Product Information

Greater Trochanter: It is for the attachment of the middle and deep gluteal muscles as well as the quadriceps femoris muscles. The patella is the large sesamoid bone in the dog skeleton. The dog patella possesses a base, an apex, and articular surfaces like the patella of a cow or goat. Tibia and fibula bones of dog skeleton

The proximal extremity of the dog ulna includes the olecranon process. It articulates with the humerus and radius bone of the dog.

Reproductive Anatomy

The trochlear notch is a smooth, verticle, half-moon-shaped concavity that faces cranially. A sharp-edge, slightly hooked structure (anconeal process) is present at the proximal end of the trochlear notch. Forepaw of dog skeleton anatomy (manus) In addition, the phalanges and sesamoid bones of the dog hind paw are so similar to those of the forepaw. The first digits are usually absent in dogs. But, sometimes, you may find the first digit in some breed. This first digit of the hind paw is known as the dewclaw. Tarsal bones of a dog One study found that the relative reduction in dog skull length compared to its width (the Cephalic Index) was significantly correlated to both the position and the angle of the brain within the skull. This was regardless of the brain size or the body weight of the dog. [8] Wolf mandible diagram showing the names and positions of the teeth. Bite force adjusted for body weight in Newtons per kilogram [9] Canid Peroneus longus: originates on both the tibia and fibula and inserts on the 4th tarsal bone and the plantar aspect of the metatarsals. It acts to flex the tarsus and rotate the paw medially. It is innervated by the peroneal nerve. Abductor pollicis longus: originates on the ulna and inserts on metacarpal 1. It acts to abduct the digit and extend the carpal joints. It is innervated by the radial nerve.

Trapezius: originates on the supraspinous ligament and inserts on the spine of the scapula. Its function is to elevate and abduct the forelimb. It is innervated by the accessory nerve. The anatomy of the dog scapula is somewhat different from that of the ruminant scapula. First, you may know the details of an idea scapula of an animal (example – cow or goat scapula). Then it will be better to compare with the dog scapula anatomy. The calcaneus (fibular tarsal bone) is the largest and longest bone in the dog tarsus. You will find the central tarsus of the dog hind paw that lies in the medial part of the tarsus between the proximal and distal rows. Gemelli: originates on the lateral surface of the ischium and inserts on the trochanteric fossa. It acts to rotate the pelvic limb laterally. It is innervated by the sciatic nerve. Deep digital flexor: originates on the medial epicondyle of the humerus and inserts on the palmar surface of the distal phalanx. It acts to flex the carpus, metacarpophalangeal joints, and the proximal and distal interphalangeal joints of the digits. It is innervated by the median nerve.The segments and bones of the thoracic limb – scapula, humerus, radius – ulna, carpal, metacarpal, and phalanx
