ALIMENTARY SYSTEM



C1

  • The hopper-like container
  • no papillae and has glandular portions.
  • Dorsal regions are stratified squamous and non-keratinized
  • Ventral regions (glandular saccules) are lined by mucinous epithelial cells.
  • Seems to be involved in absorption of water and solutes (not bicarbonate formation).
  • Contents are homogenous and fibrous, with no gas cap as can be seen in ruminants.
  • Single walled oesophageal groove present.

C2

  • Mostly glandular epithelium,except around the oesophageal groove.
  • Contains numerous glandular divisions forming a retiform pattern.

C3

  • Entirely glandular.
  • The terminal 1/5th contains gastric glands - mucosa is reddish brown in this area (the rest is pink).
