Study Notes
Appendicular Skeleton
- The scapula, humerus, pelvis, and bones of the limbs are part of the appendicular skeleton in dogs.
- The skull is not part of the appendicular skeleton.
Shoulder Joint
- The scapula articulates with the humerus to form the shoulder joint.
Stifle Joint
- The femur articulates with the tibia to form the stifle joint.
- The patella aids in extending the stifle joint.
Forelimb
- The radius bears the majority of the body weight in the forelimb.
- The ulna is located medially in the forelimb.
- The humerus is commonly referred to as the "funny bone".
Hindlimb
- The tibia is commonly referred to as the shinbone.
- The fibula articulates with the tibia distally.
- The calcaneus forms the point of the hock.
- The patella is commonly referred to as the kneecap.
Joints
- The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a hinge joint.
- The elbow joint is a hinge joint.
- The joint between the atlas and axis vertebrae allows for rotation.
Skull
- The maxilla forms the majority of the upper jaw.
- The mandible forms the majority of the lower jaw.
- The styloid process is a feature of the temporal bone.
- The nasal bone forms the cranial part of the nasal cavity.
