|
|
Auricle
|
Location:
System: circulatory Function: external covering of the atrium |
|
|
Larynx
|
Location:
System: respiratory Function: structure in throat that contains vocal chords + prevents food from entering lungs during swallowing |
|
|
Ventricle Right
|
Location:
System: circulatory Function: thick walled lower chamber of heart that pumps deoxygenated blood through the pulmonary valve to the pulmonary artery |
|
|
Ventricle Left
|
Location:
System: circulatory Function: thick walled lower chamber of the ht that pumps oxygenated blood through the aortic calve to the aorta |
|
|
Diaphragm
|
Location:
System: respiratory Function: contracts during breathing, pulling bottom of the chest cavity down to expand volume of chest cavity |
|
|
Thyroid Gland
|
Location:
System: endocrine Function: -secretes hormone thyroxine, which regulates metabolism -secretes calcitonin, which regulates the level of calcium in blood |
|
|
Trachea
|
Location:
System: respiratory Function: windpipe/tube through which air moves in or out of the lungs |
|
|
Pericardium
|
Location:
System: circulatory Function: a sac that surrounds the heart to protect it and hold it in place |
|
|
Heart
|
Location:
System: circulatory Function: pumps blood throughout the body |

|
Location:
System: circulatory Function: receives deoxygenated blood from vena cavas & passes it on through tricuspid valve to the right ventricle |
|
|
Atrium Left
|
Location:
System: circulatory Function: receives oxygenated blood from pulmonary vein & passes it on through bicuspid valve to left ventricle |
|
|
Thymus Glands
|
Location: in mediastinum, behind sternum, between lungs
System: lymphatic Function: -produces & stores T-cells -produces thymic hormone that stimulates lymphocyte production |
|
|
Pancreatic Duct
|
Location:
System: Function: + attaches to the pancreas and sphincter of oddi, moves pancreatic juices |
|
|
Sphincter of Oddi
|
Location:
System: digestive Function: allows bile from common bile duct to enter small intestine |
|
|
Hepatic Duct
|
Location:
System: digestive Function: allows bile to pass transfer liver to common bile duct |
|
|
Cystic Duct
|
Location:
System: digestive Function: allows bile to transfer from gall bladder to common bile duct |
|
|
Common Bile Duct
|
Location:
System: digestive Function: combines the hepatic duct and the cystic duct to transport bile to the sphincter of oddi |
