25
What region do the Epaxial muscles sit?
Lumbar
26
What structure runs in-between the Epaxial muscles?
The DORSAL aspect of the Spine | Specifically = mainly Cervical > Thoracic > Lumbar (Ends around Sacral?)
27
What can the Epaxial muscles be used for?
IM injections
28
What is the largest muscle group on the Hindlimb?
Biceps Femoris!
29
Where is Biceps Femoris on the dog?
The Lateral-distal aspect of the Hindlimb
30
Where does the Gastrocnemius follow up from, on the Hindlimb?
From the Calcaneus | Dorsal aspect..
31
What is another word for the Achilles tendon?
The Calcaneus tendon!
32
Is the Achilles cranial to the Calcaneus?
Yes! | Distal ## Footnote Hindlimb
33
What are the 2 aspects/directional terms used to describe the FRONT paw called?
1. Dorsal = on top 1. Palmar = underneath
34
What are the 2 aspects/directional terms used to describe the HIND paw called?
1. Dorsal = on top 1. Plantar = underneath
35
What fossa does the Femur sit in?
The Acetabular fossa
36
What part of the Femur sits in the Acetabular fossa?
The Head of the Femur
37
Define 'Trochanter' of the Femur
* Trochanter = One of the bony prominences toward the near end of the thighbone (the femur). * There are two aspects of the Femur = The Greater trochanter + Lesser Trochanter * The Greater trochanter is a process on the lateral part of the proximal extremity of femur. * It is the attachment for medial, accessory and deep gluteal muscles.
38
What portion of the body is the Trochanter located?
Hind / Caudal | Limbs
39
What portion of the body is Brachii located?
Front / Cranial | Limbs
40
Define the term 'Extrinsic'
Superficial | External
41
Define the term 'Intrinsic'
Deep | Within
42
Define the term 'Protraction'
Forwards
43
Define the term 'Retraction'
Backwards
44
Define the term 'Extensor'
Cranial
45
Define the term 'Flexor'
Caudal
46
Define the term 'Axial'
Towards the Axis
47
Define the term 'Abaxial'
Away from the Axis
48
Is the Cephalic vein located in the front or hind limbs?
Front
49
Use 2 directional terms to describe the location of the Cephalic vein on the forelimb
The Medial + Distal aspect of the forelimb
50
State the 4 main uses for the Cephalic vein
1. Introduction of Catheters 1. Taking blood samples 1. Injecting IV medications 1. Injecting sedation for vairous procedures
51
What directional term is important to use when talking about the Jugular veins?
You guessed it, they're Bilateral!
52
What veins sit eitherside of the trachea, bilaterally?
The Jugular veins
53
What inlet do the Jugular veins enter?
The Thoracic inlet
54
Where are the Saphenous veins located?
On the DISTAL aspect of the hindlimbs, LATERALLY
55
If you feel down the armpit, into the medial part of the forelimb, what major artery should be found here?
The Brachial artery! | Distal ## Footnote Medial
56
Why should you not administer an IM injection into the Saphenous vein?
Because the Sciatic nerve runs straight behind it
57
What bone does the Sciatic nerve run across the length of?
The femur
58
What lateral vein can be used for blood sampling in the hindlimb?
The lateral saphenous vein
59
Where can the lateral saphenous vein be easily palpated?
Lateral aspect of the hock ## Footnote Remember = Hock = Calcaneous
60
What is the Dorsal Pedal artery most commonly used for?
Blood sampling
61
If you're finding it difficult to collect a sample from the dorsal pedal artery, especially in small dogs + cats, what other site could you use?
The femoral artery
62
Where can you easily palpate the Dorsal Pedal artery?
Just distal to the Hock (Tarsus) + between the 2nd + 3rd metatarsal bones | HINDLIMB
63
Where can you easily palpate the Femoral artery?
On the medial aspect of the thigh + Ventral to the inguinal region + Proximal to the stifle
64
Why are the Jugular veins more preffered over other peripheral veins, for venous blood sampling?
Because it minimizes the potential for cell damage, in comparison to the other peripheral veins
65
What 3 veins are preffered for venous sampling?
1. Jugular vein 1. Cephalic vein 1. Lateral saphenous vein
