Lecture 30: Abdomen III Foregut Anatomy of Canines and Equines Flashcards
celiac artery: 3 branches
-splenic
-hepatic
-left gastric
2 branches of splenic artery
-left gastroepiploic
-small pancreatic branches
branch of left gastric artery
esophageal
3 branches of hepatic artery
-proper hepatic
-right gastric
-gastroduodenal
branch of proper hepatic artery
cystic
2 branches of gastroduodenal artery
-cranial pancreaticoduodenal
-right gastroepiploic
2 anastamoses within celiac artery branches
-right and left gastric
-right and left gastroepiploic
innervation of foregut: 3
-major and minor splanchnic nerves
-vagal trunks
-periarterial plexuses
periarterial plexuses: what kind of axons travel
postganglionic and preganglionic parasympathetics distributed to organs by traveling along with blood vessels
major and minor splanchnic nerves: axons, site of synapse
deliver preganglionic sympathetic axons from abdomen to synapse at celiac and cranial mesenteric ganglia
vagal trunks: axons, travel
travel through esophageal hiatus
-deliver preganglionic parasympathetic axons to foregut and midgut
where does the esophagus join the stomach after passing through the esophageal hiatus
cardia
tissues and cells required for esophagus to transfer food to stomach
-stratified squamous epithelial cells for protection
-mucous glands for lubrication
-skeletal and smooth muscle
esophagus is comprised of what kind of muscle tissue(s)
interwoven skeletal and smooth muscle
somatic motor innervation: esophagus
myenteric plexus between sublayers
transitional anatomy of esophagogastric junction (between esophagus and cardia)
stratified squamous to simple columnar with gastric pits
canine GI system: simple
GI tract 4x body length
GI of hindgut specialists/equine
-12x body length
-elaborated cecum for fermentation
-sacculated colon
