Rats typically have three phalanges in each toe, except for the first toe (hallux), which may have only two. Expose the 3 leg bones: Tibia, Fibula, and Femur. This page shows images of the bones and how the tendons and muscles are removed to expose them.

Carefully tease away the biceps femoris and gastrocnemius to expose the 3 leg bones: Tibia, Fibula, and Femur and the small patella (kneecap). You can also see the ligaments around the knee that attach the bones of the lower leg to the femur and the achilles tendon which attaches the the gastrocnemius to the ankle.

2023年12月21日 · The roof of the mouth in front of the choana consists of three pairs of bones (palatines, maxillaries, and premaxillaries), which taken together constitute the hard palate. At the extreme posterior end of the hard palate are the two small palatine bones, which form the ventral boundary of the choana.

Explore the rat skeleton with this coloring activity that showcases the major bones of the rat. Each bone is colored according to the directions as students locate the bones on the diagram.

Bone behind the ilium; the ilium, ischium and pubis fuse together to form a single bone to which the leg is attached. Bones articulating to form the skeleton of the digits. Part of the hind limb formed of several long bones; it connects the tarsus to the first phalanges of the digits.

As a first step towards developing a dynamic model of the rat hindlimb, we measured muscle attachment and joint center coordinates relative to bony landmarks using stereophotogrammetry. Using these measurements, we analyzed muscle moment arms as ...

2024年11月6日 · The appendicular skeleton comprises the bones of the forelimbs (shoulders, arms, hands) and hindlimbs (hips, legs, feet). These bones provide the framework for gripping, manipulating objects, and propelling the rat forward. The forelimbs enable them to climb, reach, and manipulate their environment.

Bone behind the ilium; the ilium, ischium and pubis fuse together to form a single bone to which the leg is attached. Bones articulating to form the skeleton of the digits. Part of the hind limb formed of several long bones; it connects the tarsus to the first phalanges of the digits.

Here we aim to instruct users of in vivo µCT scanners how to anesthetize a rat, and position and restrain the hind limb to produce high quality images that can be analyzed to more accurately quantify outcomes of bone micro-architecture.
