An Introduction to Body Systems Anatomy

In this week, we will look at the anatomy of the body, and the teaching team to guide you through this part of the course are Professor Susan Rhind and Dr Gurå Therese Bergkvist. We recommend that you start with the overview reading under the week 2 overview. For this week we have split the core materials into four sections that we suggest you work through in the order presented.

Now we're going to have a little look at where

these bones and these joints are in the live animal.

And to help me with this I've got my own dog here,

Blue, to help me,

and Amy, one of my second year students.

So looking at the forelimb then, here on Blue,

so if we start at the top and look for the scapula,

the shoulder blade, so that would be right under my hand in this area here.

So this is where his scapula is, right?

And then his shoulder joint would be right up here.

So it's really quite high up onto the trunk itself.

Now, I'm following the humerus down towards the elbow joint.

So that's the humerus.

And here at the elbow joint it meets up with,

remember in the cranial aspect,

you have this radial bone,

and then on the chordal aspect you have this ulna.

So that makes up the elbow joint.

Further distally then, you come to the wrist, or the carpus, here.

So I'll get him to lift up his leg.

So, that would be his carpus.

And then distal to that,

here you have your metacarpal bones.

And then at the end the toes,

she's made up of these phalanges.

You've got three little bones within here.

You look that way. Okay. So, now, we swapped models.

So, now, we've got, Fram, one of my other dogs and he's going

to show us the hind limbs if he stands up nicely for us now.

So looking at Frammy here then, his hip,

his pelvic bone would be right under my hands here.

So that would be the slope of that pelvic bone there.

And if I lift up his leg,

his hip joint is right in here.

So it's quite high up on the side of him.

And then we can follow the bone down the way.

And I'll take some of that hair out of the way.

And then we're going towards the stifle joint, okay?

So that's his stifle joint right up here.

And his patella or his kneecap is right under here.

Then you follow down, so that's the femur.

That was the femur. And then the femur joins up here on the cranial aspect, the tibia.

The tibia.

And then we have a fibula lying here, right at the back.

And I did mention this calcaneal tendon.

This is the equivalent to our Achilles tendon.

And that's what I'm touching just back here.

That's the calcaneal tendon,

and that is attaching onto the calcaneal,

the bone right there.

So this here is your tarsal joint or the equivalent of our ankle.

And it's also known as the hock joint in some animals.

So then below that,

distal to that, we have these metatarsal bones.

And then we get down to the paw with its toes,

and each one is made up of these phalanges, these little digits.
