terminal horn
t

A schematic representation of a small part of the distal lamellar segment in the hoof wall showing the terminal papilla (d) on the end of each dermal lamella (a). The terminal horn (e, f) growing down from the termial papillae fills the gaps beween the horny lamellae from the wall segment (g). In combination, these two layers form the white line (between the coronary horn and the solar horn).

terminal horn

Tubular horn that is produced by the terminal papillae of the dermal lamellae of the inner hoof wall (stratum internum or stratum lamellatum). Terminal horn fills the 'gaps' between the horny lamellae between the end of the dermal lamellae and the solar surface of the hoof and, therefore, forms a part of the white line. The striations visible in the white line are caused by alternating leaflets of lamellar horn and terminal horn.
