Q

What needs to be taken into account during humane slaughter of pigs and cows with bolt or bullet to the brain

Q

Why can the location and proximity of maxillary sinus to maxillary teeth in horses be problematic

A

Roots of the molars and premolars can protrude into the sinus which can result in transfer of infection between oral cavity/teeth and the nasal cavity, tooth root abscesses

Q

What is the rugae of the palate

Q

What is the incisive papilla

A

Raised bump directly caudal to central incisors

In animals where the incisive duct connects to the oral cavity the openings will be on either side of the papilla

Q

The dental pad although good for sheering grass what is a common complication

A

Hardware disease because they are unable to differentiate between grass and wire due to highly keratinized dental pad

19
Q

The ___ is composed of a broad aponeurosis covered dorsally with nasal mucosa and ventral with oral mucosa

A

Soft palate

20
Q

What does the flexibility of the soft palate provide control over

A

Separation between digestive pathway and respiratory pathway

21
Q

What is the palatinus muscle

A

Runs longitudinally through the ventral aspect of the sport palate, shortens and curdles the palate

22
Q

OINA for Levator veli palatini

A

O: muscular process of the temporal bone
I: dorsal surface of the soft palate
N: Vagus
A: elevate the soft palate

23
Q

OINA for tensor veli palatini

A

O: muscular process of the temporal bone
I: lateral edge of the soft palate after wrapping around the pterygoid halamus
N: mandibular nerve (CN v3)
A: tense the soft palate

24
Q

What two muscles connect the soft palate to other muscular structures

A

Palatoglossus and palatopharyngeus

25
Q

Which muscle is from the lateral aspect of the palate to the tongue

A

Pataloglossus

26
Q

Which muscle is from the caudolateral aspect of the palate to the pharyngeal wall and connects

A

Palatopharyngeus

27
Q

What nerve innervates the palatoglossus and the palatopharyngeus

A

Vagus CN X

28
Q

When viewed in combination the muscles of the soft palate (palatoglossus) form what

A

Palatoglossal arch

29
Q

What structure is found on the lateral wall of the oropharynx between the palatoglossal and palatopharyngeal folds

A

Palatine tonsil

30
Q

What is the palatine tonsil

A

Mass of lymphoid tissue near the confluence of the oral and respiratory pathway

31
Q

What does the descending palatine artery branch off of

A

Maxillary- terminal branch off its rostral end

32
Q

What artery enters the caudal palatine foramen and passes through the palatine canal to reach the hard palate

A

Major palatine artery

33
Q

What artery passes caudal to the margin of the hard palate to reach the soft palate

A

Minor palatine artery

34
Q

What two branches does the descending pharyngeal give off

A

Major palatine artery and sphenopalatine artery

35
Q

What two branches does the major palatine artery give off

A

Rostral and caudal branch

36
Q

What branch of the major palatine artery exit the major palatine foramen, run through the palatine groove to palatine fissure where it gives off a branch to the nasal cavity

A

Rostral branch

37
Q

What branch of the major palatine artery exits the minor palatine foramen and forms an anastomosis between the major and minor palatine arteries

A

Caudal branch

38
Q

Branches of what cranial nerve parallel the arteries and carry sensation from and provide postganglionic PNS to palatine mucosa

A

Maxillary nerve CN V2

39
Q

What are the three nerves that branch of maxillary nerve to supply palate

A

Major palatine, accessory palatine and minor palatine nerve

40
Q

What nerve runs with the rostral branch of major palatine artery to supply nasal cavity

A

Major palatine nerve

41
Q

What nerve runs with caudal branch of major palatine artery

A

Accessory palatine nerve

42
Q

What respiratory areas are affected in brachiocephalic breeds

A

Stenotic areas, obstructed nasal cavity, elongated soft palate, hypoplastic trachea

43
Q

Respiratory problems in brachiocephalic breeds can lead to problems with air pressure which can cause ____ or _____

A

Secondary tracheal or laryngeal collapse

44
Q

In horses what are the to structures that help isolate the respiratory and digestive pathways

A
  1. Especially long soft palate that hangs rostral and ventral to epiglottis
  2. Palatopharyngeus muscles form a sphincter around the protruding laryngeal opening to divide the space
