Pharynx
|
an AREA in the throat that has the esophagus and trachea. (joining of digestive and respiratory system)
|
|
|
Hard Palate
|
To allow hard foods to be chewed without them puncturing the mouth. part of the digestive system
|
|
|
Soft Palate
|
A guidance for food to go down esophagus. behind the hard palate. part of the digestive system
|
|
|
Epiglottis
|
The flap that leads to the glottis, which then leads to the trachea. part of the respiratory system
|
|
|
Trachea
|
The windpipe or breathing mechanism. leads to both lungs and branches to them
|
|
|
Esophagus
|
A tube that takes the food to the stomach. a true organ of digestion. sits behind that larynx. (digestive system).
|
|
|
Larynx
|
The voice box of the pig. sits on top of the trachea
|
|
|
Thyroid gland
|
secretes hormones that travel in the blood and act upon other body cells. These hormones regulate the rate at which metabolism occurs in cells. (sits below the trachea) part of the endocrine system
|
|
|
Thymus gland
|
Where t-lymphocytes mature. helps in immunity. part of the endocrine system.
|
|
|
Glottis
|
Leads to the trachea. part of respiratory system
|
|
|
Ovaries
|
produces eggs and sex horomones. part of the reproductive system
|
|
|
Uterine horn
|
where a pig fetus develops. a pig fetus does not develop in the uterus like humans, instead it develops in the uterine horn which allows more than one fetus to develop (more room for multiple births). part of the reproductive system
|
|
|
Uterus
|
does not hold the embryo, instead the uterine horns allows the development. part of the reproductive system
|
|
|
Testes
|
Production of sperm. part of the reproductive system
|
|
|
Epidiymis
|
Storage of sperm before it reaches the Vas Deferens. epidiymis is where sperm matures. part of the reproductive system
|
|
|
Vas deferens
|
Conducts and stores sperm. part of the reproductive system
|
|
|
Urethra
|
expels sperm and urine (in males) and just urine in females. part of the reproductive system
|
|
|
Scrotal sacs
|
functions to keep sperm cooler. part of the reproductive system
|
|
|
heart
|
pumps blood throughout the pigs body. part of the cardiovascular system
|
|
|
R/L atrium
|
part of the cardiovascular system. right atrium carries oxygen poor blood, left atrium carries oxygen rich blood
|
|
|
R/L ventricles
|
part of the cardiovascular system, right ventricle carries oxygen poor blood, left ventricle carries oxygen rich blood.
|
|
|
Lungs
|
Allow the pig to breathe. made up of two sections, and collects air from the trachea. oxygen poor blood from the heart comes to the lungs to make it oxygen rich blood, then returns the oxygen rich blood to the pulmonary veins into the heart.
|
|
|
Systemic
|
Oxygen rich blood. The left side of the heart
|
|
|
Pulmonary
|
Oxygen poor blood. the right side of the heart before it leaves the pulmonary arteries
|
|
|
Lobes of the lungs. Left and Right
|
Left lung has two lobes, Right lung has 3 lobes
|
|
|
Diaphragm
|
aids in breathing. diaphragm expands when you breathe in. diaphragm shrinks when you breathe out. separates the thoracic cavity and the digestive system
|
|
|

|
a sac that contains the heart. protects the heart
|
|
|
Pleural lining
|
Membrane that lines the thoracic cavity and lungs
|
|
|
Duodenum
|
the connection between the stomach and small intestine
|
|
|
Kidneys
|
located on the far ends of the pig, the kidney filters the blood and creates urine that passes to the urinary bladder
|
|
|
Ureters
|
thick long tubes that move the urine from the kidney to the bladder
|
|
|
