Cannon: the cannon bone sits between the knee (front legs) or hock (back legs) and the fetlock joint. Coronet: also known as the coronary band or corona, where the hoof grows from – can be compared to our cuticle. Crest: the upper portion of the neck, the mane grows from the crest.
vascular tissues, bone, synovial spaces, tendon, ligament, and cartilage. The tremen-dous weight-bearing forces transmitted through the 4 digits of the horse are accommodated within physiologic norms because of the highly refined and special-ized gross, microscopic, and functional anatomy of the equine foot. This article pro-
The superficial and deep digital flexor tendons have been cut and reflected in order to uncover the suspensory ligament, the palmar (intersesamoidean) ligament and the straight and oblique sesamoidean ligaments. (from Equine Anatomy Guide: The Forelimb; Mansour, Steiss, Wilhite).
This article traces the characteristics, origin, distribution, and function of alternative lateral horse gaits, i.e., intermediate speed lateral-sequence gaits.
8 Ιουλ 2016 · Tendons and ligaments. Horses can attain high speeds largely because specific tendons and ligaments store and return elastic strain energy as the foot is set down and then lifted. This, effectively, halves muscular work during galloping.
A range of overlapping functions can be assigned to tendon and ligaments and each structure has specific mechanical properties which appear to be suited for particular in vivo function.
This article provides an overview of foot anatomy and physiology, with a focus on fundamental knowledge. The foot is defined as the epidermal hoof capsule and all structures enveloped by the capsule. The anatomy is described using terminology published in Nomina Anatomica Veterinaria.
