(63 cards)
In growing bone is easily fractured
Physis
Can be harvested surgically and moved to a fracture site to aid in repair sources include tibial tuberosity greater tubercle of humerus greater trochanter of femur and wing of the ilium
Cancellous bone
Consists of skull vertebrae sternum and ribs
Axial skeleton
Excluding the hyoid bone and mandible is a long four-sided pyramid with dorsal two lateral and ventral surfaces
Skull
Present only in horse and cat between parietal bones rostral to occipital bone in other species fuses before birth
Interparietal bone
Forms the entire roof of the cranium in ox and pig
Frontal bone
Splanchnic bone in the nose of pigs
Rostral bone
Complete in horse and ruminants incomplete in carnivores completed by orbital ligament
Bony orbit
Present only in horses ridge on the lateral surface of the face
Facial crest
Present in ruminants process on the lateral surface of the face
Facial tuberosity
Process of the frontal bone of horned ruminants enclosed by the horn
Cornual process
In ruminants pushed to the lateral side of the skull by the frontal bone
Temporal fossa
In ruminants and pigs joining of the round and orbital foramina of other species
Foramen orbitorotundum
Large air spaces in the skull that communicate with the nasal cavity
Paranasal sinuses
Largest sinus in horses divided into rostral and caudal compartments in cattle has three openings into lacrimal sinus palatine sinus and middle nasal meatus
Maxillary sinus
Paper-thin caudal extent of the maxillary sinus in ruminants
Lacrimal bulla
Located in the dorsal part of the skull in ox and pigs extends to the back of the skull ruminants have additional diverticula
Frontal sinus
In horses formed by the joining of frontal and dorsal conchal sinus
Conchofrontal sinus
Large opening between caudal maxillary sinus and frontal sinus in horses
Frontomaxillary opening
Direct continuation of frontal sinus into cornual process in horned ruminants
Cornual diverticulum
Drilling of holes into paranasal sinus used in removing cheek teeth in horses
Trephination
Inflammation of the paranasal sinuses trephination may be used for drainage
Sinusitis
Located between vertical parts of the rami of the mandibles supports root of tongue pharynx and larynx
Hyoid apparatus
Rostral projection of basihyoid bone present in horse and ox absent in carnivores
Lingual process
