=='''The Shoulder'''==
'''Skeleton'''
* Cranial border of the scapula

'''Skeleton'''
'''Skeleton'''
'''Joints'''
* Olecranon
'''Soft Tissue'''
* Lateral epicondyle, humerus
* Lateral tuberosity, radius

=='''Metacarpal region and Carpus'''==
'''Skeleton'''
* Medial styloid process of radius
* Lateral styloid process of radius
* Accessory carpal bone
* Medial and lateral splint bones and their buttons
'''Joint'''
* Radiocarpal joint
* Carpal canal
'''Soft tissue'''
* Extensor carpi radialis tendon
* Common digital extensor tendon
* Lateral digital extensor tendon
* Flexor reticulum
* Superficial and deep digital flexor tendon
* Accessory ligament of the deep digital flexor tendon
* Suspensory ligament
* Blood vessels and nerves in mid-metacarpal region
* Medial palmar artery
=='''Metacarpophalangeal Joint'''==
'''Bones'''
* Sagittal ridge of dorsal metacarpus under CDE tendon
* Dorsoproximal margin of proximal phalanx
* Proximal sesamoid bones
'''Soft tissue'''
* Common digital flexor tendon
* Dorsal pouch of the joint either side of the CDE tendon
* Lateral digital extensor
* Neurovascular bundle on the abaxial surface of the proximal sesamoids
* Collateral ligaments of proximal sesamoids
* Suspensory ligament
* Palmar annular ligament
* Palmar pouch of joint
* Proximal pouch of digital sheath between the suspensory ligament and digital flexor tendon
=='''Pastern'''==
'''Bones'''
* Epicondyles of distal proximal phalanx and palmar processes of proximal middle phalanx show the site of the joint
'''Soft tissue'''
* Dorsal pouch of distal interphalangeal joint
* Collateral cartilage
* Extensor slips from suspensory ligament attaching to the CDE tendon
* Widening of common digital extensor tendon
* Collateral ligaments of joint attaching to epicondyle of middle phalanx
