GROSS ANATOMICAL STUDIES ON THE JOINTS OF THE LIMBS IN BUFFALO CALVES

The study on gross anatomical aspects of the limb joints of 1-1½ year old buffalo calves was carried out on 15 calves procured from areas in and around Tirupati. In fore limb artc. humeri artc. cubiti artc. radioulnaris artc. carpi (artc. antebrachiocarpea artc. mediocarpea artc. intercarpea artc. ossis carpi accessorii and artc. carpometacarpea) artc. intermetacarpea artc. metacarpophalangeales artc. interphalangeae proximales artc. interphalangeae distales manus were depicted with beatiful photographs.In hind limb articulatio sacroiliaca sym. pelvina artc. coxae artc. genus(artc. femorotibialis and artc. femoropatellaris) artc. tarsi (artc. tarsocruralis artc. intertarsea proximalis artc. intertarsea distalis and the artc. tarsometatarsea) artc. intermetatarsea artcc. metatrsophalangeae artc. interphalangeae pedis proximalis and artc. interphalangeae pedis distalis were described in detai with beautiful photographs.
