Human Torso: The Heart
|
Separated between the systemic and circulatory system, the heart functions to pump oxygen poor blood out through the pulmonary arteries which allows the lungs (which are connected to the pulmonary veins) to pump oxygen rich blood back to the heart.
|
|
Human Torso: The lungs
|
The lungs function for breathing. There are two lungs and they are located in the upper chest cavity.
|
|
Human Torso: The Stomach
|
The stomach functions to store food and substances before it hits the small intestine for absorption. The stomach stores, mixes, transports, and breaks down chemicals.
|
|
Human Torso: The Pancreas
|
The Pancreas functions to produce enzymes and alkaline bicarbonate to offset the acidity of acid chyme. alkaline bicarbonate changes acid chyme into just chyme.
|
|
Human Torso: Gallbladder
|
The gallbladder functions to store bile. (can have gallstones, some may produce fever)
|
|
Human Torso: The Diaphragm
|
The Diaphragm functions in helping a mammal breathe. During inhalation the diaphragm contracts which increases the volume of the thoracic cavity. When a person exhales, the diaphragm relaxes which decreases the volume of the thoracic cavity.
|
|
Human Torso: The spleen
|
The spleen functions to recycle old red blood cells and stores platelets and white blood cells. It also helps fight against certain types of bacteria and meningitis.
|
|
Human Torso: The trachea
|
The Trachea functions as an airway to the lungs. It starts in the pharynx and goes down the center of the body to the lungs where it branches off into two bronchi- one for each lung.
|
|
Human Torso: The esophagus
|
The esophagus plays a major role in digestion. The esophagus, a large tube running from the pharynx to the stomach, aids in digestion by passing food and substances using peristalsis down to the stomach.
|
|
Human Torso: The large intestine
|
The large intestine (or colon) is connected to the small intestine at a t-shaped junction called the ileocecal junction. The purpose of the large intestine is to absorb water. (about 7L daily). As water is reabsorbed in the colon, feces becomes more in tact or compacted.
|
|
Human Torso: The small intestine
|
The small intestine functions in absorbing nutrients and the breakdown of macromolecules
|
|
Human Torso: Urinary bladder
|
The urinary bladder is used to store urine from the kidneys to make urination voluntary and infrequent.
|
|
Human Heart
|
Find: Superior and Inferior vena cava, right atrium, left atrium, right ventricle, left ventricle, pulmonary semi-lunar valve, aortic semi-lunar valve, pulmonary arteries, pulmonary veins, tricuspid valve, mitral valve, septum
|
|
Human Kidney
|
Find: Renal artery, renal vein, renal pelvis, renal medulla, renal cortex, nephrons, ureter, collecting duct, renal pyramid
|
|
Female Reproductive Model: Ovaries
|
Function: Egg production and storage; female glands
|
|
Female Reproductive Model: Oviduct
|
Function: Ducts leading out of the ovaries, egg travels through duct
|
|
Female Reproductive Model: Fimbriae
|
Function: sweeps the secondary oocyte into the fallopian tube or oviduct
|
|
Female Reproductive Model: Uterus
|
Function: site where egg implants for development. The lining is the endometrium (shed during menstrual cycle).
|
|
Female Reproductive Model: Endometrium
|
Function: Helps protect a baby in the womb, gives nutrients. When there is no egg fertilized, this is the menstrual cycle.
|
|
Female Reproductive Model: Cervix
|
Function: Opening of the uterus
|
|
Female Reproductive Model: Vagina
|
Function: Birth canal; copulatory organ (any organ involved in sexual reproduction).
|
|
Female Reproductive Model: Urinary bladder
|
Function: store urine for infrequent urination
|
|
Female Reproductive Model: Urethra
|
Function: carries urine from the urinary bladder to the outside of the body.
|
|
Female Reproductive Model: Rectum
|
Function: temporarily storing fecal matter until expelled through the anus
|
|
Female Reproductive Model: Anus
|
Function: Release of fecal matter
|
|
Male Reproductive Model: Testis
|
Function: (Male Gonads)- sperm production within seminiferous tubules.
|
|
Male Reproductive Model: Epididymis
|
Function: sperm maturation
|
|
Male Reproductive Model: Vas Deferens
|
Function: Duct through which sperm travels out of epididymis
|
|
Male Reproductive Model: Urinary bladder
|
Function: Store urine to decrease the frequency of urination
|
|
Male Reproductive Model: Urethra
|
Function: tube connecting and draining urinary AND reproductive systems. (NOT THE SAME IN WOMEN)
|
|
Male Reproductive Model: Prostate Gland
|
Function: Nourishes sperm, (makes up 25% of secretion)
|
|
Male Reproductive Model: Seminal vesicles
|
Function: secretions make sperm MOTILE, repress female immunity. (makes up 60% of secretion)
|
|
Male Reproductive Model : Bulbourethral gland
|
Function: Neutralize pH of urethra. (15% of secretion). makes a safe passageway for sperm.
|
|
Male Reproductive Model: Penis
|
Function: Organ of Copulation. (scrotum is for temp regulation).
