Bony Pelvis
Bony pelvis or bones of hip consist of sacrum, 1st three coccygeal vertebrae and two Os-coxae. Each formed by the ilium, ischium and pubis
Os Coxae
Os Coxae of Animals The Os Coxae of animals is also known as hip bone. different animals bear different type
Distal sesamoid of forelimb
The distal sesamoid of forelimb in ox is otherwise called as os navicularis. Sesamoid bones are absent in case of fowl.
Proximal sesamoids of forelimbs
Proximal sesamoids of forelimbs are situated behind the distal extremity of the large metacarpal and leverage to the flexors of the digits.
Phalanges of forelimb
Phalanges of forelimb in ox is a long bone placed obliquely downward and forward between the large metacarpal above and the second phalanx below.
Digits of forelimb
Digits of the forelimbs of animals such as ox, sheep, goats, horses, pigs, dogs, rabbits, and fowl will be discussed.
Metacarpal Bones
The metacarpal bones of ox consists of a large metacarpal (fifth), Fused third and fourth, which carries the digit and a lateral small metacarpal.
Carpal Bones
The carpal bones in Ox consists of six bones arranged in two rows – four in the proximal and two in the distal rows. The carpals are arranged in the following pattern in domestic animals
Ulna Bone
Ulna bone is a long bone and longer than the radius. It situated on the posterolateral aspect of the radius. It is fused with the radius in the adult, except at the two inter-osseous spaces above and below
Radius Bone
The radius is the larger and shorter of the two bones of the forearm. It is a long bone placed obliquely downward between the elbow joint above and the carpal joint below. It consists of a shaft and two extremities
