From: Arthrocentesis approaches to the phalangeal joints of the one humped camel (Camelus dromedarius)
Dorsal view of the left distal forelimb. (A) Bones, (B) casting, (C) dissection, and (D) arthrocentesis approaches on an intact specimen. Mc metacarpal bone, Mc III distal end of metacarpal bone III, Mc IV distal end of metacarpal bone IV, P1 and P1′ proximal phalanx, P2 and P2′ middle phalanx, P3 and P3′ distal phalanx, a and a′ proximal dorsal recess of the metacarpophalangeal joint, b and b′ distal dorsal recess of the metacarpophalangeal joint, c and c′ proximal dorsal recess of the proximal interphalangeal joint, d and d’ distal axial recess of the proximal interphalangeal joint, e and e′ proximal dorsal recess of the distal interphalangeal joint, 1 medial tendon of the common digital extensor muscle, 2 lateral tendon of the common digital extensor muscle, 3 lateral digital extensor tendon, 4 continuation of the lateral tendon of the common digital extensor muscle, 5 proper extensor tendon of digit III, 6 proper extensor tendon of digit IV, 7 fat pad, DMp dorsal arthrocentesis approach to the metacarpophalangeal joint, DPI dorsal arthrocentesis approach to the proximal interphalangeal joint, DDI dorsal arthrocentesis approach to the distal interphalangeal joint. The black asterisks indicate the extensor process of the middle and distal phalanx.
