Sectional-anatomy of the pes region of Zebu bulls. Views A and D Gross and Views B-C and E–F CT sections. Views A-C represent the sagittal view at the midline of the right pes region at the level of the middle of the proximal (first) phalanx (Gross, bone windows, and soft windows). Views D-F represent the Coronal view (dorsoplantar) at the midline of the right pes region (Gross, bone windows, and soft windows). Notice the clear observation of the marrow cavity of the metatarsal and proximal phalanx. To show the articulations between the metatarsal bone (MTB), the proximal sesamoid (PE), the proximal, middle; and distal phalanges; and the arrangement of the flexor tendons in the plantar aspect, the soft window (sagittal view) and the level of the extension of the proximal and distal osseous septa (Coronal view) were shown. (CJ) Coffin Joint; (DDFT) Deep Digital Flexor Tendon; (DE) Distal Extremity; (DEMIII) Distal Extremity of Third Metatarsal; (DEMIV) Distal Extremity of Fourth Metatarsal; (DEMIII) Distal Extremity of third Metatarsal; (DPh) Distal Phalanx; (FJ) Fetlock Joint; (IOM) Interosseous Muscle; (MC) Marrow Cavity; (Mph) Middle Phalanx; (PJ) Patern Joint; (SDFT) Superficial Digital Flexor Tendon; (TMJ) Tarsometatarsal Joint
