Types of Movement in animals
Veterinary AnatomyMovement is brought about by the coordinated movement of the different body parts. During locomotion, the limbs are moved in a repetitive and regular sequence

The centre of gravity is the point where the maximum weight of the body is exerted. It varies in position static animal and during locomotion
Forward propulsion in locomotion is mainly brought about by the action of pelvic limbs. Hence, they are stronger, more muscular…
In terrestrial mammals, the forelimbs bear the greater load both while rest and during locomotion. Their main function is to stabilize and…
Construction of the body axis can be more accurately compared with the “Bow and String” theory to understand Biomechanics of Trunk.
Biomechanics includes the principles of statics and dynamics. Dynamics refers to the movement of the body parts during locomotion.
Biomechanics is the branch of science which deals with the application of mechanical principles to the biological systems like human, animals
Each Coffin Joint of hindlimb is a ginglymus formed between the second and third phalanges and the distal sesamoid.
Ox The proximal interphalangeal articulations are two for each limb. Each is ginglymus formed between the first and second phalanges. It has a glenoid fibro cartilage behind, kept in position by ligament and confounded with the tendon of the superficial flexor. Ligaments The capsular ligament Abaxial collateral ligament extends from axial face of distal extremity of first phalanx
There are two Fetlock joint of hindlimb for each limb. Each is a ginglymus formed between the distal extremity of the large metacarpal…
