. Common diseases of farm animals. Veterinary medicine. General Discussion.—The intestinal tract of solipeds is the best developed of any of the domestic animals (Fig. 14). It is divided into two jDortions, small and large. The small in- testine is a little over seventy feet in length and about one and one-half inches in diameter. The mucous membrane lining- presents a large absorbing sur- face and is well supplied with absorbing vessels that take up the sugars, proteids and fats, which are finally distributed to the body cells by the blood capil- laries. In addition to these absorbing vessels

In addition to these absorbing vessels the mucous membrane contains intestinal glands that secrete the intesti- nal juice. Other digestive se- cretions from the pancreatic gland and the liver are poured into the small intestine near its origin. These digestive juices act on the proteids, sugars, starches and fats^ them into substances that capable of being absorbed. After disengaging itself from the mass of loops lodged in the region of the left flank, the small intestine crosses to the region of the riffht flank, where it terminates in the first division of the large intestine. The large intestine is formed by the following divisions: changing are.
