Horse foot - tendons, ligaments, vessels and nerves - 1/3 life-size

This dissected right-foot specimen displays a mixture of the vascular, nervous, ligaments and tendons.

The plantar digital neurovascular bundles both sides of the flexor tendons. The two digital extensor tendons are identified in the proximal dorsal aspect of the specimen. Metatarsophalangeal and proximal interphalangeal joints show all ligaments.

Between the plantar aspect of the metatarsal bones and the digital tendon flexors is the interosseus ligament with its sesamoid and extensor branches.
