pig parts2

A gland that makes and stores hormones that help regulate the heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, and the rate at which food is converted into energy

organ used to breathe

organ used to pump blood through blood vessels

muscular sheer sepertating the thoracic and abdominal cavities; used to ventilate the lungs of mammals

large multilobed organ of the abdonminal cavity located just causal to the diaphragm; secretes bile, filters toxins and nutrients from the blood and stores sugars.

organ located on the underside of the liver which stores bile and releases it into the duodenum

large U shaped digestive reservoir for food. the stomach not only stores food but breaks down food using its own chemicals

connective membrane that suspends body organs in the abdominal cavity and holds them together

granular organ located along the left margin of the duodenum and the caudal margin of the stomach; produces digestive enyzmes and a variety of hormones

thin tissue surrounding and protecting the heart

large muscular chamber of the heart that pumps blood out of the heart into an artery.

one of seven small arteries located on the ventral surface of the heart that supply freshly-oxygenated blood to the tissue of the heart

cranial-major vein returning deoxygenated blood from the upper extemities of the body to the right atrium of the heart.

caudel- major vein returning deoxygenated blood from the lower extremities of the body to the right atrium of the mammalian heart

flap like outer region covering the cranial portion of the atrium

chamber of the heart that recieves blood

supplies head and neck with oxygenated blood

artery- short blood vessels which in the aduly, carry deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs

vein- blood vessels which in the adult, carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart.

large artery arising from the left ventricle that distributes blood to the regions of the body.

short connection joining the pulmonary trunk with the aorta and allowing a portion of the blood from the pulmonary trunk to enter the aorta instead of flowing to the lungs; found only in the fetus

major branch of the aorta that spplies blood to the head and upper trunk region of the body

brings deoxygenated blood from the head to the heart

artery-supply kidneys with blood

veins-drain kidneys

pouch extend from the caudal region of the male which contains the testes. Their presence allows the temperature of the testes to be maintained at a slighter lower temperature than that of the abdominal cavity.

attatchment between the maternal placenta and the fetus though which gases, nutrients and nitrogenous wastes are transported during embryonic development.

opening of the urethra or the urogenital sinus through which urine passes as it is elimiated from the body

cartilaginous region of the roof of the mouth that seperates the oral cavity from the nasal passageway located toward the back of the mouth

tastebuds?

cartiligious flap that covers the glottis to prevent food from entering the larynx and trachea when swallowing.

opening in the oral cavity that leads from the nasopharynx to the larynx and tracea. sound

connects mouth to stomach

canal though which digestive enzymes produced by the pancreas are transported to the duodenum.

tuble thorugh which bile is transported from the liver to the gallbladder and from the gallbladder to the duodenum.

ductless vascualr organ in the abdominal cavity that is a component of the circulatory system; stores blood, recycles worn out red blood cells and produces lymphocytes

first portion of the small intestine; functions primarily in final stages of chemical digestion and begins the process of nutrient absorption

absorb products of digestion not absorbed in the jejunum

middle portion of the small intestine extending from the duodenum to the ileum; primaryly responsible for nutrient absorbtion.

serves as a sac where fermintation of cellulose occurs.

portion of large intestine extending from the cecum to the rectum that functuons primarily in reabsorbing water that has been added during the digestive process.

distal end of the intestinal tract; primary function is to reabsorb water and produce dry, concentrated feces

accompany the subscapular artery to drain into the auxilary veins

artery- recieve blood from top of aorta

conveys blood to the heart

large vessel that caries nutrient-rich and toxin-laden blood from the small intestines and pancreas to the liver for detoxification and regulation of nutrient release before the blood passes to the rest of the body

artery- supplies intestine

vein- drains blood from intestine

drains blood to auxiliary veins

artery- carries blood to lower limb

veins-

returns oxygentated blood to heart

arteries- paired vessels that carry blood from the fetus to the placenta

vein-single vessel that carries oxygen and nutrient-rich blood to the fetus from the fetal side of the placenta.

divides into inferior thyroid
