Study Notes
Assessment of Joints, Anatomy and Histology
- Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ): Formed by the skull's squamous part and the mandible's condylar process. A composite joint with an articular disc between the bones. Small animals have one ligament (ligamentum laterale), while large animals have two (ligamentum laterale and ligamentum caudale).
Atlanto-occipital Joint
- Bones: Occipital bone and the first cervical vertebra (atlas).
- Type: Simple joint.
- Ligaments: Ligamentum laterale, dorsal and ventral atlanto-occipital membranes.
Atlanto-axial Joint
- Bones: First and second cervical vertebrae (atlas and axis).
- Type: Simple joint.
- Ligaments: Longitudinal ligament, right alar ligament, dorsal and ventral atlanto-axial ligaments. Species differences exist, with some ligaments (e.g., ventral atlanto-axial ligament) only present in certain animals (ruminants, horses).
Articulations Between Adjacent Vertebrae
- Structure: Cartilages (intervertebral discs) separate vertebral bodies and act as shock absorbers.
- Longitudinal Ligaments: Three major ligaments run along the vertebral column: one on the spinal processes, another within the spinal canal (dorsal longitudinal ligament), and a third on the ventral aspect.
- Short Ligaments: Connect adjacent vertebrae, including interspinal, intertransverse, and ligamentum flavum (yellow ligament).
Nuchal Ligament
- Structure: Two parts: a rope-like funiculus nuchae and a flatter lamina nuchae. Supports the head's weight.
- Species Differences: Large animals have a complete nuchal ligament. Small animals, like dogs and cats, lack the nuchal ligament or possess a rudimentary version.
Costovertebral Articulations
- Bones: Thoracic vertebrae and ribs.
- Joints: Two main junctions: articularis capitis costae (head of rib) and costotransverse articulation (rib tubercle).
- Ligaments: Interconnecting them include ligamentum capitis costae, costotransverse ligament, ligamentum tuberculum and intercapitale.
Shoulder Joint (Glenohumeral Joint)
- Bones: Scapula and humerus.
- Type: Simple, multiaxial joint.
- Ligaments: Coracohumeral ligament is the main ligament; glenohumeral ligaments (glenohumeral laterare and glenohumeral mediale) also present in carnivores.
- Species Differences: Species variability exists (e.g., large animals can possess fewer ligaments compared to carnivores).
Elbow Joint (Cubital Joint)
- Bones: Humerus, radius, and ulna.
- Type: Composite, uniaxial joint.
- Ligaments: Collateral ligaments (collaterale laterale and collaterale mediale) provide support.
Carpal Joint
- Bones: Radius, ulna, and carpal bones.
- Types: Hinge, composite, uniaxial joint.
- Ligaments: Ligaments connect carpal bones to each other and to the radius and ulna.
Phalangeal Joints
- Types: Composite, uniaxial (metacarpophalangeal), hinge joint (proximal and distal interphalangeal). Ligaments aid in stability.
Sacroiliac Joint
- Bones: Sacrum and ilium (hip bone).
- Type: Simple, plane joint (limited movement).
- Ligaments: Ligamentum sacroiliac dorsale breve, ligamentum sacroiliac dorsale longum, and sacrotuberous ligament aid stability
Hip Joint (Coxal Joint)
- Bones: Pelvis (hip bone) and femur
- Type: Simple multiaxial ball and socket joint.
- Ligaments: Ligamentum capitis ossis femoris and transverse acetabular ligament support the joint.
Stifle Joint (Knee Joint)
- Bones: Femur, tibia, fibula, and patella.
- Type: Hinge, condylar, and a slightly modified ball and socket joint.
- Ligaments: Include meniscofemoral, cruciate, and collateral ligaments, along with patellar ligaments for stability.
Tarsal Joint
- Bones: Tibia, fibula, metatarsal bones.
- Type: Uniaxial joint
- Ligaments: Lateral and medial collateral ligaments.
