11.1 GA system

true stomach of ruminant digestive system

passage from mouth to anus

tooth socket in the maxilla and mandible (also refers to air socket of lung)

sac-shaped dilation of canal or tube

distal opening of alimentary tract

any appendage, especially vermiform appendix attached to cecum

secretion of the liver that aids in digestion

pertaining to bile

short-crowned tooth with enamel covering the crown

surface of tooth next to cheek

blind pouch portion of large intestine for fermentation of food

pertaining to abdomen

bonelike connective tissue that covers the roots of brachydont teeth

gallbladder

common bile duct

milky fluid conveyed by lymphatic vessels from intestine after digestion into circulation

semifluid contents of stomach after digestion

part of large intestine extending from cecum to rectum

duct formed by junction of cystic and hepatic ducts

oral ingestion of fecal material

bolus containing fiber, other food particles, rumen liquid, and flora; regurgitated by ruminants

shed at a specific stage of development

connective tissue surrounding tooth pulp that is covered by enamel on exposed tooth and by cementum on part implanted in jaw

interdental space between incisors, canines and cheek teeth

glands in submucous layer of duodenum

first portion of small intestine, exending from pylorus of stomach to jejunum

hard, white substance (hardest in the body) covering dentin of crown part of tooth

musculomembranous canal that extends from pharynx to stomach

threadlike

bend, fold, or curved part of structure

mushroom-shaped

organ located on undersurface of liver; stores bile

glands of stomach that secrete digestive chemicals

gums of mouth

long-crowned tooth found in herbivores that has enamel extending below the gumline and invaginated into longitudinal grooves of the tooth; a distinct neck is lacking

mucous membrane folds between ileum and cecum; prevent reflux from colon into ileum (also called ileocolic valve)

distal portion of small intestine, extending from jejunum to cecum

any one of front teeth of either jaw

irregular, microscopic formations of cells in pancreas; secrete insulin and glucagon

portion of small intestine that extends from duodenum to ileum

lips

tongue

large, dome-shaped organ in upper part of abdomen under diaphragm

peritoneal fold that attaches intestine to dorsal abdominal wall

third and smallest compartment of rumen

fold of peritoneum overlying stomach and other visceral organs

section of pharynx that lies between soft palate and epiglottis

roof of mouth separating oral cavity from nasal cavity

long, irregularly shaped gland located in the mesentary of the duodenum; secretes pancreatic juice into the duodenum (exocrine function) and hormones into the blood (endocrine function)

large salivary gland located near ear

glands of mucous membrane of simple stomach that secrete acid and pepsin

wave-like movement by which alimentary tract propels its contents

serous membrane lining abdominal cavity, with part covering viscera and holding them in place

musculomembranous opening into nasal cavities, mouth larynx, and esophagus

distal opening of stomach through which stomach contents enter duodenum

backward flow as in casting up of food

smallest, most cranial portion of ruminant stomach; also called honeycomb

wrinkles or folds appearing on surface of mucous membrane of simple stomach when muscular coat contracts

largest of compartments of forestomach of ruminants; serves as fermenting vat

includes regurgitation, remastication, ensalivation and reswallowing of partially digested food

clear secretion of salivary glands containing digestive enzymes

oral cavity glands that secrete saliva

hormone produced by glands of duodenum that stimulates secretion of pancreatic juice

ringlike muscle that closes natural opening

musculmembraneous digestive pouch at distal end of esophagus

smallest of salivary glands; located beneath tongue on either side

salivary glands below angle of lower jaw on either side

freely moving muscular organ of taste, located in floor of mouth; aids in prehension, mastication, grooming, swallowing, sound articulation, and other functions, depending on species.

rim-shaped

threadlike projections covering mucosa of small intestine; aid in absorption of digested matter
