3. Basal cells
- rough spherical, nuclei close to basement membrane

116
Q

Olfactory mucosa laminar propria and submucosa

A

contains Bowman’s glands (mainly serous)
Moistens surface so odiferous molecules can dissolve
Flush surface of epithelium to remove odiferous substances
Deep layers contain deep erectile venous peruses and bundles of non-myelinated olfactory nerve fibres (film olfactorum)

117
Q

Three functions of the nasal cavity

A
Olfaction
macrosmatic = good animal smell
Microsmatic = poor sense of smell (humans)
Anosmia = no smell sense
2. Filtration of inspired air
dust and bacteria are trapped in mucous layer
Removed by ciliary action
3. Warming and humidifying air 
maintain a layer of moisture in alveoli 
Humidified air assist with olfaction
Warm air holds more moisture
Warming air= thermoregulation
118

incomplete bony septum divides rostral and caudal parts
Drains -= middle meatus via nasomaxillary opening
Longitudinal plate of infraorbital canal divides it into lateral and medial
Important communication with cheek teeth

125

-with dorsal conchal diverticula
drains = caudal maxillary sinus via frontomaxillary opening (not directly into nasal cavity)
Many incomplete bony septa in frontal sinus

126

6 pairs of sinuses
Maxillary sinus with with diverticula 
palatine
Lacrimal
Sphenoid
Conchal

Frontal sinuses
completely surround cranial cavity
Involves frontal, parietal, interparietal, part of temporal, occipital bones
Corneal diverticulum in adults (deworming adult cattle exposes mucoperiosteum of frontal sinus)

127
Q

Explain pig paranasal sinuses

A
5 Pairs of paranasal sinuses
Maxillary sinus with 3 diverticula
Lacrimal
Sphenoid
Conchal
Frontal sinus
involves frontal and parietal bones 
Large (up to 5 cm deep)
Difficult to stem pigs mechanically
128
Q

Explain dog paranasal sinuses

A

Two basic Paris of sinuses
Maxillary
often called maxillary recess as communicates freely with nasal cavity
Carnassial tooth embedded in later wall of sinus
Frontal sinus = small and insignificant

129
Q

Cat paranasal sinus

A

two basic pairs of sinus, similar to dog
Maxillary
0 can have sphenoid extension
P3 and P4 just under orbit therefore infection here can cause discharge and swelling in the eye
Frontal sinus
- blockage or infection of frontal sinus can be alleviated by flushing ethmoidal meatus via sinus

130
Q

Explain the Nasopharynx

A

Air reaches here from the choanae(internal nares) to nasopharynx
chonanae are separated by vomer (dorsal to palatine bone)

131
Q

Explain the Eustachian tubes

A

Nasopharynx is connect to middle ear via the auditory (Eustachian) tubes
supported by a cartilaginous trough open ventrally
Keeps middle ear at ambient pressure
In horse = ventrally to form large paired guttural pouches

132
Q

Explain guttural pouches

A

paired, ventral invaginations of E tubes
Thin walled
Occupy space between base of cranium, atlas and pharynx
Lined with pseudostratificed columnar epithelium
Goblet cells present (mucous)
Guttural pouches sit over stylohhyoid bone which divides them into a small lateral and large medial portion

133
Q

List blood vessel associated with guttural pouch walls

A

Blood vessels
external and internal carotid artiery
Maxillary artery and vein
Ventral cerebral and transverse facial veins

134
Q

List nervous structures associated with guttural such walls

A
Facial CNVII

IX

X
XI
XII
cranial cervical ganaglion
135
Q

List gland structures associated with guttural such walls

A

Salivary glands - parotid and submandibular

136
Q

Drainage of guttural pouches

A

Each pouch communicates w nasopharynx via the silt- like pharyngeal orifice of auditory tube opens into nasopharynx
slit supported by cartilage
Opens durning grazing and swallowing
Fluid can accumulate whne block or excessive secretion

137
Q

Surgical access to guttural pouch

Via Viborg’s triangle
lingo facial vein
Ramus of mandible
Tendon of sternocephalic muscle

138
Q

Guttural pouch possible fx

A

selective cooling of brain
Blood to brain internal carotid artery
Allow loose attachment to pharynx to increase swallowing efficiency in long necked animals

139
Q

Cardio-respiratory evolution

A

Major changes in cardiovascular system have accompanied changes in respiratory system

Over time it has become more efficient with 4 chambers and seperate pulmonary and systemic circulation

140
Q

Cardio-respiratory evolution in fish

A

Gas exchange in gills
Requires flow through mouth and over membranes to allow gas exchange
Fish have 1 capillary bed before return to heart
Mammals have 2 capillary beds before return to heart

141
Q

Cardio-respiratory evolution from fish to land

A

Lobe-finned fish were first to have both gills and lungs

  • lungs evolved from single ventral out-pouching of gut
  • then due to stability problems with ventral position in water, the lungs migrated to a dorsal position
142
Q

Swim bladder in fish

A

In modern boney, ray-finned fish is a homolog of lungs

Some swim bladders retain connection with gut via pneumatic duct (trachea homolog)

Lost in most advanced fish, gas regulated by red body

different but very efficient system of pulmonary ventilation compared with mammals
System of air sacs
A flow through system
No gas exchange in air sacs
Air flows through lungs during both inspiration and expiration
Counter current blood flow system as air flows one way
(Very efficient at extracting O2)
