Colon in the Horse
- Caecum (4)|- Right Ventral (4)|- Sternal Flexure (4)|- Left Ventral (4)|- Pelvic Flexure (1)|- Left Dorsal (1)|- Diaphragmatic Flexure (3)|- Right Dorsal (3)|- Transverse Colon (2)|- Descending Colon (2)|- Rectum and Anus
Abdominal Blood Supply
3 Unpaired arteries from aorta in abdomen:||1. Coeliac|- Spleic, left gastric, hepatic||2. Cranial Mesenteric |- Through root of mesentery|- Intestine from dist. duodenum to transv. colon||3. Caudal mesenteric |- Desc. colon and prox. rectum
Venous Drainage
Venous blood in intestinal capillaries |- Joins larger veins|- To Hepatic Portal V
Hepatic Portal V. Branches
- Gastroduodenal|- Splenic|- Cran. Mesenteric|- Caud. Mesenteric|- From liver --> Hepatic v. --. caudal vena cava
Intestine Histology: Dog Duodenum
- Large Villi|- Epithelium: simple columnar|- Lamina propria has Crypts of Lieberkuhn/Intestinal glands|- Submucosa has burners glands/duodenal glands (paler staining)
Intestine Histology: Dog Jejunum
- Similar to duodenum|- Less or no Brunner's Glands
Intestine Histology: Dog Ileum
- Similar to duodenum/jejunum|- More lymphatic tissue
Intestine Histology: Caecum
- No villi - smoother near lumen|- Lots of goblet cells |- More lymphatic tissue
Nerve Plexuses
Nerve plexuses, which control the contraction of smooth muscle, are found in:|- Submucosa (= Meissner's Plexus)|- Between circular and longitudinal muscles in the muscularis externa (= Auerbach's plexus)
Large Intestine
- No villi|- Crypts present|- Flatter surface|- Lots of goblet cells |- Muscularis mucosae: |--- Thinnest in caecum|--- Thickets in rectum|- Submucosa:|--- Blood vessels|--- Meissner's plexus|--- Lymph nodules
Large Intestine: Tunica Muscularis
Inner circular muscle|- Forms internal sphincter of anus||Outer longitudinal muscle|- Forms taenia in pig and horse|- Ends at anorectal line
Shape of Liver
Diaphragmatic (parietal) surface is:|- Convex and faces cranially, against diaphragm||Visceral surface is: |- Concave, faces caudally, near right kidney, stomach and intestine
Liver Attachments: Visceral
- Hepatogastric ligament to the stomach|- Hepatoduodenal ligament to the proximal duodenum|- Together form the lesser omentum
Liver Attachments: Parietal
- Triangular ligament R and L|- Coronary Ligament|- Falciform Ligament
Minor Liver Attachments
- Hepato-renal Ligament = Caudate Ligament|- Omentum|- Round Ligament
Liver Blood Vessels
Hepatic Artery|- Enters at porta||Hepatic Poratl Vein|- Enters at porta
Sinusoids
- From portal triad to central vein
Gall Bladder
- Stores and concentrates bile|- Not present in horses
Pancreas
- Compound acinus gland (mostly exocrine) secrete digestive enzymes|- Islet of langerhans: small masses of endocrine cells, secrete insulin and glucagon (paler then surrounding tissue)
Pancreatic Ducts
1. Intercalated duct draining into an intralobular duct (cuboidal epithelium)|2. Small interlobular ducts (columnar epithelium)|3. Large interlobular duct
The lesser omentum extends to...
Extends to the liver (hepatogastric ligament)
Where can you find the omental bursa?
Omental bursa lies between the superficial and deep layers of the greater omentum
What is the torus pyloricus?
- A protrusion serving to narrow the pyloric aperture|- Fatty|- On lesser curvature
What do parietal cells produce?
Acid
What do peptic cells produce?
- Enzymes
Vela Abomasica
Leading to abomasum, contain lymph nodes
