o   Epiploic foramen of peritoneum is also known as foramina of Winslow.

o   The average capacity of the stomach in adult animals ranges from 100-230 lts. Depending upon the size of animal. Rumen occupies 80%, reticulum 5% and omasum and abomasum occupy 7-8% each.

o   The glandular and non-glandular part of stomach of horse are separated by a rough line, termed margoplicatus.

o   In horse at the left extremity of the stomach, there is a rounded cul-de-sac known as saccus cecus.

o   The terminal part of caecum in rabbit is slender and devoid of sacculation and known as vermiform appendix.

o   In fowl, at about middle portion of the jejunum a short closed remnant of yolk sac is present and is known as Meckel’s diverticulum.

o   Zygomatic salivary gland is an extra (4th pair) gland found in dog, situated at the anterior part of the ptergopalatine fossa.

o   Nutritional and functional blood supply of liver is through Hepatic artery and portal vein respectively.

o   In horse gall bladder is absent.

o   Main function of spleen are phagocytosis, haemopoises, immune response and storage of RBC.

o   Cartilages of larynx are thyroid, cricoid, arytenoid and epiglottis.

o   Nutritional and functional blood supply of lung is through bronchial artery and pulmonary artery respectively.

o   In fowl, eleven airs sacs present in lung. These are cervical (paired), clavicular (unpaired), axillary (paired), cranial thoracic (paired), Caudal thoracic (paired) and abdominal (paired).

o   In fowl at the bifurcation of the trachea, two primary bronchi are dilated to form a cartilaginous compartment and is known as syrinx.

o   In horse, central portion of internal part of medulla forma a concave ridge which projects into the pelvis and is known as renal crest. Perforated area (orifices of renal tubule) at the crust is known as area eribrosa.

o   Lateral ligaments of bladder are in the form of membrane and each contains in their free margin, a rounded cord like structure known as round ligament.

o   Round ligaments of bladder are remnants of umbilical arteries.

o   Ligament of bladder are ventral ligament, lateral ligament and round ligament.

o   Vein from the head of epididymis and from the upper end of testes unite to form a convoluted plexus of veins around the spermatic artery and is known as paminiform plexus.

o   Muscles of penis are ischio cavernosus, Bulbo spongiosus and Retractor penis.

o   In horse, at the base of the glans, there is border, known as corona glandis.

o   In pig, an ovoid blind pouch is present just above the orifice of the prepuce, is known as preputial diverticulum.

o   In mare there is a depression on the free border of the ovary, known as ovulation fossa.

o   Ovary of bitch is enclosed in a peritoneal pouch, known as ovarian bursa.

o   Oviduct of hen comprises of infundibulum, magnum, or albumin secreting portion, isthmus or shell membrane secreting portion, uterus or shell gland region and vagina.

o   Canals of Gartner are remnants of wolffian or mesonephric ducts.

o   Fosaa ovalis of heart is site of foramen oval of foetal life.

o   Left auriculo ventricular opening is guarded by bicuspid valve which is also known as mitral valve.

o   Just at the beginning of aorta, the wall of aorta is dilated and known as aortic sinus or bulbus aorticus.

o   Vasa vasorum are the vessels for thick blood vessels.

o   The Rete mirabile cerebrale is formed from rete branches of maxillary artery, meningeal branch of occipital artery and cranial branches of vertebral arteries.

o   Post ganglionic endings of parasympathetic system liberate acetylcholine.

o   Except in sweat gland and in most of the blood vessels of skeletal muscles the post ganglionic endings of sympathetic system liberate nor-adrenaline.

o   Ligmentum arteriosum is remnant of ductus arteriosus of foetal life.

Position of Heart:

Base of heart extend from third to sixth rib and is placed about 10-12 cm below the spine. The apex of heart is placed opposite to the sixth chondro-sternal joint. Fifth/seventh portion of heart lies on the left side of the median plane because right lung is larger than left one.
