Foot bones and topographically associated arteries in the sable of the black pushkin breed

The pelvic limbs give the animal a relative springiness of the body, as well as speed of movement when running and various reactions to the environment. The more active the muscle, the more abundant its blood supply should be. Knowledge of the features of the structure and topography of the pelvic limb skeleton is necessary for a veterinarian who performs not only surgical interventions on this area of the body, but also conducts a veterinary and sanitary examination to determine falsification. The cadaverous material for the study was delivered to the Department of Animal Anatomy of the Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of the Russian Academy of Sciences from the fur farming of the Leningrad Region. The objects for this study were the corpses of the black Pushkin sable breed of two age groups: 15-20 months from birth (puberty) and 36-40 months from birth (puberty) in the amount of 10 pieces in each group. To achieve this task, a set of traditional anatomical research methods was used. As a result of the study, the foot bones of the sable of the Black Pushkin breed, as well as the topographically associated arteries, were determined. The flattened bones of the black Pushkin sable breed are formed by three asymmetric rows (proximal, central, distal) of short bones, which are located between the bones of the shin and metatarsal. The metatarsal bones of these animals are represented by five flattened-elongated welldeveloped tubular bones. Each of the five bones has the following surfaces (dorsal, plantar, medial, lateral). The finger bones (ossa digitorum) of the black Pushkin sable breed are represented by five fingers, each of which consists of three phalanges, except the first. It consists of two phalanges. The main artery supplying the blood to the foot area is the dorsal artery of the foot, which subsequently divides many times, feeding the metatarsal and finger area. These arteries are associated with the bones of the foot area. Each bone, like an artery, has its own anatomical and topographic features that are inherent in martens, due to the way their habitat is.
