what are the vertebral regions
cervical
thoracic
lumbar
sacral
coccygeal
ribs
flat bones that form lateral walls of the thorax
dorsal head of the ribs articulate with
the thoracic vertebrae
costal cartilage
ventral ends of the ribs
costochondral junction
area where costal cartilage meets bony rib
costal cartilages joint the
sternum or the costal cartilage ahead of them
floating ribs
cartilage doesn’t join anything at all
often end in the muscles of the thoracic wall
sternum
breastbone
forms floor of thorax
composed of sternebrae
manubrium sterni
most cranial sternebra
xiphoid process
most caudal sternebra

scapula
humerus
radius
ulna
carpal bone (carpus)
metacarpal bone
phalanges
scapula
flat, triangle bone
forms portion of shoulder joint
spine of the scapula
longitudinal ridge on lateral surface
glenoid cavity
shallow, concave articular surface
humerus
long bone of the brachium
forms portion of the shoulder and elbow joint
tubercles

trochlea
condyle
articulates with ulna
capitulum
condyle
articulates with radius
olecranon fossa
indentation above condyle

ulna
consists of olecranon process
trochlear notch
anconeal and coronoid processes
olecranon process of ulna
point of elbow

trochlear notch
concave articular surface
radius
main weight bearing bone of the antebrachium
aticulates with humerus and ulna
styloid process artiuclates with carpus
carpus
two row of carpal bones
radial carpal bone
proximal row bones
metacarpal bones
extend distally from distal carpal bones to proximal phalanges
horses metacarpal bones
one metacarpal bone (cannon bone)
two smaller vestigial metacarpal bones (splint bones)- non weight bearing

middle phalanx bone
short pastern bone
distal phalanx
coffin bone
bovine limb phalanges
4 digits on each limb
2 support weight

each digit has a proximal, middle, and distal phalanx
proximal distal sesamoid bones
canine and feline thoracic limb phalanges
digit 1- dewclaw
2-5 proximal, middle and distal phalanx
ungual process
ungual process
surrounds the claw on distal phalanx
pelvis
3 fused bones (ilium, ischium, and pubis)
pelvic symphysis
cartilaginous joint between the 2 halves of the pelvis
lilum
projects in dorsocranial direction
forms sacroiliac joint with the sacrum
ischium
caudal most pelvic bone
forms caudal portion of the pelvic floor
pubis
forms cranial portion of the pelvic floor
femur
proximal end forms part of hip joint
femoral head fits deeply into acetabulum of pelvis
trochanters
shaft extends downward to form the stifle joint with patella and tibia
articular surfaces: 2 condyles and trochlea
Trochanters
process where hip and thigh muscles attach
trochlea
articular groove containing the patella
patella
large sesamoid boneformed int eh distal tendon of the quadriceps femoris muscle
protects the tendon
fabellae
