Celiacomesenteric plexus

125
Q

What lies inside the supraomental recess in the ruminant?

A

The jejunum

126
Q

Where are the jejunal lymph nodes in the large ruminant in comparison to the small? Why is this important to remember?

A

In the large ruminant, the lymph nodes are next to the jejunum. In the small, the centrifugal gyrus of the ascending colon lies next to the jejunum. During meat inspection, you may need a sample of lymphatic tissues. Be careful to not take a fecal sample instead in the small ruminant.

135
Q

T/F Horses have a gallbladder.

A

False

136
Q

What are the two structures in the horse that are most commonly entrapped in the epiploic foramen?

A

The jejunum and ileum

137
Q

Why is the ileocecal fold significant in the horse?

Rectum: 0
Descending Colon (small colon): 2
Transverse Colon: 2
Right Dorsal Colon: 3
Left Dorsal Colon: 1

140
Q

141
Q

Where is the pelvic flexure located?

A

In between the left ventral and left dorsal colon

142
Q

What is located in between the left dorsal colon and the right dorsal colon?

A

Dorsal diaphragmatic flexure

143
Q

What is the communication called in between the cecum and the ascending colon?

A

cecocolic orifice

144
Q

Which region of the cecum in the horse is not mobile due to its attachment to the dorsal body wall?

A

Base

145
Q

How is the body of the cecum held in place?

A

Cecocoli fold on the right abdominal wall

146
Q

What lies in between the right and left ventral colon and is easily displace?

A

Apex of cecum

147
Q

What supplies the cecum in the horse with blood?

A

Ileocolic artery with lateral cecal and medial cecal branches

148
Q

The mesocolon attaches which pairs of the ascending colon together?

A

THe right dorsal colon and right ventral colon

The left dorsal colon and left ventral colon

149
Q

Why is is easy for impactions to occur in the left dorsal colon of the horse?

A

The dorsal colon is smaller than the ventral colon and creates a bottleneck effect in pelvic flexure

150
Q

On which side of the horse are the majority of the mesenteries of the large intestine located?

A

On the right side making the left ascending colon more easily displaced due to less attachments

151
Q

What is a common site of entrapment of the left large colon near the left kidney and spleen called?

A

Nephrosplenic ligament

152
Q

The colic branch of the ileocolic artery supplies the proximal part of the __________ colon, while the right colic artery supplies the distal part of the _________ colon in the horse.

A

ascending (ventral); ascending (dorsal)

153
Q

What is a possible cause of impaction in the right dorsal colon of the horse?

A

The highly constricted and smaller transverse colon

154
Q

On which side of the horse can the small colon be accessed?

A

Left paralumbar fossa

155
Q

What are the three anchors that keep the large colon in place?

A
  1. Duodenocolic fold
  2. Cecocolic fold
  3. Ligament holding base of cecum to dorsal body wall
