Joints of the Forelimb - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Extension of shoulder joint
  - - - Holds biceps brachii in intertubercular groove
    - - Thickening of joint capsule, protrude internally
  - - - Take out lateral collateral= knees move outwards, Varus
      - Taking out medial collateral= knock knees
- - - - Lateral collateral
      - Medial collateral
    - - Olecranon radius
        
        Elastic
        
        Extensor surface
      - Oblique ligament
      - Annular ligament of radius
        
        Present between radius and ulna, on lateral and medial view
        
        Holds radius and ulna together
      - Ligaments in cubital joint which have a specific function, on outside of joint capsule
- - - - Radius+ ulna and the proximal rows of carpal bones
    - - Proximal and distal rows of carpus
    - - Distal rows of carpus and metacarpal bones
    - - Minor
  - - - When doing an injection you only need to do 2, one in antebrachiocarpal and one for middle
  - - - Short radial
    - - Short ulnar
  - - - Most moveable joint, opens the widest
    - - Very little movement, opens a lot less than atebrachiocarpal
    - - Does not open at all, no movement
  - - - Flexor retinaculum, the carpal canal
    - - The muscle tendons surrounding the carpus are protected by synovial sheaths/ tendon sheaths
- - - - Medial and lateral, intersesamoidea, and cruciate sesamoidean
- - - - Equal and bilateral, from base of middle phalanx to ungal crest
      - In cats it is hyper extended in normal position and flexed when claws are out
