Sagittal section
Divides the body into right and left halves. Made parallel to the long body axis.
Frontal section
Divides the body into ventral and dorsal regions. Made along a longitudinal plane.
Transverse (cross) section
Divides the body into head/tail. Made perpendicular to frontal plane.
What is the Coelom?
Body cavity formed between layers of mesoderm.
Where the digestive tract and other internal organs are suspended.
Where is the thoracic (chest) cavity? (caudal or cranial)
Cranial
Where is the abdominal cavity?
Caudal.
What two cavities does the toracic cavity contain?
Pleural and Pericardial Cavities.
What organ does the pleural cavity house?
Lungs
What organ does the pericardial cavity house?
The heart.
The arteries have been injected with _____ latex and the veins have been injected with ____ latex.
Red/blue
Arteries and veins run ________ to each other
parallel
Which are bigger? arteries or veins? Which one has to work harder to carry blood?
veins!
internal jugular
drains blood from the brain
sublcavian arteries
carry blood to the forelimbs
hepatic veins
drains the liver
sacral vein
drains the tail
hepatic portal vein
drains the small intestine
iliac artery
supplies blood to the hindlimbs
coelic artery
supplies stomach, spleen, liver
renal arteries
supply the kidneys
epiglottis
covers the opening of the trachea when food or liquid passes over it (in mouth)
intercostal muscles
they contract and relax, resulting in enlargement and compression of thoraciccavity
papillae contains what?
taste buds
Because the rat has no gall bladder, where does bile collect? and where does it go to?
bile collects in the ducts and passes straight to the duodenum.
pyloric sphincter
controls the passage of partially digested food into the duodenum of the small intestine
axial skeleton
composed of the skull, the vertebral column, and the rib cage
appendicular skeleton
composed of the pectoral girdle, the forelimbs, the pelvic girdle, and hind limbs
cellular respiration
glucose -> energy
What species of Crayfish did we study the phsyiology of?
Procambarus simulans
Where do crayfish take in water, and where is it pumped out?
in through openings in the carapace
out using the second maxillae at the anterior end
the amount of oxygen taken in by a crawfish is proportional to ______
the volume of water pumped.
How does nitrogen gas work in the crayfish physiology experiment?
nitrogen displaces the oxygen and decreases the oxygen concentration.
what is partial pressure?
the pressure of a particular gas in a mixture of gases
What is systolic pressure? what is the relation to pressure?
ventricular contraction; pressure is the highest (120mm Hg); sharp tapping sounds
what is diastolic pressure? what is the relation to pressure?
ventricular relaxation; pressure is the lowest (80 mm Hg)
What is the stehtoscope placed over?
the brachial artery
What is the result of emphysema?
A decrease of surface area as walls between alveoli are broken down
During exercise, the partial pressure of ____ decreases and the partial pressure of _____ increases.
oxygen/carbon dioxide
Deoxygenated blood is found in which ventricle?
right
oxygenated blood returns to which ventricle?
left
what is tachycardia?
heartbeat is too fast
what is bradycardia?
heartbeat that is too slow
what is apnea?
voluntary cessation of breathing
What is hypoxia?
low concentration of dissolved oxygen
