Hepatic blood circulation
Providing oxygen to organs
Nerves
Controls effector tissues Smooth muscle/skeletal muscle/ glands Walls of alimentary canal Esophagus and anus: skeletal In between: both
Factors involving digestion
Physical: chewing grasping mixing
Chemical: hcl Naco2
Biological: hormones and enzymes and microbes
Anatomy of upper digestive system: boundaries
Dorsal: hard and soft pellet
Cadual: entering pharynx
Ventral: soft tissue…floor of mouth
Lateral/cranial: teeth
Anatomy of upper digestive system: vestibule
In front of teeth and lips between teeth and cheeks…in front of cranial boundary
Temporary storage, protects mouth cavity proper
Anatomy of upper digestive system: lips
Must have muscle tissue
Most flexible: horses
Least flexible: pigs
Anatomy of upper digestive system: hard palate
Non-secreting mucous membrane
Lampers: inflammation of raphe
Anatomy of upper digestive system: tongue composition
Smooth and skeletal muscle
Anatomy of upper digestive system: tongue divisions
Tip: loose part (grasping) cranial
Body: tip to middle (frenulum)
Root: most stable (swallowing) caudal
