the components of the shoulder joint

A
  1. glenoid cavity of scapula –> concave
  2. head of humerus –> convex
33
Q

what are the palpable landmarks for the shoulder joint

A

acromion process (scapula)

greater tubercle (humerus)

34
Q

what is the bicipital bursa

A

joint capsule extends into intertubercular groove –> between greater and lesser tubercles

wraps around tendon of origin of biceps brachii

35
Q

how is the bicipital bursa held in place

A

by transverse ligament

36
Q

what is the lateral support of the shoulder joint

A
  1. supraspinatus muscle (supraspinous fossa)
  2. infraspinatus muscle (infraspinous fossa)
37
Q

what is the insertion of the supraspinatous and infraspinatous muscle

A

proximal lateral humerus

38
Q

what is the nerve supply of the supraspinatous and infraspinatous muscle

A

suprascapular nerve

39
Q

what is the medial support of the shoulder joint

A

subscapularis muscle (subscapularis fossa)

40
Q

what is the insertion of the subscapularis muscle

A

proximal medial humerus

41
Q

what is the nerve supply of the subscapularis muscle

A

subscapular nerve

42
Q

what is osteochondrosis

A

developmental disease

erosion of articular cartilage & subchondral bone

43
Q

what is degenerative joint disease

A

new bone formation

around osteochondral junction

characteristic locations on radiographs –> painful while forming

caused by wear and tear

44
Q

what region is the radius & ulna in

A

antebrachium

45
Q

what types of bone are the radius and ulna

A

long bone (paired)

46
Q

which is weight bearing between the radius and ulna

A

radius

47
Q

what is located on the head of the radius

A

articular surface for elbow joint

48
Q

what is located on the distal end of the radius

A

articular surface for carpus

49
Q

what is the features of the ulna

A

longer than radius –> provides leverage

50
Q

what are the anatomical features of the ulna

A
  1. olecranon process
  2. anconeal process
  3. trochlear notch
  4. lateral coronoid process
  5. medial coronoid process

A

articular surface for elbow joint

covered in hyaline cartilage

53

54
Q

how is the medial coronoid process held in place on the radius and ulna

A

annular ligament

55
Q

what is the styloid process

what are the structures of the radius and ulna

A
57
Q

how are the radius and ulna held together

by ligaments

some rotation possible

58

proximal: ulna most medial projection
distal: ulna most lateral projection

59
Q

what is palpable on the radius and ulna

A

medial & lateral styloid processes palpable

collateral ligaments of carpus

60
Q

how many centres of ossification do the radius and ulna develop from

A

radius –> 3 centres

ulna –> 4 centres (olecranon process, anconeal process, body, distal epiphyses)

61
Q

what are the clinical considerations of the radius and ulna

A

must grow together

physes = weak points

early closure stops bone growth

angular limb deformities

62

what are the compartive features of the radius and ulna

A

cat: square olecranon, radius and ulna similar diameter
pig: 2 complete separate bones
ruminant: 2 complete bones that fuses as animal ages
horse: body of ulna absent, rest is fused

no rotation in large species
