what are the different stages/functions of digestion?
ingestion ( prehension/mastication)
digestion
absorption
metabolism
excretion
Digestive tract lies within abdominal and pelvic cavities

__ peritoneum; layer of serosa that lies directly on the organ

___ peritoneum; layer of serosa that invests the abdominal wall
visceral

parietal
What makes horses different as far as their oral cavity?
horses are obligate nose breathers bc they have an extended soft palate
what are the parts of the digestive system?
oral cavity
pharynx
esophagus
stomach ( ruminant/non-ruminant)
sm intestines
large intestines
what are the glands/accessory glands of the digestive system?
salivary glands
pancreas
gall bladder(horses do not have)
liver
__= Fxn; holding, grinding, mixing food with saliva
-labia, mucocutaneous junction (corner of mouth)
- small ruminants have deeply grooved philtrium
-oral vestibule
-hard palate rostrally
-soft palate caudally
mouth oral cavity
Hole in the diaphragm =
esophageal hiatus
__= arranged in 2 dental arcades; one with mandible and other with incisive and maxillary bones
teeth
__= physiologic gap in each arch btw front and cheek teeth (where bit of horse bridle lies)
diastema
__= various types of teeth that specialize in diff aspects of prehension and mastication
heterodonty
__= develop a set of deciduous teeth (baby teeth) that fall out and replaced with permanent ones
-helps to estimate the age of a horse and decide what type of animal/diet etc
diphyodont
__= what elephants are poached for
dentine
__= tooth in carnivores that assist in tearing flesh; large with elaborate tubercles
carnassial teeth
__= teeth with a short crown separated from the root by a distinct neck
Ex: ruminant incisors
brachyodont
__= equine incisors and cheek teeth have a tall, straigh crown with no discernible neck
hypsodont
describe the dental formula for a dog
3 incisors top/bottom
1 canine top/bottom
4 premolars top/bottom
1 carnassial top/bottom
2 molars on top/3 on bottom
__= muscular tube extending from the pharynx to stomach
-lining of stratified squamous epithelium in the form of longitudinal folds which allow for large bolus/food to pass
-food passes due to the contraction of the esophageal muscles
-passes on the left side of the trachea ( seen easily in cattle); not dorsal once enters the thoracic cavity
esophagus
Folds in the stomach = ___
gastric glands lie within
-gastric pits
gastric rugae
what are the 2 types of stomachs in animals? examples..
non- ruminant/simple/monogastric stomach
Ex: horse, pig, dog, cat

ruminant- sheep, cattle, goats
__= sets of rounds muscles that control the entry/exit of food for the stomach

What are the 2 in a simple/non-ruminant stomach?
sphincter

cardiac sphincter- btw esophagus and cardiac region of the stomach

pyloric sphincter- btw the pyloric region of the stomach and the duodenum
what are the 4 parts of the ruminant stomach and a specific internal characteristics?
reticulum- honeycomb appearance

rumen- short/long papillae that give the appearance of a shag carpet rug

omasum- looks like the pages of a book/bookstomach lined with papillae for grinding; folds help with sorting

abomasum- many folds, glandular
non-ruminant stomach glands

__ glands secrete mucus

__ glands secrete mucus, HCl, and pepsinogen

___ glands secrete mucus and gastrin/gastric juice
cardiac

gastric

pyloric
rumination involves... ____, ___, ___, _____
regurgitation

reinsalivation

remastication

reingestion
__= cranial most part of the forestomach
-honeycomb
- fermentation occurs/ sorter
reticulum
__= short and long papillae
-divided from reticulum by a ruminoreticular fold
-almost entirely fills the left side of the abdominal cavity
-fermentation
rumen
___= pages of a book/bookstomach
-lined with papillae for grinding
-small particles pass to the abomasum, and larger particles go back to the reticulum
-site for water absorption and roughage compacted
omasum
__= true stomach
-many folds; glandular
-chemical digestion occurs here
-similar to the simple.trues stomach bc of gastric juices/regions
abomasum
What are the 2 forms of mvt and what does each do to the bolus?
peristalsis- pushes the food thru the stomach
-contributes to the rumbling of an empty stomach
-how the bolus moves forward

rhythmic segmentation- breaks up and mixes food boluses
-no net forward mvt


as food moves along, circular mvt acts on bolus and squeezes; gastric juices mix in
-breaks down so better absorption and is squeezed of water
__= site of enzymatic digestion and absorption
-long narrow tube, up to 3.5x the body length
-peristalsis and rhythmic segmentation moves food
-3 parts= duodenum, jejunum, ileum (flectures/curves determine where one starts and another ends)
sm intestines
__= consists of a cecum, colon, (ascending, transverse, descending), restum, anal canal
* more variation in species occurs in the _____ colon
large intestines

ascending colon
what are the 3 main salivary glands?
sublingual, mandibular, parotid

parotid- exclusively makes serous saliva

the others are mixed glands
why is the pancreas a mixed gland?
bc it has both endocrine and exocrine functions

endocrine- insulin and glucagon

exocrine- majority of pancreatic secretions/juices
-secreted into sm intestines by the duodenum
-brings lipases, carbs, nucelases, proteolytic enzymes

cross section appears to look like an orange
__= multiple lobes
-makes bile, emulsifies fat
-release promoted by the vagus nerve
-contains water, bile salts, bile pigments, electrolytes, cholesterol, lecithin
-cholesterol utilized to produce bile
-rhythmic release of bile into duodenum
-liver can regenerate, bile synthesis, exchange occurs, detox
-appears hexagonal
-each lobe has lobules that contain hepatocytes that surround sinusoids that feed into a central vein (portal system) --> portal vein receiving all blood enters liver and is modified by hematocytes
liver
__= hollow, pear shaped organ
-stores, modifies and concentrates bile
-all domestic animals have except the horse
- common bile duct/cystic duct- enters proximal duodenum
gall bladder
