Study Notes
Comparative Veterinary Anatomy - Digestive System
- The digestive system is responsible for food reception, digestion, nutrient absorption, and waste expulsion.
- Different animals exhibit varied feeding behaviors, reflected in modifications to their digestive tracts.
Comparative Veterinary Anatomy - Lips
- Dog: Pendulous upper lip pressing on the lower one, creating a large vestibule, aiding in administering liquid medication.
- Cat: Less mobile and reduced lips.
- Cattle: Less mobile lips, blend with nose to form moist, glandular nasolabial plate.
- Sheep: Soft and flexible, aid in picking up food; deeply grooved midline philtrum.
- Horse: Mobile upper lip used for food collection and introduction to the mouth; sensitive lips.
- Pig: Less mobile upper lip; blends with nose to form rostrum; os rostrale present within.
- Bird: Absent. Beaks used for grasping and are sensitive organs.
Comparative Veterinary Anatomy - Palate
- Dog: Widest at the 4th cheek tooth; median raphé replaced by a ridge.
- Ruminant: Cranial portion forms a prominent dental pad; rugae extending 2/3 of the length (the rugæ are serrated on their free borders).
- Sheep: Rugae are not serrated; openings of naso-palatine ducts form a prominent V on either sides of the central incisive papilla
- Horse: Divided into two equal portions by median raphe; palatine rugae extend the whole length.
- Pig: Long and narrow palate with equal width throughout; rugae and median raphe well marked; prominent incisive papilla anteriorly.
- Chicken: Lacks soft palate.
Comparative Veterinary Anatomy - Tongue
- Dog: Wide, thin, and mobile; dorsum marked by median groove; long backward-pointing papillae on the root; the inferior part of the tip has a cord of fibrous tissue- the lyssa.
- Cattle: The posterior half of the dorsum has a prominent bulge (torus linguae).
- Sheep: Similar to cattle but with more blunt tip; posterior prominence not very marked; less keratinized filiform papillae are found at the tip.
- Horse: Shaped like a spatula; two distinct vallate papillae on the posterior part of the dorsum, flanking the midline.
- Pig: Narrow and pointed, with a thin apex; long backward-pointing papillae on the root, mucous membrane is thick and highly cornified where conical papillae are found.
- Cat: Narrow and pointed with a thin apex.
- Chicken: Lacks musculature; has an entoglossal bone covered by thick cornified mucous membrane
Comparative Veterinary Anatomy - Teeth
- Dog, Ruminant, Horse, Pig, Cats: Each species have different tooth formulations depending on the type and number of incisors, canines, premolars and molars.
Comparative Veterinary Anatomy - Salivary Glands
- Major salivary glands include parotid, mandibular, and sublingual glands, located away from the oral cavity, draining through ducts.
- Minor (small) salivary glands are found within the oral mucosa.
- Different animal species have different locations of salivary glands.
Comparative Veterinary Anatomy - Pharynx
- Common passageway for air and food, divided into nasopharynx (respiratory), oropharynx (digestive), and laryngopharynx (both respiratory and digestive channels).
- Includes structures like pyriform recesses and pharyngeal diverticulum.
Comparative Veterinary Anatomy - Esophagus
- Dog, Ruminant, Horse, Pig, Cats, Bird: Structure and function of the esophagus is species-dependent.
Comparative Veterinary Anatomy - Stomach
- Dog, Cat, and Ruminants (Cow, Sheep etc.): Glandular structure present, as compared to Pig etc with more Non-glandular stomach.
- Ruminant stomach is a complex structure with four compartments: rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum,
- Ruminants have a reticular groove that serves as a shortcut for liquid substances to shorten the transit paths and aid digestion.
Comparative Veterinary Anatomy - Small Intestine
- Dog, Ruminants, Horse, Pig, Bird: Grossly similar; Variations in jejunum location based on the position of other abdominal organs and the presence of the mesenteries
- Presence of special structures like sigmoid loop, duodenal ampulla, flange, ileocecal opening and ileocolic opening
Comparative Veterinary Anatomy - Cecum
- Dog, Cat, Ruminant, Horse, Pig, Bird: Location, size, shape, presence of taenia and haustra are species specific.
Comparative Veterinary Anatomy - Colon
- Dog, Ruminants, Horse, Pig, Bird: Differences exist among each species' anatomy of the ascending, transverse and descending colons
Comparative Veterinary Anatomy - Rectum and Anal Canal
- Zones of the anal canal differ among animal species; Presence of anal glands and ampulla recti
Comparative Veterinary Anatomy - Bird's Cloaca
- Receives digestive, urinary, and reproductive products
- Divided into three segments:
- Coprodeum
- Urodeum
- Proctodeum
Comparative Veterinary Anatomy - Liver
- Dog, Ruminants, Horse, Pig, Bird: Species differences in lobation, presence/absence of gall bladder and structures like renal impression, ligaments.
Comparative Veterinary Anatomy - Bile Duct
- The bile, produced by hepatocytes, is discharged into bile capillaries, which unite to form interlobular and lobar ducts.
- Species differences exist in the structure of the extrahepatic bile ducts.
Comparative Veterinary Anatomy - Pancreas
- Dog, Cat, Cattle, Sheep, Goat, Horse, Pig, Birds: Species differences for the position, shape, and presence of accessory pancreatic ducts are seen.
- Pancreatic duct (duct of Wirsung) and accessory pancreatic duct (duct of Santorini).
