Kaminski Bio Lab Practical 2016 Digestive System

Front 1

Peritoneum

Back 1

the serous membrane lining the cavity of the abdomen and covering the abdominal organs.

Front 2

Umbilical Artery

Back 2

either of a pair of arteries that arise from the hypogastric arteries of the mammalian fetus and pass through the umbilical cord to the placenta to which they carry the deoxygenated blood from the fetus

Front 3

Umbilical Vein

Back 3

vein present during fetal development that carries oxygenated blood from the placenta to the growing fetus

Front 4

Liver

Back 4

It cleans your blood. It produces an important digestive liquid called bile. It stores energy in the form of a sugar called glycogen

Front 5

Gall Bladder

Back 5

the small sac-shaped organ beneath the liver, in which bile is stored after secretion by the liver and before release into the intestine.

Front 6

Hepatic Duct

Back 6

Transports bile from the liver to the gall bladder then to the pancreas

Front 7

Cecum (appendix)

Back 7

pouchlike structure of the colon, located at the junction of the small and the large intestines

Front 8

Anus

Back 8

the opening at the end of the alimentary canal through which solid waste matter leaves the body

Front 9

Rectum

Back 9

the final section of the large intestine, terminating at the anus

Front 10

Stomach

Back 10

the internal organ in which the major part of the digestion of food occurs

Front 11

Pyloric Valve

Back 11

a strong ring of smooth muscle at the end of the pyloric canal which lets food pass from the stomach to the duodenum

Front 12

Cardiac Valve

Back 12

any of the valves that control blood flow to and from the heart and that include the atrioventricular valves, the aortic valve, and the pulmonary valve

Front 13

Esophagus

Back 13

the part of the alimentary canal that connects the throat to the stomach

Front 14

Hard Palate

Back 14

the bony front part of the palate.

Front 15

Soft Palate

Back 15

the fleshy, flexible part toward the back of the roof of the mouth

Front 16

Pharynx

Back 16

the membrane-lined cavity behind the nose and mouth, connecting them to the esophagus

Front 17

Abdominal Cavity

Back 17

contains a number of crucial organs including the lower part of the esophagus, the stomach, small intestine, colon, rectum, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, kidneys, and bladder

Front 18

Pancreas

Back 18

a large gland behind the stomach that secretes digestive enzymes into the duodenum as well as creating insulin

Front 19

Spleen

Back 19

an abdominal organ involved in the production and removal of blood cells in most vertebrates and forming part of the immune system

Front 20

Large Intestine

Back 20

the cecum, colon, and rectum collectively

absorbs water from the remaining indigestible food matter and transmits the useless waste material from the body

Front 21

Small Intestine

Back 21

the part of the intestine that runs between the stomach and the large intestine; the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum collectively

absorbs nutrients and minerals from food

Front 22

Mesentery

Back 22

a fold of the peritoneum that attaches the stomach, small intestine, pancreas, spleen, and other organs to the posterior wall of the abdomen

Front 23

Duodenum

Back 23

the first part of the small intestine immediately beyond the stomach

receives partially digested food (known as chyme) from the stomach and plays a vital role in the chemical digestion of chyme in preparation for absorption in the small intestine

Front 24

Jejunum

Back 24

the part of the small intestine between the duodenum and ileum

specialized for the absorption, by enterocytes, of small nutrient particles which have been previously digested by enzymes in the duodenum

Front 25

Ileum

Back 25

the third portion of the small intestine, between the jejunum and the cecum

absorb vitamin B12 and bile salts and whatever products of digestion were not absorbed by the jejunum. The wall itself is made up of folds, each of which has many tiny finger-like projections known as villi on its surface

Front 26

Descending Colon

Back 26

the part of the large intestine that passes downward on the left side of the abdomen toward the rectum

store the remains of digested food that will be emptied into the rectum
