The next thing which engages your attention is the near fore leg, which you skin as far as you can go, in this instance to the next joint, the one above the carpus or wrist joint.
From thecarpus downwards the large metacarpal artery, the internal metacarpal vein, and the internal plantar nerve are in close relation with each other.

Von Meyer remarks that the carpus is made up of two rows of small bones in the Solenhofen Pterodactyles; while in birds there is one row consisting of two bones.
The bone which is usually known as the wing metacarpal is frequently stouter at the proximal end towards the carpus than towards the phalange.
The structure of the carpus is not distinct in all German specimens; but in the short-tailed Solenhofen genera the bones in the two rows retain their individuality.
In Chelonians, the turtle and tortoise group, the characters of the carpusvary with the family.
The lower surface shows that the wing had some rotary movement upon the carpus outward and backward.
The facet for the wing metacarpal on the carpus is clearly recognised, but as a rule there is no surface with which the small metacarpals can be separately articulated.
In Crocodiles, in the upper row there is a large inner and a small outer bone, behind which is a lunate bone, the remainder of the carpus being cartilaginous.
In the first instance, for example, the flexors of the carpus and the superior check ligament assisted by the flexors of the phalanges constitute the inhibitory apparatus.
Inflammation of the carpus is caused by contusions, such as are occasioned in falling, by kicks by striking the carpus against objects in jumping and sometimes by striking it against the manger in pawing.
Therefore, it is evident that when such joints as thecarpus or tarsus are open and infection exists, if they are not promptly treated and the infectious process checked, it is neither humane nor practical to prolong treatment.
In front, the carpus is sometimes the site of injury.
Acting together, these muscles flex the carpus or extend the elbow and this action is antagonized by the biceps brachii (flexor brachii) and extensors of the carpus and phalanges.
Casts are used by some and serve very well in many cases; but because of their bulk and unyielding and rigid nature, they are not well adapted to use on fractures of bones proximal to the carpus and tarsus.
The same proportionate amount of irritation affects this part of the leg, owing to strains, as affect the carpus from a similar cause; and synovitis from this cause, is as frequent in one case as in the other.
Also, there exists lameness which is characterized by an apparent inability to flex the leg, and there is circumduction of the leg as it is advanced because in this way little if any flexion of the carpus (which increases pain) is necessary.
Especially where thecarpus is involved must the subject be kept quiet until all evidence of inflammation has subsided.
Such movement is not restricted and flexion of the leg at the carpus in any direction is possible.
The carpus of the dog consists of seven small bones, arranged in a proximal row of three, and a distal row of four.
All the bones of the carpusand tarsus strongly interlock.
The Metacarpus, or palm of the hand, is composed of five bones situated between the carpus and fingers.
The Tarsus, or instep, is composed of seven bones, and corresponds to thecarpus of the upper extremities.
Where the principal object to be attained is strength, and the motion of the skeleton is limited, the individual bones are short and compressed, as the bones of the carpus and tarsus.
According to the Argentine palaeontologists, the carpus is of the alternating type, and the terminal phalanges of the pentedactyle feet are bifid, and very like those of Edentata.
The carpus has separate lunar and scaphoid bones, and the centrale is often present.

In the carpus a centrale is present, and the scaphoid and lunar are separate.
The os centrale of the carpus has become fused, and no longer exists as a separate bone.
The bones of the carpus are serially arranged and do not interlock.
He has pointed out that in some ancient Ungulates the carpus is not serial but interlocking, even in forms which belong to the earliest Eocene groups, such as the genus Protolambda among the Amblypoda.
The trapezoid and the os magnum of the carpus are united, while in Choloepus they are perfectly distinct bones.
In thecarpus the scaphoid, lunar, and cuneiform are all fused together.
In the pig the metacarpals of the fore and little fingers are produced from the carpus or wrist, or, as is popularly termed in the case of these animals, the knee.
The large development of muscles acting upon the carpus and tarsus, and the separate existence of flexors and extensors of individual digits, is further proof that the elephant's foot is far from being a solid unalterable mass.
Defn: A bone of the carpus at the base of the second metacarpal, or index finger.
Defn: The bone or cartilage of the carpus which articulates with the radius and corresponds to the scaphoid bone in man.
Defn: One of the bones of either the carpusor tarsus.

Defn: That part of the skeleton of the hand or forefoot between the carpus and phalanges.
Defn: A bone of the carpusat the base of the third metacarpal bone.
Scapholunar bone, a bone formed by the coalescence of the scaphoid and lunar in the carpus of carnivora.
The ulnar or fibular side of the carpus or tarsus becomes divided into a proximal element--the ulnare or fibulare--the ulnare remaining partially united with the intermedium.
The carpus is carried to the radial side by the upward rotation of the distal fragment, and the radial styloid is as high, or even higher, than that of the ulna.
For this condition Bardenheuer devised an operation which consists in splitting the lower end of the ulna longitudinally and inserting the proximal bones of the carpus into the cleft.
Tubby has devised an operation for converting the pronator radii teres into a supinator, and Robert Jones another in which the flexors of the carpus are made to take the place of the extensors.
The carpus may be displaced backward or forward, and the articular edge of the radius towards which it passes may be chipped off.
In both varieties reduction is readily effected by making traction on the hand and pushing the carpus into position.
Any or all of the metacarpal bones may be separated from the carpus by forced movements of flexion or extension.
The displacedcarpus forms a marked projection on the palmar aspect of the wrist, and there is a corresponding depression on the dorsum.
Forward dislocation of the carpus may result from any form of forced flexion, such as a fall on the back of the hand, or from direct violence.
The cut tendons, and the extensor secundi internodii tendon and the radial artery can thus be pushed outwards, enabling the trapezium to be separated from the carpus by cutting-pliers.
The anterior ligament of the wrist being now divided, the carpus and metacarpus are to be separated by cutting-pliers, and the carpus extracted by strong sequestrum forceps.
The extensor tendons being relaxed by bending back the hand, the soft parts must be cleared from the carpus as far as possible towards the ulnar side.
The carpus of the Orang, like that of most lower apes, contains nine bones, while in the Gorilla, as in Man and the Chimpanzee, there are only eight.
The four bones of the second row of the carpusbear the four long bones which support the palm of the hand.
In the Jurassic Notobatrachus Stipanicic and Reig (1956) have shown the carpus with surprising clarity (Fig.
The carpusand tarsus of Amphibamus are as yet undecipherable.
The line a a in the hand indicates the boundary between the carpus and the metacarpus; b b that between the latter and the proximal phalanges; c c marks the ends of the distal phalanges.
But it is evident that the external elements of the so-called carpus of the teleosteoid Ganoids are homologous with that element in Polypterids.
The bones of the arm of the specialized fish are not by any means identical with the humerus, coracoid, clavicle, radius, ulna, and carpus of the higher vertebrates.
The carpus in birds is formed by two bones only, with which the skeleton of the forearm articulates.
The superior extremity of this metacarpal presents plane surfaces, variously inclined, with which the bones of the inferior row of the carpus articulate.
They are elongated bones, of which the superior extremity, which is a little thickened, is called the head; the lateral bones of the second row of the carpus partly rest on the heads of these.
The bones of the carpus are seven in number, the scaphoid and the semilunar being fused together.
The carpus consists of seven bones--three in the superior row and four in the inferior.

The inferior extremity articulates with the carpus by a surface which is directed obliquely downwards and inwards.
We mentioned above that the 'tendon' descends vertically from the carpus towards the fetlocks.
