Stratum tectorium
Tell me about the PARALLEL & HORIZONTAL lines involved with the Stratum Tectorium...
Parallel: proximo-distal lines=evidence of direction of growth of horny tubules

Horiz:smooth ridges=evidence in variations in growth of hoof
very thick
Stratum Medium
Where does Stratum Med begin?
-Coronary groove proxim
Stratum Med also bears openings that
accommodate Papillae of underlying dermis
Has tubules & intertubular horn..
Stratum Med
Stratum Med may be pigmented where?
outer layers
Non pigmented layer=
Stratum Internum
Stratum Internum begins where
at the medial part of the coronary groove proximally
like the Strat. Med the Strat. Internum also bears openings accommodating...
papillae of underlying dermis
What does the inner surface of Strat Internum carry?
Keratinized Primary & Non-keratinized secondary laminae
What do the keratinized primary & non-keratinized secondary laminae of the inner surface of the Strat Internum form?
Laminae of the bar...caudally
Condition of a crack in wall of hoof extending proximodistally =
sandcrack
Less serious condition, this is a split in the wall extending proximally from basal border
Grasscrack
the sole is normally ____ & ____
concave & flaky outer surface
Between walls & bars=

Is the sole & frog the same composition as the wall?
Yes
Well what is it composed of?
vertical horn tubules & intertubular horn
Is wedge shaped
Frog
Frog is two_____separated by a central_____called_____?
2 crura (med/lat) separated by central groove called "sulcus of frog"
(*Remember* the inside of "V"=sulcus of frog....
the outside of "V"=paracuneal groove)
two crura meet cranially to form the ____ of frog
Apex of frog
The "V" expands palmarly to join____
Bulbs (med/lat) of the heels
the frog has softer or harder horn?
softer
what is a degenerative condition of the frog?
THRUSH (especially when kept on moist or watery ground)
Internal surface of frog=
"frog stay"
The "Frog Stay" is bordered by ?
grooves which are themselves bound by the "Ridge of the frog"
(frog stay->groove-->ridge of the frog)
Frog Stay =
Frog Spine
