the liver is the most _____ organ in the abdominal cavity, and it is the _____ gland in the body
cranial

the main product of the liver is
bile
the gallbladder is found between which two lobes of the liver?
the quadrate lobe and the right medial lobe
the liver is fixed in the abdominal cavity via what structures?
right and left triangular ligament
coronary ligament
falciform ligament
the coronary ligament surrounds the _____ and _____
vena cava
esophagus
the parietal surface faces the _____, is smooth and domed looking
the visceral surface faces the _____, is concave
diaphragm
stomach and intestines
the ____artery and the ____vein are the main blood supply for the liver?
hepatic
portal
what does portal circulation refer to?
blood is being delivered to 2 capillary beds: capillary bed into the venous system, then into a second capillary system before returning to central circulation
in this case, the abdominal viscera is the first capillary bed, and the second capillary bed is the liver which exposes the blood to hepatocytes which drains back to the vena cava
the portal vein enters the visceral surface at the ____
porta
the falciform and round ligament attach what structures? How do they differ?
the ventral liver to the floor of the abdomen
the falciform ligament goes over the parietal surface, and the round ligament will dive deeply between the left medial and the quadrate lobe
the gallbladder empties into the _____ which goes to the _____ onto the _____
bile duct
duodenum
major duodenal papillae
in the dog, the caudate lobe is in contact with____ and the ___ is buried into the caudate lobe. in pigs, the _____ does not make contact with the caudate lobe
the roof of the abdomen
right kidney
right kidney
in pigs, the ____lobe is smaller and tucked up higher
quadrate
in ____, the liver is lifted off the floor of the abdomen
horses
which species do not have a gallbladder?
horses, rats, and cervids
____ have a left laterial and a left medial lobe, but there is just a right lobe, it is not split into lateral and medial
horses
in cattle, the liver sits directly on top of the ____. It comes in contact with what 3 structures?
omasum
omasum, reticulum, and cranial pole of right kidney
as the stomach gets bigger, the liver tends to move in a _____ direction
counter-clockwise
in ____, there is no left medial and left lateral lobe, there is only a left lobe. the left lobe is divided from the quadrate lobe by the ____. there is also just one right lobe, and it is divided from the quadrate by the ____
cattle
round ligament
gallbladder
how does the blood supply to the spleen differ in species?
in ruminants, there is a hilus, but in other species it is distributed on the visceral surface
in the horse spleen, the portion between the spleen and the stomach is called the
gastrosplenic ligament referring to the greater omentum between the spleen and stomach
the renalsplenic ligament connects the
spleen with the kidney
what is the name of the structure that connects the diaphragm to the spleen?
the phrenicosplenic ligament
the spleen in ruminants is separated from the
greater omentum
which animals have a muscular spleen capsule?
horses, carnivores
weaker in ruminants

cranial mesenteric artery and the caudal vena cava
there are ___ outlets or ducts going to the duodenum from the pancreas. the first duct opens on the _____, called the ____, which is the same duct that the ____ opens up on
the second duct opens on the ____, called the ____, which is the one that is ALWAYS there and is the main pancreatic duct for dogs
2
major duodenal papilla
pancreatic duct
common bile duct
minor duodenal papilla
accessory pancreatic duct
