Ch.31 Stomach & Duodenum Flashcards
Capacity of equine stomach
5-15L
Part of stomach to right of midline
Pyloris
Most caudal part of stomach, where is it located
Fundus
14th-15th rib space
Where is the cardia attached and how
Diaphragm via Gastrophrenic lig
What is the gastrophrenic lig a continuation of
Phrenicosplenic lig and the gastrosplenic lig
Where does the greater omentum attach
Greater curvature
Blends into gastrophrenic lig
What blind space does the greater omentum create
Omental bursa
The entrance to the omental bursa is the epiploic foramen, what are its boarders
Inferior (caudal)Vena cava dorsally
Portal vein ventrally and hepatic artery
Caudate border of liver cranialLY
Right lobe of pancreas caudally
What connects the stomach and duodenum to the liver
Lesser omentum - hepatogastric and hepatoduodenal ligs
Blood supply to stomach
Celiac artery
Venous drainage gastric veins to portal vein
What structure lies within the cranial duodenal flexure
The duodenum forms a dilated ampulla then curves sharply dorsally creating a curve within which the pancreas lies
What structures open into the cranial duodenal flexure
Bile and pancreatic ducts - enter at the major duodenal papillae
Accessory pancreatic duct across from major duodenal papillae at the minor duodenal papilla
Where is the caudal duodenal flexure
At most dorsal point of duodenum
Runs across base of cecum
curves caudally around root of mesentery and goes to left abdomen
Where does the dudenocolic fold attach
Transverse colon and proximal descending colon
Blood supply to duodenum
Celiac A -> give off Gastroduodenal A
distally the Cranial mesenteric A
Venous drainage of duodenum
Cranial mesenteric v ->portal v
What are the 4 regions of the stomach based on type of mucosal lining
- Nonglandular stratified squamous ep
- Cardiac epi
- Proper gastric mucosa
- Pyloric mucosa
Which mucosal lining makes up most of the stomach
Stratified squamous 50%
What does the cardiac epithelium have the ability to secrete
Cells capable of secreting somatostatin - negative feedback for gastric acid secretion
The proper gastric mucosa has glands capable of secreting what
HCl secreting parietal cells
Pepsinogen secreting zymogen cells
Enterochromaffin-like ECF cells - histamine
