Order of the verebrae from cranial to caudal

1. Cervical Vertebrae (C1-C7):
   • Located in the neck region, closest to the head. C1 is the atlas, and C2 is the axis.
2. Thoracic Vertebrae (T1-T12):
   • Found in the upper and middle back region, associated with the ribs.
3. Lumbar Vertebrae (L1-L5):
   • Situated in the lower back region, below the thoracic vertebrae.
4. Sacral Vertebrae (S1-S5):
   • Fused vertebrae forming the sacrum, located near the base of the spine.
5. Coccygeal Vertebrae:
   • Fused vertebrae forming the coccyx, commonly known as the tailbone, at the very bottom of the spine.

List short bones:

1. Carpals:
   • Located in the wrist, carpals are short bones that form the wrist joint.
2. Tarsals:
   • Found in the foot, tarsals are short bones that contribute to the structure of the ankle.
3. Metacarpals:
   • Situated in the palm of the hand, metacarpals are short bones connecting the carpals to the phalanges (finger bones).
4. Metatarsals:
   • Located in the foot, metatarsals are short bones connecting the tarsals to the phalanges (toe bones).
5. Sesamoid Bones:
   • These are small, round bones embedded within tendons, with the patella (kneecap) being the largest sesamoid bone in the body.

What is the purpose of the skeletal system?

To keep every in place and protected

1. Support: The bones provide a framework that supports the body and gives it structure. It maintains the body's shape and prevents it from collapsing.
2. Protection: The skeletal system protects vital organs. For example, the skull protects the brain, and the ribcage protects the heart and lungs.
3. Movement: Bones, in conjunction with muscles and joints, allow for movement. Muscles attach to bones via tendons, and when muscles contract, they pull on the bones, causing movement.
4. Mineral Storage: Bones act as a reservoir for minerals, particularly calcium and phosphorus. These minerals can be released into the bloodstream when needed for various physiological functions.
5. Blood Cell Formation: The bone marrow, found within certain bones, is responsible for the production of blood cells, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets through a process called hematopoiesis.
6. Metabolic Regulation: Bones release hormones that help regulate blood sugar, phosphate, and energy metabolism.
7. Joint Stability: Joints, where bones come together, are crucial for movement and also provide stability to the skeletal system.

Primary Layer

1st layer

first layer of material that comes into direct contact with the wound. This layer is typically a dressing or gauze that provides a barrier to protect the wound and facilitate the healing process.

Secondary Layer

2nd layer - the secondary layer refers to the layer of material or dressing that is applied over the primary layer and provides extra protection and allows for excess drainage.

Tertiary layer

3rd layer - in wound care -

Observation

Closely watching the animal to gather information

SOLER

• S - Sit or stand at clients level
• O - Open gestures
• L - Lean in
• E - eye contact
• R - relaxed posture

Cephalic Vein

runs along the arm - It is a superficial vein in the arm that plays a significant role in the circulatory system. It is one of the major veins of the upper limb and is commonly used for medical procedures such as venipuncture or intravenous (IV) therapy.

Lateral Saphenous

Runs along the leg - is a superficial vein located on the lateral (outer) aspect of the hind limb in animals, particularly in quadrupeds like dogs and horses. It is part of the venous system that drains blood from the lower limbs and returns it to the heart.
