Clinical Considerations
Developmental defect affecting young large breeds where MCP ails to attach to the ulna
(FMCP) Fragmented Medial Coronoid Process
This sternum originating muscle pulls the larynx caudally
sternothyroideus
Axial to axial is the path of these three muscles
sternohyoideus, sternocephalicus, sternothyroideus
Synovial joints are characterized this structure that intervenes between bones
fluid filed cavity
Flat, sesamoid, long, short, and irregular.
Shapes of bones
No weight bearing lameness, caused by severe trauma, and will carry the elbow flexed
Elbow dislocation
Infraspinatus, Subscapularis, and Coracobrachialis share these functions.
Stabilize and support the shoulder joint
Pertaining to all the joints in the thoracic limb, flexed is to retraction as this is the protraction
extended
These articulate bones together, allow movement, and unite bones firmly.
Joints
This sesamoid bone is easily misinterpreted as a chip fracture in radiographs
Clavicle (The sexiest bone)
Arthrocentesis of the midcarpal and carpalmetacarpal joints uses the dorsally palpable space between these two bones
second and third carpal bones
The Triceps Brachii uses all 4 of these named heads to extend the elbow.
Lateral, Long, Medial, Accessory
In order for a joint to receive an action from a muscle the muscle must do this.
cross the joint
The pivot portion of the elbow joint offers this range of motion.
rotation
The scalpular spine and the supraglenoid tubercle can be palpated in this way.
Deep
Rupture of this muscle displaces the scapula dorsally during weight bearing and walking
Serratus Ventralis
This is both an elbow extensor and a shoulder flexor
Triceps Bachii
The cutaneous trunci bears these additional names when found on the face and near the prepuce.
platysma + preputial muscle
These two joint types do not allow for movement
fibrous and cartilaginous
This joint is formed by the articulation of the humerus and the scapula.
Shoulder
Arthrocentesis on the shoulder joint requires insertion between these palpable structures.
acromion & (humeral) greater tubercle
Superficial muscle involved in advancing the limb and lateral movement of the neck and originates from the distal scapular spine.
Omotransversarius
How the animal moves
progression
This level of articulation in the carpal joint has its own joint cavity that doesn't communicate with the other two.
Antebachio-carpal
These three bone types make up the manus.
Carpal, Metacarpal, Phalanges
