Study Notes
Salivary Glands
- Main salivary glands in cats: parotid, submandibular, sublingual, and molar glands.
- Sublingual gland is positioned deep to the submandibular duct.
Larynx and Swallowing
- The epiglottis serves to close the entrance to the larynx during swallowing.
- The mylohyoid muscle aids in swallowing by elevating the floor of the mouth.
Abdominopelvic Cavity
- The peritoneal membrane covers both the walls of the abdominopelvic cavity and the organs within it.
- Key organ: the liver, recognized as the largest organ in the abdominal cavity.
- The stomach, located on the left side and partially obscured by the liver, is a large muscular pouch.
Digestive Organs
- Accessory digestive organs: liver, gallbladder, pancreas, and their associated ducts.
- The small intestine comprises three parts: duodenum, jejunum, and ileum.
- The common bile duct unites with the pancreatic duct, emptying into the duodenum.
Mesenteries
- The parietal peritoneum lines the abdominal wall, while the visceral peritoneum covers organs.
- The greater omentum, a dorsal mesentery, connects to the greater curvature of the stomach.
- The falciform ligament carries the remnant of the umbilical vein to the liver.
Nervous Innervation
- Dorsal and ventral facial nerves innervate facial muscles and run across the masseter muscle.
- The hypoglossal nerve, located medial to the digastric muscle, controls tongue muscles.
Esophagus and Trachea
- The esophagus can be distinguished from the trachea due to the lack of cartilage in its structure.
Organ Classification
- Retroperitoneal organs are not suspended by a mesentery.
- Nutrient absorption primarily occurs in the small intestine, not the large intestine.
Tooth Structure
- Components of a tooth include crown, neck, root, enamel, dentin, pulp cavity, cementum, periodontal ligament, and root canal.
