Unit 1 Flashcards
(97 cards)
where is the fovea dentis located
on the dorsal surface of the ventral arch
what passes through the transverse foramina of cervical vertebra
vertebral vessels and nerves
what passes through the alar foramen of cervical vertebra
vertebral artery and ventral branch of the first cervical spinal nerve
what passes through the lateral vertebral foramen of C1
vertebral artery and the first cervical spinal nerve
what passes through the lateral vertebral foramen of C2
the second cervical nerve
cranial articular processes are directed
dorsomedially
caudal articular processes are directed
ventrolaterally
transverse foramina are in what cervical vertebra in the horse
C1-C6
Transverse foramina are in what cervical vertebra in the ruminant
C2-C6
what can be used as a landmark for radiographs using C6
ventral tubercle (lamina) of the transverse processes of c6 are more extensive
what vertebra has a caudal costal fovea
C7
C7 transverse process
undivided and usually does not have a transverse foramen
what is a dewlap
penulous skin fold located alon gthe ventral apsect of the neck
what are wattles
elongated skin appendages located in the throat region
the dewlap and wattles are likely involved in what
thermoregulation
wattles are most commonly found in
goats
what are the attachments of the cutaneous colli (only prominent in horse)
manubrium; superficial cervical fascia to ventral midline
what is the function of cutaneous colli
tightens and moves the skin on the ventral surface of the neck
what are the actions of the brachiocephalicus
- when the head and neck are fixed, drawing the limb cranially and thus extending the shoulder joint.
- when right and left muscles act separately, bending the head and neck to the side
what is the function of cleidooccipitalis in the ruminant
advances the limb cranially and raises the head
what are the attachments of the cleidooccipitalis
clavicular intersection; nuchal line of the skull and funicular nuchal ligament
cleidomastoideus attachments
mastoid process and clavicular intersection
what is the function of the cleidomastoideus in the ruminant
draws the limb cranially and draws the head ventrally or laterally
what is the function of the cleidobrachialis
draws the limb cranially
