dorsal pedal
34
instead of separate superficial gluteal and biceps femoris muscles, the bovine has a _____ muscle
gluteobiceps
35
what muscle is absent in the equine hindlimb?
fibulas/peroneus longus m.
36
the most cranial palpable muscle of the equine pelvic limb is the _____ muscle
long digital extensor
37
deep to the cunean tendon of the horse is the ____
cunean bursa
38
what muscle attaches to the tibial tuberosity
cranial tibial
39
the function of the reciprocal apparatus is to make sure that the _____ and ____ flex at the same time
stifle and hock
40
the most cranial palpable muscle of the bovine pelvic limb is the ___ muscle
fibulas tertius
41
horses have ____ patellar ligaments/tendons
3
42
the ____ blends with the fibers of the medial meniscus of the stifle
medial collateral ligament
43
actions of the long digital extensor muscle in the horse
flex hock, extend digit, fix stifle in the stay apparatus
44
the fibularis tertius of the horse originates from the ___ of the femur
extensor fossa
45
together, the ___ and ___ muscles form the reciprocal apparatus
fibulas tertius and superficial digital flexor
46
the ligament that attaches at the cranial aspect of the tibia of the stifle and keeps the tibia from moving cranial with respect to the femur is the _____
cranial cruciate ligament
47
the sensitive lamina is the ____
laminar dermis
48
the coronary epidermis produces the _______
stratum medium
49
what is the concave, bottom part of the foot facing the ground, spanning between the frog and the wall
sole
50
the white line on the bottom of the hoof indicates there the ____ interdigitated with the stratum internum of the hoof wall
laminar corium/dermis
51
what is the most cranial palpable muscle of the crus?
long digital extensor
52
what makes the equine sartorius m. different?
it only has one head
53
long digital extensor m. attachments
extensor fossa of the femur, extensor process of P3, and dorsal proximal surface of P1 and P2
54
long digital extensor m. action
extend digit, flex hock, fix stifle in stay apparatus
55
cranial tibial m. attachments
just deep to long digital extensor m. lateral tibial condyle, tibial tuberosity, proximal MT
56
cranial tibial m. action
flex the hock
57
fibularis tertius m. attachments
behaves more like a tendon, very little muscle on the surface extensor fossa of the femur, proximal MT III, calcaneus
58
fibularis tertius m. action
as part of the reciprocal apparatus, it flexes the hock when the stifle joint is flexed
59
lateral digital extensor m. attachments
a bit more substantial than in small animal lateral collateral ligament, fibula, lateral tibia, interosseus ligament, joins with long digital extensor
60
lateral digital extensor m. action
assists long digital extensor in flexing hock and extending digit
61
gastrocnemius m. attachments
medial and lateral supracondyloid tuberosity
62
gastrocnemius m. action
extend the hock and flex the surface
63
superficial digital flexor m. attachments
suprachondyloid fossa of the femur, calcanea tuber, P1 and P2 of digits
64
superficial digital flexor m. action
flex digit, extend hock
65
reciprocal apparatus
relationship between the stifle and the hock the fibularis tertius and the superficial digital flexor form the reciprocal apparatus
66
patellar ligament
horses have 3 total ligaments/tendons
67
cruciate ligaments
2 ligaments one on cranial surface and one on caudal surface
68
cranial cruciate
most commonly ruptured, keeps tibia in place
69
caudal cruciate
less involved in injury
70
menisci
fibrocartilaginous discs that form a saucer in which condyles of the femur articulate the medial meniscus is frequently damaged at the same time as cranial cruciate ligament
71
collateral ligaments
stabilize the joint from horizontal movement
