Bicep femoris

Semitendonous

Semimembranous

Gracilis

SDF

3
New cards

Bicep femoris

Extends @ hip level

Flex @ stifle level

Site of IM injection

4
New cards

Semitendenous

Extend @ hip level

Flex @ stilfe level

Extend @ tarsal (hock) level

Site of IM injection

5
New cards

Semimembranous

Extend @ hip level

Flec @ stifle level

Site of IM injection

6
New cards

Common Calcaneal tendon

Comprised of the tendonds of the hamstring

7
New cards

Hock

Large animal term for the tarsal joint

8
New cards

Stifle muscles

Quadriceps femoris

Popliteus

Grastocnemius

Site of arthrocentesis

9
New cards

Quadriceps femoris

4 heads

Major extensor of the stifle

Major weight support - limb will lelevate when injured

10
New cards

Syngergists of the quad. femoris

Bicep

Cranial sartorius

Tendon fasciae

11
New cards

Popliterus

Stifle flexor & rotates the crus

12
New cards

Grastrocnemuis

Flex the stifle, extend the tarsal, stabilizes the stifle

Contains 2 sesamoid bones

13
New cards

Craniolateral muscles of the tarsal & digital joints

Cranial tibial

Long digital extensor (LDE)

Peroneus/Fibularis longus

14
New cards

Cranial tibial

Flexes the tarsal joint

Similar to extensor carpi in forelimb

15
New cards

Long Digital Extensor

Flexes the tarsus

Extend the digits

16
New cards

Peroneus/Fibularus longus

Flexes the tarsus

17
New cards

Caudal muscles of the tarsal & digital joints

Gastrocnemius

Superficial digital flexor

Deep digital flexorG

18
New cards

Gastrocnemius

Prime function is to stabilize due to positioning between stifle and hock

19
New cards

Superficial digital flexor

Flexes the digits

Inserts on phalanx 2

20
New cards

Deep digital flexor

Flexes the digits

Inserts on phalanx 3

21
New cards

Which tendons are transected to de-claw an animal?

Dorsal elastic ligament & Deep digital flexor tendon

22
New cards

Tarsal arthrocentesis

Best acheived on craniomedial, craniolateral, caudo-lateral, and caudo-medial pouches

Cranial collateral ligaments or fibula lateral malleolus as landmarks

23
New cards

What muscles are encountered during surgery of the hip joint?

1st layer: Tensor fasciae latae, middle gluteal, superficial gluteal, biceps femoris

2nd layer: deep gluteal, vastus lateralis

24
New cards

Commonly fractured bone of the cruz

Femur

Well protected by thigh muscles, clinically manifests as hyper-flexion

25
New cards

Tibial fracture clinical manifestation

Hyperflexion of the stifle

26
New cards

Venipuncture sites

External jugular vein

Cephalic veins

Medial saphenous

Lateral saphenous
