Compare the depth of the chest in dog, horse, ruminant
ruminants>horse>dog
Why the difference in chest depth?
Chest in deeper in herbivores to make possible a deeper abdominal cavity for more massive abdominal viscera needed to digest plant material and allow time for fermentation
Where do the intercostal veins drain to?
azygos vein
What side would you choose to correct a PDA (patent ductus arteriosus)?
Right lateral recumbency (PDA would have to be accessed from left side)
The subsinuosal interventricular groove of the heart takes its name from what adjacent structure?
coronary sinus
The paraconal interventricular groove of the heart takes its name from what adjacent structure?
conus arteriosus
shunts blood from the pulmonary trunk to the aorta
ductus arteriosus
shunt that diverts blood away from the sinusoids and toward systemic veins
ductus venosus
origin of subsinusoidal artery in dog and ox
left coronary artery
origin of subsinusoidal artery in horse and pig
right coronary artery
Flaps of AV valves (how they are named)
Right AV valve: septal, parietal, angular cusps - Left AV valve: septal and parietal cusps
Drain into sinus venarum in dog
great and middle cardiac veins
smooth-walled area of right atrium where blood is received from vena cavae and coronary sinus
sinus venarum
junction between sinus venosus and heart in developing embryo
crista terminalis
What species would be best for myocardial sampling and what route?
swine because they have a left azygos vein only and it drains to the cardiac vein
