Fascia
|
A layer of fibrous tissue that surrounds muscles, group of muscles...
|
|
|
Salivary Glands
|
Produces saliva through the ducts of the mouth. Coats the food, initiating the breakdown of starch by amylase and making food slimy.
|
|
|
Palate
|
Roof the the mouth. Separates the oral cavity and the nasal cavity
|
|
|
Nasopharynx

Where the air passage joins the throat
|
|
|
Glottis
|
Opening through which the air must pass to enter the tube to the lungs (trachea)
|
|
|
Epiglottis
|
Glottis is covered by a group of tissues when swallowing. Prevents choking on food.

Diaphragm
|
A muscular sheet that separates the upper thoracic cavity from the lower abdominal cavity.

|
|
|
Liver
|
Stores glycogen (animal starch). It takes up sugar, amino acids, and other chemicals. It is an organ of temporary energy storage regulation of blood sugar. It also removes excess amino acids and converts them to urea, which is removed through the kidneys.
|
|
|
Alveoli
|
Divided air cavities that are found only in adult pigs
|
|
|
Respiratory System
|
Lungs, trachea and nasal passage.
|
|
|
Thymus Glands
|
Whitish glands which help fights infections.
|
|
|
Thyroid Glands
|
Regulates metabolism, growth and development.
|
|
|
Spleen
|
Stores blood cells - part of the immune system
|
|
|
Chyme
|
HCl lowers the pH of chyme to about pH 2 to help start the breakdown of proteins. Part of the stomach
|
|
|
Pyloric Schincter
|
Regulates passage into the small intestine.
|
|
|
Pancreas
|
Strongly alkaline. Raises the pH of digestive chyme that was lowered in the stomach (pH 2).
|
|
|
Gall Bladder
|
Stores bile, which is composed of dead blood cells and bile salts.
|
|
|
Spleen
|
Stores blood cells - part of the immune system

|
Caecum
|
Rumination of food that animal does not have enzymes to break down.
|
|
|
Chyme
|

|
Tissues
|
A group of cells with a common structure and function - held together by extracellular material so that the tissue forms a physical component of an organ
|
|
|
4 Main Groups of Tissues
|

Pancreas
|
Strongly alkaline. Raises the pH of digestive chyme that was lowered in the stomach (pH 2).
|
|
|
Gall Bladder
|
Stores bile, which is composed of dead blood cells and bile salts.
|
|
|
Epithelial Cells
|
Forms a sheet of tissue that cover the outside f the body and that within the body line organs, cavities and vasculature. They tend to free passage of materials from one side of the epithelium to the other. Keeps pathogens out and bodily fluids in. The epithelium of our small intestine moves food in one direction while keeping unwanted material and microorganisms out.
