Q

Reticular groove:

A

-cardia to reticulo-omasal orifice
-formed by cranial (L) and caudal (R) lips
-closed by reflex stimulus
-allows milk to bypass rumen in neonates
>suckling causes it to close and milk ‘shunts’ from esophagus into omasum tp abomasum=similar to monogastric

21
Q

What are the openings of the omasum?

A

-reticulo-omasal orifice (narrow)

Q

Dorsal aspect of stomach:

A

-pancreas

34
Q

Reticulo-omasal orifice:

A

-exits the rumen-reticulum and goes to the omasum

35
Q

Ruminoreticular groove:

A

-partially divides reticulum from rumen

36
Q

Cranial groove:

A

-up and oblique
-creates a cranial sac=atrium ruminis

37
Q

Cranial pillare:

A

-divides the cranial sac and ventral sac

38
Q

L+R longitudinal groves:

A

-connects cranial and caudal grooves

39
Q

Accessory groove:

A

-no overly important
-forms insula ruminis on the R with R. longitudinal groove

40
Q

Dorsal and ventral groove split the caudal sac into:

A

-dorsal caudal blind sac
-ventral caudal blind sac

41
Q

Long vs. short papillae in different aspects of the stomach:

A

-long: ventral sac=where all the fermentation is taking place
-short: pillars and dorsal sac (‘gas’)

42
Q

What stimulates the reflex to close the groove:

A

-suckling (and bucket feeding)
-ADH
-copper sulfate

43
Q

What structures of the stomach are associated with the greater omentum?

A

-rumen
-reticulum
*arise from the greater curvature of the fetal stomach

A

-omasum
*arise from the lesser curvature of the fetal stomach

45
Q

Lesser omentum:

A

-lesser curve of the abomasum
-covers omasum
-attaches along liver and duodenum

46
Q

Greater omentum ‘path’:

A

-esophagus to rumen over R longitudinal groove
