Q

What is gastric dilatation (volvulus)?

A

Gastric dilatation (volvulus) is the twisting of the stomach around the cardia and the gastrophrenic ligament leading air to become trapped within the stomach due to the occlusion of the cardia and the pylorus

A

Plicae circularies

38
Q

What is the function of the villi present on the plicae circularies of the small intestine?

A

The villi present on the plicae circularies increase the surface area for nutrient absorption in the small intestine

39
Q

What are the Crypts of Leiberkuhn?

A

The Cryps of Leiberkuhn are the spaces between the villi of the small intestine which contain glandular tissue and stem cells for enterocyte production

A

Caudal mesenteric artery

63
Q

Which vein drains the rectum?

A

Internal iliac vein which drains into the caudal vena cava

64
Q

What is the Hepatic Portal System?
