Abstract

By outlining its ontogenetic development, the topographical anatomy of the equine digestive tract is presented in concise form. Those aspects of particular significance from the functional and clinical point of view are stressed. The anatomy of that part of the autonomic system supplying the digestive tract is sketched in brief with some remarks pertaining to function.
