What are the functions of the "skeleton"?

100

A broad, flat tendon sheet-like union. 

What is an "aponeurosis"?

100

The 1st vertebrae is known as this, while the 2nd vertebrae is known as the other. 

What is the "atlas", and what is the "axis"?

100

2 pairs of thoracic, 2 pairs of abdominal, and 1 pair of inguinal (8 - 12 total)

How many mammae are in the dog?

100

Sites for bone marrow biopsy in large breeds

Illiac crest

Ribs

Sternebrae

200

The head, vertebral column, sternum, ribs, and hyoid apparatus. 

What are examples "axial" limbs?

200

Sacroiliac, hip, stifle, tarsal (hock), fetlock, and digital 

What are the joints of the "pelvic limb"?

200

Articulation through muscles (i.e. girdle muscles). Also known as conventional joint. 

What is "synsarcosis"?

200
The cephalic vein, the external jugular vein, the lateral saphenous vein, and the femoral vein. 

What are the sites of "venipuncture"?

200

List the muscles acting on the hip joint

Iliopsoas

Gracilis 

Adductor

Internal obturator

Semimebranosus 

Semitendinous


300

The caudal, cranial, & dorsal borders, the spine, the acromion, and the supraglenoid tubercle. 

What are the "palpable" structures of the scapula?

300

Locomotion (movement), Movement, Stimulation, Prevent unwanted movements, Posture, Respiration, Circulation, Alimentation, Child birth, Indication of emotional states, Generate heat by shivering, and Control of body openings & passages (maintain continence)

What are the functions of "skeletal muscle"?

300

Medial patella luxation often seen in these breeds, while lateral patella luxation often seen in these breeds. 

What are "small breeds", and what are "large breeds"?  

300

Slings the body between the forelimb (i.e. serratus ventralis & deep pectorals).

What is are the functions of the "extrinsic muscles"?

300

Muscles of the gluteal group and their function 

Superficial gluteal-extensor of hip 

Middle gluteal-Powerful extensor of hip, major player.

Deep gluteal- Can't extend hip, abduction of limb. 

400

Bones that are differentiated directly into fibrous connective tissue (i.e. skull / face).

What are "intramembranous" bones?

400

Muscles such as these can be found in the pharynx, esophagus, and skin. An example of this is the "cutaneous trunci". 

What are examples of "skeletal muscle" not attached to a bone? 

400

They have no joint space, bones united through dense connective tissue, types include: sutures, gomphosis, and syndesmoses.

What is a "fibrous joint"?

400
The sternocephalicus, sternohyoideus, and sternothyroideus muscles.

What are the muscles that do not belong to the synsarcosis, intrinsic, or extrinsic groups?

400

Borders of the femoral triangle and its importance

Borders: Pectineus (Caudal) Sartorius (cranial) Iliopsoas (craniodorsal). 

Is the first choice for evaluation of the circulation. Femoral vein is a convenient for I/V injections. Must be cautious there are many nerve endings here. 

500

Long bones (humerus & femur), short bones (carpal & tarsal), flat bones (scapula & skull), irregular bones (vertebrae), and sesamoid bones (patella)

What are the "shape" classifications of bones with examples?

500

The biceps brachii muscle, extrinsic muscles, and all synsarcosis muscles are examples. 

What are examples of "fixator" type muscles? 

500

These ligaments are torn during hyperextension, while these ligaments are torn during hyperflexion. 

What are "cranial cruciate ligaments", and what are "caudal cruciate ligaments"? 

500

The flexor carpi radialis, the flexor carpi ulnaris, the superficial digital flexor, and the deep digital flexor muscles. 

What are the flexors of the "carpal & digital joints"?
