Anatomy I: Lesson 4

Bones and Structures of the Pelvic Hind limb Objective: Students will study bones and structures of the pelvic hind limb in order to differentiate between the variations that exist amongst the various species

Pelvic girdle = 2x Hip bone, Os coxae

Hip bone = Os ilium + Os pubis + Os ischii

interpec. diff.:

General shape, floor (solum pelvis osseum)

Crista iliaca (Ca: konvex)

Direction of ala iliaca / facies auricularis

Tuber ischiadicum (Ru 3x)

Acetabulum (Ru: Facies lunata with Pars major + minor)

Eq. Ru. Can. Sus.

B. Gerics

Eq. Rum. Ca. Sus.

Knee cap, Patella

Basis – prox.

Apex – dist.

Proc. cartilagineus (Eq, bo): med.

Tarsus

Calcaneus ◦Tuber calcanei (LAT), Proc. coracoideus, Sustentaculum tali (plantar, →MED)

◦(Sulcus tendinis m. flex. dig. lat.)

Talus ◦ Caput, Collum, Corpus, Trochlea (Ru: prox. + dist.)

◦ Sinus tarsi – between Talus and Calcaneus (synovia)

◦ Canalis tarsi – between T3, T4 and Tc (vessels)
