Q

What is the function of the ileal papilla in the horse?

A

Functions to occlude the ileum and ‘squirt’ portions of fluid ingesta through into the caecum. Valve tone prevents retrograde ingesta movement and bacterial inoculation of ileum

A

The right

26
Q

What shape is the pancreas in the pig? Where in the abdomen is it located?

A

Roughly tri-radiate

Dorsal, caudal to the stomach, mostly L of the median plane

27
Q

Where in the abdomen is the jejunum of the pig?

A

Right dorsal region, some coils may lie on abdominal floor

28
Q

What is the approximate length of the horse large intestine?

A

7.5 - 8m

29
Q

Which two segments of horse large intestine constitute the great colon?

A

The ascending + transverse colon

30
Q

What is the position of the equine caecum in the abdomen?

A

right ventral

31

Regarding the base of the horse caecum, the greater curvature is _____ and the lesser is ______ . (directional)

A

Regarding the base of the horse caecum, the greater curvature is dorsal and the lesser is ventromedial .

32
Q

Which curvature bears the openings of the horse caecum, and what are their names?

A

2

41
Q

What is the correct order of ingesta progress from caecum to small colon, including the flexures

A

Caecum > right ventral colon > sternal flexure > left ventral colon > pelvic flexure > left dorsal colon > diaphragmatic flexure > right dorsal colon > transverse colon > descending

42
Q

43
Q

The pelvic flexure occurs between which two colon segments?

A

Left ventral and Left dorsal

44
Q

The diaphragmatic flexure occurs between which two colon segments?

A

The left dorsal and right dorsal

45
Q

What three factors of the pelvic flexure predispose it to impaction?

A

Sudden change in calibre (narrower)
Sudden change in direction
Decrease in fluidity of ingesta

46
Q

What is the ileocaecal fold?

A

A section of mesentery between the ileum and caecum in a horse

47
Q

What conformation does the small colon of the horse take?

A

Coil shape - supported by long mesentery

48
Q

What are the three most common sites for impaction in the horse?

A

Pelvic flexure
Base of caecum
Terminal end of right dorsal colon

49
Q

Which vessels supply the intestines in the horse?

A

The cranial mesenteric artery - majority

The caudal mesenteric artery - descending colon and rectum
