Study Notes
Connective Tissue and Joints
- Ligaments are flexible connective tissue attached to bones at the joints.
Bone Stress in Thoracic Limb
- The scapula is the bone in the thoracic limb that is least stressed by the animal's weight during the support phase of locomotion.
Pelvis and Femur Bones
- The femur bone is found proximal to the patella and distal to the ischium.
Types of Bone Tissue
- Compact bone is dense and has a compact structure, whereas spongy bone is porous and lightweight.
Incorrect Statement about Bone
- (No specific statement provided, but will be prepared to identify an incorrect statement about bone if given.)
