46 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back

Bones of the thoracic limb in order

Scapula, humerus, Radius and ulna, carpels, metacarpels, phalanges

Bones of the pelvic limb in order

Os coxae, femur, fibula and tibia, tarsus, metatarsus, phalanges

Short bones

carpus, tarsus

Epiphysis

either end of the long bone

Diaphysis

cylindrical shaft of the long bone

Metaphysis

flared area adjacent to the epiphysis in the mature bone(widest part of the bone)

Compact bone

hard layer covering most bones and forming almost the entire shaft of the long bones

Cancellous bone

composed of spicules arranged to form a porous network

Epiphyseal cartilage or disc

layer of hyaline cartilage which separates the diaphysis and epiphysis in the immature bone(only area that in which a bone can lengthen)

Articular cartilage

thin layer of hyaline cartilage covering the articular surface of a bone

Periosteum

Fibrous membrane covering the surface of bones except where articular cartilage is located

Osteoblast

bone producing cells in the periosteum

Endosteum

fibrous cavity that lines the marrow cavity of bones

Osteoclasts

bone destroying cells in the endosteum

T/F: Both periosteum and endosteum contain osteoblasts and osteoclasts but the ratios of cell types differ

True

Flat bones:

skull, scapula, ribs, and pelvis

The flat bone is relatively thin and expanded in two directions. Consist of 2 plates of compact bone(lamina externa and lamina interna) separated by spongy material called__________?

Diploe

Sesamoid bones:

patella, found along the coarse of tendons

Pneumatic bones:

Frontal and maxillary bones of the skull; contain air spaces or sinuses that communicate with the exterior

Irregular bones:

Vertebral column, some bones of the skull

Bones of the Axial skeleton:

Skull, vertebral column, ribs, sternum

Dorsal processes projecting from vertebrae, first few thoracic vertebrae, withers of horse

Spinous processes

Sacral vertebrae:

Fused together in wedge shape bone

Caudal(coccygeal) vertebrae:

form the bony base of the tail

Bone with no bony connection to the thorax in quadrupeds and held in place by muscles and tendons:______________.

Scapula

________________ forms a relatively tight immoveable joint with the ulna

Radius

Dorsally it forms attachment with the sacrum

pelvis/ os coxae?

Immediately distal to the radius and ulna

carpal bones

Attaches to the femur via a ball and socket joint

pelvis

Bone forming a joint with the occipital chondyles of the skull

Atlas

Contain air spaces or sinuses that communicate with the exterior

Frontal bones of the skull; pneumatic

Bone embedded in a tendon

Patella; sesamoid bone

These two bones form the origin of the triceps muscle:

Scapula and humerus

Bone that forms a pivot joint with the atlas

Axis;c2

Bone that forms a functional hinge joint with the scapula:

humerus

The distal end of this bone forms a complex joint with the proximal end of the metatarsal bone

Tibia

This bone forms an attachment for the ribs

thoracic vertebrae

Bone that articulates distally with the radius and ulna

Humerus

Types of fibrous(fibrous connective tissue) joints:

Syndesmosis, sutures, gomphosis

Syndesmosis(fibrous) joint definition & example:

joint with little movement, limited by a tight ligament and united by fibrous tissue; splint and cannon bone of the horse, tibia-fibular joint

Sutures(fibrous) joint definition and example:

limited to the skull, necessary for growth, ossify with age

Gomphosis(fibrous) joint definition and example:

peg and socket joints like teeth and jaws; maintained by the periodontal ligament which only gives a little to absorb shock

Types of cartilaginous joints:

Synchondrosis, symphysis, synovial joints

Synchondrosis(cartilaginous) joint:

Immoveable joint joined by hyaline cartilage; union of the epiphysis and diaphysis in immature bone

Symphysis(cartilaginous)

2 bones united by cartilage but designed to give a bit; between adjacent vertebrae and sternebrae

Synovial (cartilaginous) joints

Joint surfaces are almost in contact but discontinuous, great range of movement capable, and the surfaces glide over each other
