  • Back
Function of the respiratory cavity
Brings fresh oxygen into the blood stream and carries an excess of CO2
Glottis
With the epiglottis, opens to permit air flow through the larynx into the trachea
Epiglottis
Prevents the food from going into the trachea, it covers the glottis when food is swallowed
Larynx
The voice box, oval shaped thing at the larynx into the trachea
Trachea
Long tube that lead into the lungs
Esophagus
Muscular passage way that connects the mouth and oral cavity to stomach (lies beneath trachea)
Lungs
receives O2 good air and expels O2 depleted air.
Bronchi
embedded in the lungs, trachea split into 2 bronchi that leads to the lungs
Bronchioles
tiny, embedded in lungs, bronchi further split into bronchioles which terminate in open sacs called alveoli
Alveoli
timy air sacs within the lungs, microscopic
Diaphragm
under the lungs it is a twin muscular sheet of tissue and allows the thoracic cavity to expand and compress drawing in fresh air when expanding and expelling stale air with each compression.
Function of the excretory system
eliminates the metabolic wastes that the body produces from cell respiration.
Kidneys
bean shaped organs on either side of spine, it filters blood from the circulatory system removing metabolic waste products.
Ureters
connects kidney to bladder
Urinary Bladder
stores urine
Urethra
look for this when you do the reproductive system, store urine is eliminated through this and out the urogenital.
Nephron
filters wastes (nitrogenous) from the blood while conserving valuable sugar ions and water
Renal Arteries
carry blood into kidneys
Renal Veins
carry blood out of kidneys
Function of the reproductive system
respiration for gametes that will eventually fuse with the corresponding gamete of the opposite sex.
Ovaries
paired female gonads located caudal to the kidneys – small and round
Ovulation
the time the egg is capable of being fertilized.
Uterus
uterine body and uterine horns –where implantation of the embryos occur and extends into the cervix (junction between uterus and vagina
Vagina
from the cervix – it is joined by the urethra and the two open into a common chamber called the urogenital sinus and opens to the outside of the body through the urogenital opening
Urogenital sinus / genital papilla
handles products of both the urinary and reproductive systems / covers urogenital opening
Scrotum
where the scrotal sacs are
Testes
found between the base of the kidneys and the scrotal sacs where sperm is produced
Sperm
thick and contains mucus and fructose stored in epididymis and produces in the seminiferous tubules.
Epididymis
highly coiled system of tubes cupped around each side of the testes
Vas (ductus) deferens
travels through this to the urethra
Urethra
semen passes through this
Penis
where semen is ejaculated
Seminal Vesicles
junction between ductus deferens and urethra
Prostate gland
lies beneath pubic bone and usually destroyed by dissection. produces part of the fluid component of semen.
Bulbourethral glands
lie on each side of urethra these glands contribute fluid to the sperm
Cardiovascular System Function
transporting nutrients, gases, hormones, and metbolic wastes
Pericardial Membrane
Thin tissue surrounding and protecting the heart
Pulmonary circuit
blood path to and from the lungs - deoxygenated blood
Systemic circuit
transport of blood to and from all the tissues of the body.- oxygenated blood
Right and left atrium
chamber of heart that recieves blood
right and left ventricle
chamber of heart that pumps blood
coronary vessels
supply blood to the heart muscle
cranial vena cava
vein returning deoxygenated blood from the upper part of the body to the right atrium of the heart
caudal vena cava
vein returning deoxygenated blood from the lower part of the body to the right atrium of the heart
pulmonary artery
carries deoygenated blood from right ventricle of the heart to the lungs
Pulmonary veins
carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart
antrioventricular valves
prevent backflow from the ventricles into the atria during systole
aortic semilunar valve
allows blood to exit the left ventricle arises above the pressure in the aorta
dorsol aorta
give branches to the yolk sac
brachiocephalic vein
contains the confluence of 4 veins: internal and external jugular, cephalic and subclavian veins
subclavin vein
dumbs blood directly into the cranial vena cava
cephalic vein
returns blood from each forelimb
external jugular vein
leads into the vena cava from neck region
internal jugular vein
runs medially along the trachea from the head toward the heart
common carotid artery
supplies the head and neck with oxygenated blood
respiratory system function
supplying oxygen to the bloodstream and carrying off excess carbon dioxide
nasal cavities
behind the nose, conditions air to be recieved by areas of respiratory tract and nose
glottis
opening in oral cavity that leads from the nasopharynx to the larynx and trachea
larynx
allows mammels to have vocalizations
trachea
long tube that prevents collapse as animal inhales
lungs
transports oxygen into the bloodstream and releases carbon dioxide from the bloodstream into teh atmosphere
bronchi
divided into bronchioles
umbilical arteries
carry blood from the fetus to the placenta
umbilical vein
carries oxygen and nutrient rich blood to the fetus from the fetal side of teh placenta
ductus venosus
shuts most of teh blood flow off the umbilical vein directly to the inferior vena cava
ductus arteriosus
connection joining the pulmonary trunk with the aorta and allows part of teh blood from the pulmonary trunk to enter teh aorta instead of flowing to the lungs
foramen ovale
aids in reroutingblood to bypass the lungs
absorption
the process by which nutrients are taken into cells
digestion
the process by which food is physically and chemically broken down into molecules that can be adsorbed by cells
egestion
the process of expelling undigested food particles through the anus
digestive tract
composed of bile mucus and amniotic fluid
mouth
food and air pass through
pharynx
air enters into this when breathed in through he nasal passages, space in the back of mouth
liver
the largest organ in abdominal region, produces bile which is stored in gall bladder
gall bladder
on underside of right lobe of the liver
spleen
cleans blood on right side of the stomach
pancreas
supports the stomach that produces digestive enzymes and hormones
stomach
produces HCL and pepsinogen that aid in the chemical breakdown of food
small intestine (duodenum, jejunum, ileum)
digestion and absorbtion take place here and is located near the anus
large intestine
aka the colon, just below the stomach
cranial, superior, anterior
the front, forward, or head of an animal
