identify structures visible in lateral radiograph of abdomen
caudal boundary of abdomen?

cranial boundary of abdomen?
pelvic inlet

diaphragm
Linea alba
-formed by the fusion of the aponeuroses of the abdominal muscles
-separates the left and right rectus abdominis muscles.
-median incision through the linea alba is a common surgical approach.
Identify muscle in RED
External Abdominal Oblique m.
identify muscle
Rectus Abdominis m.
Identify muscle
Transversus Abdominis m.
Blood Supply—Abdominal Wall
Peritoneal Cavity
space betw. parietal peritoneum and visceral peritoneum, that is, two membranes that separate organs in abdominal cavity from abdom.wall.

Contains intestines, stomach, and liver
3 types of peritoneum
Connecting Peritoneum ?
Connecting Peritoneum (just like Connecting Pleura) = BILAYER

Bilayer = avenue for vessels & nerves to reach the organs

Mesentery - connect jejunum and ilium to back wall
Ligament (fold)
Omentum - attaches to greater and lesser curvatures of stomach
greater and lesser omentum
folds of connecting peritoneum that hang down either side of stomach.

Lesser omentum is connects top edge of stomach to undersurface of liver.

Greater omentum is attached to bottom edge of the stomach, and hangs down in front of the intestines. Its other edge is attached to the transverse colon.
What is more ventral pyloric or fundus?
pyloric
What are two layers of greater omentum?
greater and lesser leaves
Which side of diaphragm can be seen on xrays?

Cranial or
Caudal?
Cranial: Yes because of contrasting air density

Caudal: No, due to water density
What is ascites? What causes it?
Fluid in the abdomen, caused by right heart failure
What vessels supply the fundus of the stomach?

What supplies these vessels?
short gastric aa from splenic a
what are the 3 branches of the celiac artery?
hepatic, splenic and left gastric
What do the celiac, cranial and caudal mesenteric aa supply?
viscera drained by portal vein
Name 3 main unpaired branches of abdominal aorta?
1. Celiac a.
2. cranial mesenteric a.
3. caudal mesenteric a.
What are the primary abd organs not drained by the portal v? why?
kidneys, adrenal glands, gonads, liver; not drained b/c hormones would be destroyed by the liver
What gland is part of the sympathetic ANS?
adrenal glands (medulla)
laparotomy
surgical procedure involving an incision through abdominal wall to gain access into abdominal cavity. It is also known as coeliotomy. e.g.exploratory laparotomy
What structure of the renal pelvis shows up in contrast studies of the kidney that can give clues to problems?
pelvic recesses
What is inflammation of the kidney and its pelvis?
pyelonephritis
What is an incision in to a kidney?
nephrotomy
What is the removal of a kidney? what should be checked first?
nephrectomy; check for another kidney before removal of the 1
How do u visualize the kidneys during a laparotomy?
pull descending colon and its mesocolon or descending duodenum and its mesoduodenum medially and look in abd gutter for left and right kidneys

(basically sounds like you are lifting edging of gut up to visualize what's beneath)
Where are the collateral ganglia of the sympathetic division located?
near branches of abd aorta
Describe kidney location in relation to peritoneum
“retroperitoneal”
in position (pressed against abdominal wall, behind parietal peritoneum)
The descending duodenum is on what side of the abdomen?
Right
List the parts of the small and large intestine?
* Sm: duodenum, jejunum, ileum
* Lg: cecum colon (ascending, transverse and descending)
* Rectum and anal canal
On what side is the cecum located? Pylorus?
Right side
What is the opening of the ileum into the colon (not cecum)?
ileocolic (ileal) opening
# What is the course of the transveres colon in all domestic species?
right to left craial to root of mesentery
On which side of the animal is the descending colon
left, often called the left colon
The common bile duct enters the duodenum at the _ along with the _ duct?
major duodenal papillae, pancreatic duct
List the parts of the pancreas and their locations?
right limb, mesoduodenum, body: near pylorus; left limb: deep leaf greater omentum
What peritoneum connects the liver and the ventral abdominal wall
falciform ligament
Name of duct draining bile from the liver?
hepatic duct (merges into duct leaving gall bladder to duodenum)
Name of duct proximal to gall bladder?

Name of duct attaching to descending duodenum ?
cystic duct

bile duct; formed by joining cystic and hepatic ducts
Point of contact between bile duct and desc.duodenum?
major duodenal papilla

small projection onto which bile and pancreatic ducts open, located on the mesoduodenal side of duodenum
where greater omentum fold opens (omental bursa)
epiploic foramen

opening into omental bursa; located between portal v. and caudal vena cava
What is epithelium of all serous membranes?
mesothelium
What artery supplies mesojejunum?

what artery (branch of above) runs on top of jejunum?
Cranial mesenteric a. (splits to form jejunal branches)

antimesenteric ileal artery (it's away from mesentery)
