Accessory digestive structures in the mouth
Lips, Teeth, Tongue, Cheek, Hard and Soft Palate
Segments of esophagus
Cervical, Thoracic, Abdominal
Concentric layers of esophagus
Tunica Adventitia, Tunica Muscularis, Tunica Mucosa, Tunica Submucosa
Parts of stomach in monogastric animals
Cardiac, Fundus, Body, Pylorus
Sphincters of stomach
Cardiac and Pyloric Sphincter
Concentric layers of stomach, small int and large int

Cardia and Pylorus directed to what side of the body
Left for Cardiac Region
Right of Pyloric Region
Peritoneal folds of stomach
Gastrophrenic, Gastrosplenic, Gastropancreatic, Lesser Omentum, Greater Omentum
Peritoneal fold that is connected to the Diaphragm
Gastrophrenic
Peritoneal fold that is connected to the Spleen
Gastrosplenic
Peritoneal fold that is connected to the Pancreas
Gastropancreatic
Peritoneal fold that is connected to the Greater Curvature
Greater Omentum

Segments of small intestine
Duodenum, Jejunum, Ileum
Describe duodenum
1st Segment, and the Fixed part where the Bile and Pancreatic duct empties
Describe jejunum
2nd Segment, and the longest, movable and most absorptive
Describe ileum
3rd Segment, movable, and has immunologic functions (Peyer’s patches)
Fixed part of small intestine
Duodenum
Mesenteric parts of small intestine
Jejunum and Ileum
Double layer of peritoneum wherein the mesenteric part of small intestine is connected
Common Mesentery
Differentiate Villi from Peyers patches
Villi are Finger-like projections while Peyer’s patches are large lymphoid aggregates found in the Ileum
Ducts that open into small intestine
Cystic Duct, Hepatic Duct, Bile Duct, Dorsal and Ventral Pancreatic Ducts
Forms upon union of the hepatic duct and the cystic duct
Bile Duct
Forms upon the union of lobar ducts of the liver
Hepatic Duct
Is a single cystic duct arising from the gall bladder.
Cystic Duct
Segments of large intestine:
Cecum, Colon, Rectum
Longitudinal bands that run along the outside of intes.
Taenia
Sacculations caused by constriction of intes.
Haustra
