Document Summary

Mmp matrix matalo proteinases) because these enzymes are upregulated when exposed to corticosteroids. This week: putting the parts together how the musculoskeletal system (bones and non-ossi ed connective tissue) works together to move a horse, how to build a horse leg and then make it go, kinetics versus kinematics. Kinematics: study of movement, which describes the 3-dimensional linear and angular displacement of limbs. Kinetics: study of forces that are generated or absorbed to cause or resist movement. Determine effectiveness of treatments; neutraceuticals, drugs, remedial shoeing etc : conformation assessments of young horses. What did the horse do to evolve to do: run away from predators fast. Maintain stride frequency; ie be energetically ef cient with movement. Always get the little blip at the beginning. At high speed the horse can load its limb to 4x its body weight so some serious loading going on.
