esophageal hiatus
1
3 tubular structures entering the ventro-medial (visceral) surface of the liver. Which will have the widest lumen?
hepatic artery, portal vein, bile duct. Portal vein has widest lumen
2
Does horse have a gall bladder?
NO
3
Which organs/structures leave impressions on the liver? (6)
stomach, esophagus, descending duodenum, R kidney, caudal vena cava, R dorsal ascending colon
4
Compare the epithelium of the blind sac of the stomach vs. the distal stomach
blind sac: whitish, non-glandular, stratified squamous epithelium
distal stomach: pink, glandular
5
Border between blind sac and distal stomach
margo plicatus
6
what prevents the horse from vomiting?
the thick cardiac sphincter. Horse can only vomit in severe cases
7
What drains into the major duodenal papilla in the horse?
Bile duct and pancreatic duct
8
What drains into the minor duodenal papilla in the horse?
Accessory pancreatic duct
9
What part of colon passes cranial to the root of the mesentery?
transverse colon
10
From what side does ileum enter the cecum?
from the medial side
11
What direction does the cecocolic orifice face?
caudally into the R ventral colon
12
Why is it important to know pattern of bands and sacculations in the horse?
For identification in abdominal surgery and rectal palpation
13
Which segment(s) of the colon have distinct sacculations?
R ventral colon, L ventral colon, small colon
14
Which segment(s) of the colon have no sacculations?
L dorsal colon
15
Which segment(s) of the colon have indistinct sacculations?
R dorsal colon
16
How many free and hidden bands does the R ventral colon have?
2 free, 2 hidden (same as the L ventral colon)
17
How many free and hidden bands does the R dorsal colon have?
2 free, 1 hidden
18
How many free and hidden bands does the L dorsal colon have?
0 free, 1 hidden
19
How many free and hidden bands does the L ventral colon have?
2 free, 2 hidden. (same as R ventral colon)
20
How many free and hidden bands does the small colon have?
1 free, 1 hidden
21
Does the cecum have bands and/or sacculations?
Yes-both
22
What does the colic branch of the ileocolic artery supply?
ventral coli
23
What does the R colic a. supply?
dorsal coli
24
Where doe the colic br. of ileocolic a. and R colic a. anastomose?
pelvic flexure
25
Why are colic conditions exacerbated by ischemia at the pelvic flexure?
This is the location where the R colic a. and colic br. of the ileocolic a. anastomose and end, so it is more susceptible to ischemia
26
What is the peritoneal cavity lined by?
parietal peritoneum
27
What muscle lies directly ventral to the parietal peritoneum, fascia, and fat?
Rectus abdominis
28
