- well encapsulated by a c.t.
Taste bud
- supports the gustatory cells
- vacuolatedb acidophilic cytoplasm with dense elongated nucleus
Supporting or sustentacular cells (Type I cells)
- bipolar neurons that are specialized to receive stimuli for the sense of taste
- presents axon and dendrite, dark acidophilic cytoplasm with vesticular and pale nuclues
Gustatory cells (Type II cells)

- protects the gustatory cells
Basal cells

- completely embedded in the tongue and anchored at
the bottom by a short broad stalk
Circumvallate (vallate)
- Derived from the foregut
▪ Wall is made up of endoderm
Pharynx
-separated from nasopharynx by the soft palate
- ventral part of the pharynx
Oropharynx
❑Develops from part of the foregut
caudal to the pharynx
❑Elongates during growth of the
cervical and thoracic regions of
the body
Esophagus
- Found in carnivores, equine,
pig and primates - Divided histologically into
esophageal, cardiac, fundic
and pyloric regions
Simple stomach
except that the esophageal region is divided into 3 compartments: rumen, reticulum and omasum.
Compound or Ruminant
Stomach
from the embryonic fundus?
Rumen and reticulum
from a ventral diverticulum of the lesser
curvature of embryonic stomach
Omasum
Dorsal surface becomes convex
greater curvature
Cranial aspect of greater curvature
fundus
Ventral surface becomes concave
lesser curvature
Dorsal mesogastrium extends caudally to the left and
eventually becomes folded?
greater omentum
The cavity between dorsal and ventral sheets of the greater omentum
omental bursa
Opening into the omental bursa
gastroepiploic foramen or
F of Winslow
is also called book, characterized by the presence of grossly visible leaf- like primary papillae of varying height
Omasum
The mucosa of the blank presents tall primary reticular papillae folds which anastomose to form tiny compartments (cells) giving the surface a honeycomb appearance.
Reticulum
Portion of the digestive tube between the stomach and the large intestine.
Small intestine
It is the glandular part of the ruminant stomach that corresponds to the simple stomach.
Abomasum
Short portion that connects with the pylorus of
stomach cranially and jejunum caudally. Gives rise to the liver and pancreas
Duodenum
longest part of the small intestine
Jejunum
short portion that connects with the jejunum cranially
and caecum caudally

digestive system - corresponds to anus of
mammals
Cloacal lip

alimentary tract
Extramural glands
3 extramural glands in most domestic animals
liver, pancreas and major salivary glands
is a storage organ for bile
connected by cystic duct to the liver
Gall bladder
- Parenchyma (functional part made up of hepatocytes) – derived from foregut endoderm (hepatic diverticulum). *
- Stroma (capsule and connective tissue support) – from splanchnic mesoderm that invests the endoderm.
Liver
-based on morphologic structure and
endocrine function (basic structural unit
of the liver)
- It is a hexagonal structure with the
central vein at the center, radiating from it
are hepatic laminae and hepatic cords
separated by sinusoids
Classic lobule or hepatic lobule
- Based on the direction of bile flow
(exocrine function) - It is a triangular area that is formed
by: three classic lobules
Portal lobule
- It is based on the vascular or nutritional
or metabolic perspective - It is described as a diamond shaped area formed by 2 adjacent hepatic lobules: the corners will be formed by the 2 central veins and the 2 portal areas.
Hepatic acinus
- it is made up of liver parenchyma adjacent to the
septum. It will form an oval outline when the zones It has
the best blood supply. - But in case of poisoning, this will be the most damage
zone
Zone 1
- it lies adjacent and external to zone 1, contains
the liver parenchyma between the central vein and the interlobular connective tissue septum, combining the two zone 2s, it will form a circular structure.
Zone 2
- it is triangular in shape between zone 2 and the central vein.
- receives the poorest blood supply.
Zone 3
- appears in the same region and at the same time as the liver. It is derived from 2 endodermal primordia that later become fused.
Pancreas
- secrete saliva through ducts that
empty into the oral cavity - with a duct system
Major salivary gland
- largest salivary gland
- most domestic animals, rodents and humans: purely serous
Parotid gland
- more prominent capsule
- more intralobular ducts
Submandibular or submaxillary gland
