Q

What is the reticuloabomasal ligament and clin sig

A

One of the smooth muscle bands that connects fundus of the abomasum with reticulum and rumen.

It is covered by greater omentum

It is a landmark for abdominal exploration & surgery

Because of this attachment, displacements of the abomasum involve the reticulum & omasum.

Q

an opened omasoabomasal orifice (vela abomascia)

29
Q

What clin conditions are associated with the abomasum

A

Right displaced abomasum (rda): abomasum moves from the ventral abdomen to a position lateral to the omental sling on the cow’s right side.

left displaced abomasum (lda)

30
Q

What complications can occur with an RDA

A

damage to vagal nerves because these nerves are located along the lesser curvature of abomasum, and are twisted with torsion of pylorus (RTA)→ vagal indigestion.

abomasal volvulus (life threatening)

31
Q

Where is the greater omentum attached

A

The superficial wall … Lt. Longitudinal
groove

The deep wall … along the right
Longitudinal groove.

Both walls continuous at the caudal groove.

Greater curvature of the abomasum and the ventral part of the descending duodenum

32
Q

What is the supraomental recess

A

V-shaped hammock, “omental sling” where most of the intestinal mass is located (Intestinal pouch )

Formed by deep and superficial wall of greater omentum

Closed cranially, Open caudally where
- the intestine can leave caudally
- The pregnant uterus can enter

33
Q

What other structures does the greater omentum attach to aside from the stomach and clin sig

A

runs over the dorsal ruminal sac
as its visceral layer, helping to attach the spleen to the rumen, and attaching the dorsal sac of the rumen to the sublumbar region.

This sublumbar attachment gives the rumen great stability

34
Q

where is the lesser omentum and clin sig

A

covers the right side of
the omasum - “pig’s ear”. -

Omentopexy and identifying the abomasum in LDL

35
Q

Describe stomach innervation and what it controls

A

rumen: dorsal vagal trunk
other compartments: ventral vagal trunk

Controls complex contraction cycle in the ruminant stomach, eructation and regurgitation, and closure of the gastric groove

36
Q

What can occur if the vagal trunks are damages and what can cause this

A

Damage to vagal trunks → Vagal indigestion

Maybe due to:
- Caudal mediastinal ln.
- RDA

37
Q

what stimulates gastric groove closure

A

Suckling with the heads up causes the lips of this groove to close.

38
Q

What is the gastric groove

A

runs dorsoventrally, which permits easy passage of liquids into the abomasum.

in all domestic animalsm but greatest importance in suckling ruminants

39
Q
A
  1. Cardiac opening
  2. Reticulo-omasal opening
    3 & 4. Right and left lips of reticular groove
  3. Floor of gastric groove
40
Q

Name the three parts of the gastric groove

A

Reticular (esophageal, milk) groove
(not the same thing as ruminoretucular groove which is external!!!)
Omasal groove
Abomasal groove

41
Q

How to deliver anthelmintics for rumen/reticulum vs abomasal worms

A

rumen/reticulum: directly by stomach tube
abomasum: drugs containing copper/nicotine sulfates to stimulate gastric groove closure

42
Q

How to evaluate for vagal inidgestion

A

Give Sodium sulfate- water drench- then auscultate water dribbling in abomasum.

Give Sodium sulfate- Glucose water- measure blood glucose levels → (increased).

43
Q

Where is the spleen located

A

entirely on the left side

firmly attached to the craniodorsal aspect of the rumen. (area of adhesion)

compressed between

44
Q

compare/contrast bodine and small ruminant spleen

A

cattle: elliptical shape, elongated hilus

small rum: more triangular shaped, focal hilus (only one area)

45
Q

What are hemal nodes

A

receive and filter blood instead of lymph

found in ruminants in many parts of the
body (especially along the aorta)

distinguished from lymph nodes by their
dark brown color

normal structures

46
Q

What are these

A

Hemal nodes

47

the diaphragm (within the dorsal attachment of the greater
omentum).

51
Q

Where is the right lobe of the pancreas located

A

mesoduodenum

52
Q

Where is the body of the pancreas located

A

near hilus of the liver

Q

Pancreas species differences between large and small ruminants

A

In the ox, the accessory pancreatic duct is the main duct, opens @ minor duod. papilla (don’t have pancreatic duct in major papilla)

Small ruminants, only the pancreatic duct (opens with the bile duct @ the major duod. Papilla)

54

A

found in the mesojejunum,
along attached border of mesojejunum

B = transverse colon
C = descending colon
D = sigmoid colon

64

Q

Where is the left kidney compared to right

A
