Sources of cancellous bone |
Tibial tuberosity Greater tubercle of humerus Greater trochanter of femur Wing of the ilium
|
|
only in horse and cat;between two parietal bones rostral to the occipital bone |
Interparietal bone |
|
forms the entire roof of the cranium in ox and pig |
Frontal bone |
|
splanchnic bone in the nose of pigs |
Rostral bone |
|
Complete in the horse and ruminants;incomplete in the carnivores but is completed by the orbital ligament |
Bony orbit |
|
only in horses;the ridge on the lateral surface of the face |
Facial crest |
|
in ruminants,the process on the lateral surface of the face |
Facial tuberosity |
|
the process of the frontal bone of horned ruminants that is enclosed by the horn |
Cornual process |
|
in ruminants,has been pushed to the lateral side of the skull by the frontal bone |
Temporal fossa |
|
dosal surface of the skull |
Cornual process Temporal fossa |
|
ventral surface of the skull |
Foramen orbitorotundum |
|
in ruminant and pigs,is the joining of the round and orbital foramina of other species |
Foramen orbitorotundum |
|
Paranasal sinuses |
Frontal sinus Conchofrontal sinus |
|
The largest paranasal sinus in cattle |
Frontal sinus |
|
in horse,the joined frontal and dorsal conchal sinus |
Conchofrontal sinus |
|
in the horse,the large opening between the caudal maxillary sinus and frontal sinus |
Frontomaxillary opening |
|
the direct continuation of the frontal sinus into the cornual process in horned ruminants |
Cornual diverticulum |
|
is the largest paranasal sinus in horses |
Maxillary sinus |
|
paper thin caudal extent of the maxillary sinus in the ruminants |
Lacrimal bulla |
|
the drilling of holes (trephine holes) into the paranasal sinus |
Trephination |
|
of the frontal sinus is often opened in dehorning and thus a possible entrance of inflammation (sinusitis) |
Cornual diverticulum |
|
inflammation of the paranasal sinuses; trephination may be used to drain the infection |
Sinusitis |
|
the rostral projection of the basihyoid bone into the tongue |
Lingual process |
|
The three foramina present in the atlas oh the horse |
Intervertebral Alar Transverse |
|
spout-shaped in ruminants,tooth-like in dogs |
Dens |
|
has trifid transverse process |
Horse |
|
this is often the landmark in reading radiographs of the thorax or back |
Anticlinal vertebra |
|
lumbar vertebrae numbers that articulates sometimes fused with each other in the horse |
Lumbar 4, 5, and 6 |
|
unfused in horse and carnivorse |
Spinous process |
|
fused sacral spinal process in ruminants |
Median sacral crest |
|
last pair ribs in dogs |
Floating ribs |
|
in scapula it's a bony enlargement of the scapular spine found in the horse and pig |
Spinal tuber |
|
in scapula,in cat;caudal projection of acromion;distal end of spine can be called the acromion or hamate (L.hooked) process |
Suprahamate process |
|
in cat can be mistaken for a bone in the esophagus on lateral radiographs |
Clavicle |
|
the hole between the olecranon and the radial fossa found in the dog and sometimes in the pig |
Supratrochlear fossa |
|
opening in the medial epicondyle present only in cat;the median nerve and brachial vessels pass through it |
Supracondylar foramen |
|
a prominence in the horse intertubercular groove |
Intermediate tubercle |
|
divided into cranial and caudal parts in ungulates |
Greater tubercle |
|
fuses with radius in the horse and ruminants;therefore, these animals cannot supinate or pronate their forearm;not fused in carnivores and pigs, allowing pronation and supination |
Ulna |
|
the distal epiphysis of the horse ulna is fused with the radius and in essence become a part of the radius |
Styloid process of ulna |
|
the basic carpal number in the domestic animals |
8 |
|
the 1st digit and the 1st metacarpal bone.The 1st digit is reduced in size having only 2 phlanges, the proximal and distal and one proximal sesamoid bone. |
Dew claw |
|
called hooked in the ox |
Tuber coxae |
|
pin bone in ox |
Ischiatic tuberosity |
|
the large prominence on the medial ridge of the patellar surface in the horse; the patella locks over this structure when the stay apparatus is in use |
Trochlear tubercle |
|
the 2 small sesamoid bones embedded in the heads of the gastrocnemius muscle of the carnivore |
Fabellae |
|
it should not be mistaken for a chip fracture in radiographs |
Sesamoid bone of the popliteal tendon in carnivore |
|
in the horse and ox attaches the medial patellar ligament with the patella |
Patellar fibrocartilage |
