Q

What is this and clin sig

A

Sublingual vein

IF ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY
during anesthesia, this vein can
be used as a site for venipuncture.
However, the loose connective
tissue surrounding the vein
promotes formation of large
hematomas. So it is not advisable.

Also can feel pulse here

A

A risk of injury to the major palatine a. or for the palatine venous plexus by a sharp-edged instruments, as a tooth chisel, especially if the horse resist manipulation . The consequences are heavy bleeding.

Clinical Note: The mucosa covering the hard palate of the horse caudal to the incisors may bulge ventrally due to significant development of submucosal vascular plexus. This is normal for the horse. In foals, this bulging of the hard
palate mucosa may be mistaken for an abnormal swelling.

79
Q
A

Viborg’s triangle

80
Q

name the structures in the facial groove in a horse

A

Yellow: parotid duct
Blue: facial vein
Red: Facial artery

81
Q

Species differences and clin sig of facial groove

A

In the horse: pulse site

In the cow: the
sternomandibularis is
inserted on the body
of mandible →
prevents facial artery
and vein and parotid
duct from being
palpable

82
Q

A

Tartar buildup @ upper carnassial tooth

Sialoliths In ox and horse, the parotid duct may become occluded by
salivary stones.

Salivary mucocele or sialocele
Damaged salivary gland or duct →
leaked saliva → a cyst-like
accumulations in the adjacent tissues. Treatment involves removal of the
glands & their ducts.

83
Q

Species differences with buccal salivary glands

A

in all animals there are dorsal & ventral buccal SGs

In dog, cat and camel the dorsal buccal is enlarged & called zygomatic (or orbital) SG. It is located medial &
ventral to zygomatic arch

Molar glands are the caudal continuation of the ventral buccal deep to the masseter muscle.

In Ruminants there is middle buccal sg.

84
Q
A

Orange = Parotid gland and it duct (#2)

Red = mandibular gland and its duct (#4)

Green = Sublingual gland monostomatic (#5) and polystomatic #6)

Blue = Buccal gland, Dorsal buccal (zygomatic in dog & cat) (#7), Middle buccal (#8), Ventral buccal (#9)

85
Q

Where is the zygomatic salivary gland and duct located and where does the duct empty

A

Located deep to the rostral zygomatic arch

Zygomatic duct (3)
* Empties into the buccal vestibule
by zygomatic papilla
* ~1 cm caudal to the parotid
papilla (at the level of last molar)

86
Q

Where is the mandibular salivary gland located and where does the duct empty

A

Ventral to parotid sg in carnivores
* Partially covered by the parotid salivary gland
* In the dog it lies between the
linguofacial and maxillary veins.
* Mandibular duct empties at the sublingual caruncle

87
Q

A

The large, mandibular sg is easy to feel at the angle of the jaw.
Note: The smaller, more mobile
mandibular lnn (10) lie just rostral to the sg. Telling them apart in the living dog takes practice
