EXAM ONE Flashcards
(180 cards)
injury to what would result in the sub or full luxation of the carpometacarpal joint?
injury to palmar carpal fibrocartilage
cause of carpal laxity syndrome
over or under supplemented diets, poor footing, improper exercise in pupies
what nerve innervates the flexors of the carpus
median and ulnar nerves
what nerve innervates the extensors of the carpus
radial
Blocks the superficial branches of the radial nerve, median nerve, and the dorsal and palmar branches of the ulnar nerve.
ring block (onchiectomy nerve block)
what bone is removed in a declawing
3rd distal phalange
most important foot pad for weight bearing
metacarpal pads
Which growth plates contribute to the growth of the radius and ulna the most?
distal growth plate
Which bone continues to grow when premature closure of the distal ulnar physis occurs? This causes carpal valgus.
radius
Where does the median nerve and brachial artery pass through the humerus in cats?
Supra-condyloid formamen
Which humeral growth plate contributes about 80% of growth to the humerus?
proximal
what are the main elbow extensors
triceps (4 heads)
what are the elbow flexors
biceps brachii
brachialis
what’s wrong here
un united anconeal process
what clinical symptoms might be seen with an un united anconeal process
forelimb lameness
stiffness getting up, soreness after activity
elbow painful upon manipulation
what’s the issue here
un united anconeal process
what’s wrong here
fragmented medial coronoid process
what’s wrong here
fragmented medial coronoid process
what’s wrong here
fragmented medial coronoid process
what’s wrong here
incomplete ossification of the humeral condyle (IOHC)
condyle fails to fuse, lateral and medial sides are seperated by a fibrous band
what’s wrong here
luxated elbow - collateral ligaments have torn
what’s wrong here (hint: 2 things)
proximal 1/3 of ulna fracture and luxation of the head of the radius, caused by torn annular ligament
what’s wrong here
broken olecranon process (Monteggia fracture)
common in cats that are hit from behind
what nerve innervates the elbow flexors (biceps brachii)
musculocutaneous n
