Q

Where do they pre-ganglionics of the major/minor splanchnic nerves synapse? Where do the post ganglionics run to?

A

In caeliaco-mesenteric ganglia

Post-ganglionics travel with arteries to abdominal organs

Q

The pelvic nerve supplies which structures?

A

Descending colon and pelvic viscera

17
Q

Which arteries supply the following areas of the abdominal wall:

  • cranio-dorso-lateral
  • caudo-dorsal-lateral
  • cranio-ventral lateral
A
  • Cranial abdominal
  • Deep external iliac
  • Cranial epigastric
18
Q

What is the importance of the cranial superficial epigastric artery?

A
  • Supplies the cranio-ventral abdominal wall

- Also supplies the mammary gland in tissues

19
Q

What are the 3 major branches off the aorta, what does each supply?

A

Caeliac = cranial abdominal organs
Cranial mesenteric = mid-abdominal organs
Caudal mesenteric = caudal abdominal organs

20
Q

Which 3 arteries arise from the Caeliac artery?

A
  • Hepatic artery
  • Left gastric artery
  • Splenic artery
21
Q

Which 3 arteries arise from the Hepatic artery?

A
  • Hepatic branches supplying the liver and gall bladder
  • Right gastric artery
  • Gastro-duodenal artery
22
Q

Describe the 4 arteries that innervate the stomach

A
  • Right and left gastric arteries supply the right and left lesser curvatures
  • Right and left gastro-epiploic arteries supplies the right and left greater curvatures
23
Q

What the the 3 main branches of the Cranial mesenteric artery?

A
  • Ileo-colic artery
  • Caudal pancreatico-duodenal artery
  • Jejunal arteries
24
Q

Give the branches of the ileo-colic which supply the following:

  • Transverse colon
  • Right colic flexure
  • Ascending colon
  • Caecum
  • Ileum
A
  • Middle colic artery
  • Right colic artery
  • Colic branch of ileo-colic artery
  • Caecal branch of ileo-colic
  • Mesenteric ileal artery
25
Q

What are the 2 branches of the caudal mesenteric artery and what does each supply?

A
  • Left colic artery supplying the left colic flexure and descending colon
  • Cranial rectal artery supplying the cranial rectum
26
Q

What is an anastomoses?

A

Safety mechanism (if an artery gets occluded the organ will be able to receive blood via a different route)

27
Q

All GI organs and the spleen drain via which vein?

A

Hepatic portal vein

28
Q

Non-GI organs drain where?

A

Directly into the caudal vena cava

29
Q

Which main branch off the aorta does not have a corresponding vein?

A

Celiac

30
Q

Describe how a ruminants stomach is supplied by the different arteries?

A
  • Rumino-reticulum / greater curvature of abomasum = Left / right gastro-epiploic
  • Omasum / lesser curvature of abomasum
    = Left / right gastric
31
Q

Which arteries supply the large caecum in horses and pigs?

A

Medial and lateral caecal arteries

32
Q

Where does the colic branch of the ileo colic artery supply in:

  • horses
  • pigs/ruminants
A
  • Ventral colon

- Centripetal coils

33
Q

Where does the right colic artery supply in:

  • horses
  • pigs/ruminants
A
