The digestive apparatus of the horse consists of the mouth 

 and its contents ; also of the pharynx and the oesophagus, the 

 stomach, the large and the small intestines, the glandular struc- 

 tures within the intestines, the liver, and the pancreas. 



Viewing the apparatus in its most simple form, it may be 

 regarded as a hollow continuous tube, possessed of two open- 

 ings (the mouth and the anus), one of which is situated at 

 each extremity. In large-sized horses this tube is 94 or 95 

 feet in length, and of varying capacity.
