What is the general structure of teeth? Will be embedded in the upper maxilla bone or lower mandibular bone.
What is the crown of the tooth? The visible part of the tooth that extends above the gingiva & is covered by enamel.
What is the root of the tooth? The portion of the tooth that is not visible beneath the gingiva.
What is the apex of the tooth? The area found at the very bottom of the root
What is the neck of the tooth? The junction between the crown & the root?
What is the surface of the tooth that faces inward?? Lingual & Palatal
What is the surface of the tooth that faces outward? Labial & buccal
What is the edge of the tooth that faces inward? Mesial
What is the edge of the tooth that faces outward? Distal
What is the biting surface of the tooth? The Occlusal surface
WHat is dentin? The hard as bone substance that will contain blood vessels and nerves & will surround the pulp cavity
What is the muscular surface found on the ventral surface of the oral cavity? The tongue
What are the functions of the papillae located on the dorsal surface of the tongue?? Mechanical - grooming Specialized - sensations.
Wat is the temporomandibular joint? The connection between the condyle process of the mandible & the fossa of the temporal bone
What are the movements of the TMJ? Flexion, Extension, & Translation
What is the movement of translation? The ability to move laterally & rostrally.
What are the different forms of saliva? Watery, viscous, or mixed
What are the 3 main paired glands that will secrete saliva? The parotid gland, mandibular gland & sublingual gland
What are the main functions of saliva? Moisten & lubricate food, antibacterial action, pH regulation, thermoregulation, enzymatic digestion.
What are the structures located within the pharynx? The eustachian tube & tonsils
What is peristalsis? The pattern of muscle contractions that will propel food through the GI tract
What are the 4 serous membranes found within the abdominal cavity? Visceral peritoneum, parietal peritoneum, mesentery, & omentum
What will be what suspends the intestines from the abdominal wall? Mesentery
What is the double-layer, connecting peritoneum that helps to link the stomach to the abdominal wall? The omentum
What is the funciton of the omentum? Fat storage and insulation for the abdomen
What is the makeup of makeup of the mesentery? Vascular & innervated
What are the 4 functions of the stomch? 1. storage of ingested substances 2. chemical & mechanical breakdown of ingested materials 3. WILL NOT ABSORB NUTRIENTS 4. will produce intrinsic factors
What is the term for the solid form that food will be in when entering the stomach? Bolus
What is the term for the state in which food will exit the stomach? Chyme
How many chambers will be present within a ruminant stomach 4
Where will the monogastric stomach be located? behind the diaphragm
What are the 4 glandular portions of the monogastric stomach? Cardia, fundus, body, pylorus
What condition forms when an animals cardiac sphincter closed too tightly & gas cannot be released? Bloat
What portion of the stomach is capable of great expandability? fundus
What is the largest portion of the stomach? The body
What is the primary function of the body of the stomach? to mix ingested food with digestive fluids
What is the most distal portion of the stomach? The pylorus
What will control the rate in which chyme is pumped from the pylorus to the duodenum? The pyloric sphincter
What are rugae? folds within the gastric mucosa that allow the stomach to expand when filled with food.
What is a composite organ? An organ formed of multiple parts.
What type of animals will be ruminants? Some species of herbivores
How will a ruminants diet differ from a carnivores? It will require more food intake than a carnivore because their diet will be less dense.
What are the 4 chambers of the ruminant stomach? Reticulum, rumen, omasum, abomasum
Characteristics of the forestomach? Will be non-glandular. will not produce digestive enzymes, instead there will be a mutualistic relationship with microorganisms living in the forestomach.
Which chamber of the forestomach will have a honeycomb resembling structure. the reticulum
Which is the largest expandable portion of the forestomach? the rumen
What chamber of the forestomach is referred to as the "book stomach? the omasum
What chamber of the ruminant stomach is referred to as the "true stomach"? the abomasum
Why is the abomasum referred to as the "true stomach"? It functions identically to the monogastric stomach.
What is the esophageal groove? a structure in young ruminants that with bypass the reticulorumen in order for the nursing milk to pass directly into the omasum & abomasum
Why is the esophageal groove important? The reaction between the milk & the microorganisms can cause lactic acid buildup which can be damaging to the microorganisms
What does rumination mean? chewing the cud
What is the main contraction of the reticulorumen? mixing functions
On what basis will the reticulorumen separate particles? Based upon their size
What will happen during rumination? Ingesta from the reticulorumen will move back into the oral cavity for additional salivation & continued chewing
What are the 4 steps of rumination? regurgitation, re-insalivation, re-mastication, re-swallowing
What is eructation? the secondary contraction that is responsible for the release of gasses that is produced by the reticulorumen during fermentation
What gasses are released during the fermentation process in ruminants? methane & carbon dioxide
Where do monogastric & ruminant stomachs come back together in structure? The small intestine
What is the small intestine? the small tube that carries the chyme away from the stomach & deposits it into the large intestine
What is responsible for suspending the small intestine from the abdominal wall? the mesentery
What are the 3 parts of the small intestine? duodenum, jejunum, & ileum
What are the main functions of the small intestine?? Chemical digestion & absorption
What is the portion of the small intestine that will receive chyme via the pyloric sphincter? the duodenum
What is the portion of the small intestine that the Preyer's patch can be found in? The Ileum
Wat is the longest portion of the small intestine? the jejunum
Where will the ileum empty to in ruminants? The cecum or the colon
Where will the ileum empty into in non-ruminant herbivores? the cecum
Where will the ileum empty into in dogs & cats? the colon
What are plications? Folds present in the mucosal lining of the small intestine that will increase the surface area.
What will be the function of villi & microvilli within the small intestine? will form a brush border.
What are intestinal crypts? the site where intestinal cells undergo mitosis to replace the tips of the villi & microvilli that are lost during their functions.
What are lacteals? lymphatic capillaries that transport absorbed lipids & fat-soluble substance to the thoracic duct & into the vena cava.
What are the functions of the blood capillaries within the small intestine? Will help to collect some of the absorbed nutrients & transport them to the liver
