Comparative Lab Flashcards
What structure does the greater omentum develop from?
Dorsal mesogastrium
What areas does the great omentum attach?
Greater curvature of the stomach
What structure is located within the superficial leaf of the greater omentum?
Spleen
What structure lies within the deep leaf of the greater omentum?
Left lobe of pancreas
What is this?
Cardiac or pyloric glands
Glandular epithelial cells: mucus producing cells
What is this?
Proper gastric glands
Glandular Epithelial cells : Parietal cells , Chief cells
What do parietal cells produce?
H+ and Cl-
What do chief cells produce?
Pepsinogen and rennin
What feature in horses differentiates the glandular from non-glandular regions?
Margo plicatus
In horses, what is the distribution of the glandular region?
The cardiac region is narrow.
Glandular region is mainly proper gastric glands and pyloric glands
What is a unique feature in the pig stomach?
Gastric diverticulum, torus pyloricus
What is the distribution of glands in the pig stomach?
The cardiac glands 1/3
Remainder is proper gastric and pyloric glands
What is the structure of the ruminant stomach?
Rumen, Reticulum, Omasum : non glandular, referred to as forestomach
Abomasum: glandular
Function of rumen
Fermentation vat in which microorganisms act on ingests to produce short chain volatile fatty acids to produce energy
Reticulum and Omasum function
Mechanically break down ingesta
Pathway through compound stomach of adults
Ingesta -> Rumen/reticulum -> redirected to esophagus where it is regurgitated into the mouth as cud and rechecked ->re swallowed into rumenoreticulum -> omasum -> abomasum -> glandular secretions added -? Duodenum
