Study Notes

Applied Anatomy

  • Applied anatomy is a branch of anatomy that uses anatomical knowledge in various veterinary fields like surgery, obstetrics, gynecology, therapeutics, and pathology.

Surgical Anatomy

  • Surgical anatomy is a specialized study of veterinary anatomy.
  • It focuses on the structures and sites relevant to surgical procedures.

Topographic Anatomy

  • Topographic anatomy describes the relative positions of body parts.
  • It uses methods like X-rays to study deeper structures without dissection.

Surface Regions - Head

  • Frontal region
  • Temporal region
  • Facial region
  • Nuchal region
  • Parotid region
  • Maxillary region
  • Mandibular region

Surface Regions - Cervical

  • Dorsal cervical region
  • Lateral cervical region
  • Ventral cervical region
  • Prescapular region
  • Dewlap region

Region of Forelimb

  • Shoulder (scapular) region
  • Arm (humerus) region
  • Forearm region
  • Manus

Region of Hind Limb

  • Hip
  • Thigh
  • Leg
  • Pes

Thorax

  • Back region
  • Wither (highest point of thoracic spines)
  • Costal and intercostal region
  • Sternal region

Abdomen

  • Lumbar (loin) region - Flank region
  • Paralumbar fossa region - Costal arch
  • Parachondriac region - Umbilical region
  • Prepubic region - Inguinal region

Palpable Lymph Node

  • Palpable lymph nodes are useful for diagnosing diseases like theileria.
  • They are important for meat inspection quality.
  • Inflammation in a lymph node suggests infection.

Location - Lymph Nodes

  • Parotid lymph node: Located over the posterior masseter muscle, partly beneath the parotid salivary gland.
  • Mandibular lymph node: Present at the lower portion of the mandibular salivary gland, beneath the sternomandibularis muscle insertion.

Location - Lymph Nodes (continued)

  • Prescapular (Suprascapular) lymph node: Situated near the anterior border of the supraspinatus, a few centimeters above the shoulder joint.
  • Prefemoral (Precrural/Suprapatellar) lymph node: Located in front of and beneath the tensor fascia latae, about a hand's breadth above the patella.
  • Superficial inguinal/Supramammary lymph node: Located in the neck of the scrotum in males, and on the posterior border of the mammary glands in females

Palpable Bony Areas - Forelimb

  • Scapular spine
  • Acromion process
  • Lateral tuberosity of humerus
  • Point of elbow (olecranon process)
  • Accessory carpal
  • Medial and lateral borders of the shaft of the metacarpal

Palpable Bony Areas - Hindlimb

  • External angle of ilium (hook bone/tuber coxae)
  • Tuber ischii (pin bone)
  • Trochanter major
  • Patella
  • Trochlear ridges of femur
  • Tibial tuberosity and crest
  • Medial and lateral condyles of tibia
  • Medial surface of tibia (point of hock)
  • Medial and lateral surfaces of the shaft of metatarsus

Palpable Bony Areas - Head

  • Frontal crest
  • Facial tuberosity
  • Zygomatic arch
  • Rim of orbit
  • Nasal bones
  • Angle of mandible
  • Horizontal ramus of mandible

Skeletal System

  • Vertebral column: including wings of atlas, transverse and articular processes of cervical vertebrae, thoracic spines, lumbar spines and transverse processes, sacral crest, transverse processes & spines of coccygeal vertebrae; sternum, ribs

Arteries & Veins for Nodes

  • Arteries and veins are important for assessing animal pulse rates and disease investigation.
  • Different animals have different palpable arteries (e.g., cattle- ventral coccygeal artery, horse- facial artery).

Location - Arteries/Veins

  • Ventral coccygeal artery: located between the sacrococcygeus ventral muscles at the base of the tail.
  • External maxillary artery: located on the vertical ramus of the mandible’s medial surface.
  • Facial artery: located along the anterior border of the masseter muscle and with Stenon’s duct behind.
  • Median artery: located on the medial border of the radius in the upper forearm.
  • Femoral artery: located in the thigh's medial aspect within the femoral canal.

Location of Surface Veins

  • Surface veins are essential for blood transfusions, intravenous injections, and blood collection.
  • Cattle: External jugular vein, located in the jugular furrow, medial to the sternomastoideus muscle.
  • Horse: External jugular vein.
  • Location of other veins are also listed in the relevant section

Other Locations

  • Cranial epigastric
  • Inguinal canal
  • Papillary
  • External iliac
  • External pudic
  • Perineal

Additional Relevant Details

  • The location of veins vary amongst species (e.g., dog, sheep, goat).
  • Data on the precise locations of specific vessels are available in the provided text.
