Study Notes
Angular Process of the Mandible
- The angular process is a part of the condylar process in the mandible bone
- In bovines, the angular process is large and separate from the condylar process
- In pigs, the angular process is short and fused with the condylar process
Heterotropic Bones
- Heterotropic bones are bones that develop from a different type of tissue than the surrounding bones
- Examples of heterotropic bones include the os penis, os clitoridis, os cordis, and os kymina
- These bones are found in some mammals, but not in ruminants
Hyoid Apparatus
- The hyoid apparatus consists of the stylohyoid bone, epihyoid bone, and basihyoid bone
- In ruminants, the basihyoid bone is absent or fused with the stylohyoid bone
- In pigs, the ligamentum episthyoidea is not ossified
Cranial and Caudal Directions
- Cranial refers to the direction towards the head
- Caudal refers to the direction towards the tail
