Exam #3 Flashcards
Ingestion
active process of bringing food into oral cavity
Mechanical processing
physical size reduction of food entering oral cavity (teeth=digestive system)
Propulsion
mvmt of material through digestive tract
Digestion
chemical breakdown of ingested materials
Secretion
amylase
Absorption
removal of nutrients and other materials
Excretion
elimination of waste products
Immunity
barrier against pathogenic bacteria
Oral cavity
-entrance to system
-begins at lips and extend to pharynx
Hard palate
-rostral, bony portion
-formed by palatine, maxillary and incisive bones
Soft palate
-caudal portion
-divides pharynx into oral and nasal
-when swallowing, soft palate closes nasopharynx
Palate

3 main parts of tongue
apex, base, root
Salivary glands
exocrine glands, secrete saliva into mouth through salivary ducts
Parotoid
lies at the base of the ear
Mandibular
mandibular ramus (angle of jaw)
Sublingual
under tongue
Epiglottis
flap of cartilage covering laryngeal opening
Esophagus
collapsible muscular tube
Omentum
-attaches stomach to body wall of other organs
-covering of gastrointestinal system
-has caul fat
Greater omentum
attaches to greater curvature
Lesser omentum
attaches to lesser curvature
Stomach
-extends from esophagus to duodenum
4 regions of simple stomach
cardia, fundus, body, and pyloric region
Cardia
junction between stomach and esophagus
Fundus
blind ended sac superior to cardia region
Body
largest region located between fundus and pylorus
Pyloric region
caudal end of the stomach, separated from intestines by pyloric sphincter
What animals have a simple stomach?
humans, pigs, horses
Ruminant stomach
reticulum–> rumen–> omasum–> abomasum (true stomach)
Reticulum
-most cranial
-honeycomb
-tripe
-traps foreign objects
Rumen
-left side of abdomen
-papilla lining
-fermentation site
Omasum
-spherical
-bible
Abomasum
-true stomach
-comparable to simple stomach in non-ruminant
Small inestine
primary site for digestion and nutrient absorption
Duodenum
-receives ingesta from stomach
-first part of the small intestine
-sigmoid loop of duodenum
Jejunum
-longest part of the small intestine, mesentery, nutrient absorption
Ileum
-end portion, empties into large intestine
-ileocecal fold
-very short
-below cecum
Large intestine
absorb electrolytes and water from fecal contents, extends from entrance at ileocecal junction to anus
Cecum
-first portion of the large intestine
-rounded blind tip that projects caudally
-THICKEST TUBE
Ascending colon
-proximal loop
-spinal colon
-distal loop
Proximal loop
receives digesta from the cecum, high moisture content, looks like a smaller cecum
Spiral colon
-removes moisture
-looks like a fat spiral
Distal loop
-receives digesta with little moisture
-first appearance of fecal balls
-tucked in proximal loop
-whiter because of less moisture
Descending loop
-takes waste to the rectum
-at top of body, squiggly with fat
Horse colon
-large colon (first portion)
-transverse colon (most moveable part)
-small colon (fecal balls)
Liver
-most cranial part of abdomen, behind diaphragm
-largest gland in body
-right and left lobe
Liver functions
-detox of toxins
-metabolize
-forms and secretes bile
Gallbladder
-located between lobes of liver
-stores bile
-break down fat molecules
Pancreas
-Underneath the sigmoid loop of the duodenum
-endocrine function: secretes insulin
-exocrine: produce digestive enzymes
Spleen
-dark in color, attached to rumen
-largest lymphoid organ
-stores red blood cells
Pyloric sphincter
at the end of abomasum
Mesenteric lymph nodes
goat: less centralized
dog: more centralized
Cardio system consists of
blood, heart, vascular system, lymphatic system
What does the cardio system do
-transport medium
-regulate body temp
-protection by transporting immune cells
Systemic system
oxygenated blood from left ventricle to all organs and tissues, deoxygenated blood back to right atrium
Pulmonary system
transfers deoxygenated blood from right ventricle to lungs, from lungs to left atrium
Lymph vascular system
lymph vessels, lymph nodes, lymphatic organs
Blood vascular system
blood, heart, arteries, capillaries, veins
Arteries
-move blood AWAY from heart
-carries oxygenated blood to tissues (except for pulmonary artery)
-thick, rigid walls
Capillaries
-small
-located btwn arteries and veins
-allow for gas exchange
Veins
-transport blood TO heart
-transport deoxygenated blood (except for pulmonary vein)
-thin walled
Myocardium
makes up the bulk of thickness, muscle layer
Endocardium
thin, inner layer, lines atria and ventricles
Epicardium
-thin, outer layer, covers surface of heart
-“visceral pericardium”
Pericardium
-fibrous sac that protects heart
-layers: fibrous pericardium, serous pericardium
Aorta
emerges from the left ventricle and carries oxygenated blood away from the heart
Ascending aorta
extends cranially
Descending aorta
travels caudally
Aortic arch
sharp bend in aorta
Vena cava
transports deoxygenated blood to the heart
Cranial vena cava
runs cranially (thin and more dark)
Caudal vena cava
runs caudally (thin and more dark)
Pulmonary trunk
-cross from right to left
-carries deoxygenated blood from right ventricle to lungs
Auricles
expand capacity of atria, elephant ears, flaps
Chordae tendineae
-“heart strings”
-help by papillary muscles
-support valves
Papillary muscles
muscles lining in ventricles that support valves, bump, opens valve
Pulmonary arteries
-2 branches
-carry deoxygenated blood to both lungs
Pulmonary veins
-move oxygenated blood from lungs to left atrium
Right atrium
receives deoxygenated blood from the body
Right ventricle
receives deoxygenated blood from R atrium, blood leaves and travels to lungs
Left atrium
receives only oxygenated blood from lungs
Left ventricle
receives oxygenated blood from L atrium, blood leaves and travels through aorta
Right AV valve (tricuspid)
between right atrium and right ventricle
Left AV valve (bicuspid/mitral)
thicker valve between left atrium and left ventricle
Pulmonary valve
controls pulmonary opening between right ventricle and pulmonary trunk
Aortic valve
controls aortic opening between left ventricle and aorta
RIGHT SIDE
deoxygenated
LEFT SIDE
oxygenated
Flow of blood through heart!
- Deoxygenated blood enters the right atrium through the vena cava
- Deoxygenated blood passes through the right AV valve into the right ventricle
- Deoxygenated blood passes through the pulmonary valve, into the pulmonary trunk, and leaves through the pulmonary artery to lungs
- Blood receives oxygen in the lungs
- Oxygenated blood enters the left atrium through the pulmonary vein
- Oxygenated blood passes through the left AV valve, into the left ventricle
- Oxygenated blood passes through the aortic valve and leaves the heart through the heart through the aorta (arch) to the lungs
