rugae*	fold in the lining of the stomach, releases digestive enzymes
caudal	tail region
kidney*	beneath digestive organs, maintain homeostasis in bodily fluids
urethra	beneath urinary bladder, carries urine out of the body
alveoli	on the ends of bronchioli, where gas exchange occurs
peritoneum	a thin layer of tissue that lines the body cavity
pharynx	carries air from the mouth and nose to the trachea
median	middle of the pig
stomach*	under left lobe of the liver. Breaks down food and does a limited amount of absorption
lungs	in the ribcage. gas exchange occurs here
external nares	external nostrils (on nose), air passage
posterior*	toward the tail end of the body
vein*	all through body thinner than arteries, carries carbon dioxide
oviduct	connects ovaries and uterus, tube which eggs travel through
venules	very small veins (same function)
renal artery	supply kidneys with blood (connected to kidneys)
pyloric region	where the stomach narrows to join the small intestine, food goes from the stomach to the small intestine here
genital papillae*	under the tail in females only, used to excrete urine as well as in the reproductive system
cartilaginous rings*	in trachea, keeps it open for air to come in and out
caecum	at the junction of the small and large intestines, no function
pulmonary artery	leaves right ventricle, carries blood to lungs
pulmonary veins	carry oxygen rich blood from the lungs to the heart
trachea*	anterior to the lungs, airtube
vena cava	carries blood from the body to the right atrium
penis	lies just below skin posterior to the umbilical cord, transfers sperm
ventricle	lower chambers of the heart
proximal	closer to the trunk
diaphragm*	sheet of muscle that streches across abs, changes air pressure in chest cavity
deep*	lying under or below
aorta	large artery, transports blood from the left ventricle
ductus deferens	transports sperm from the epdidymus
gall bladder*	where pancreatic juice is stored
cranial*	head region
ureters*	carry urine from the kidney to the urinary bladder, located in posterior region of abdominal cavity
canine	teeth that are longer and used to tear their food
ruminants	an animal with multiple stomachs
fallopian tube*	coiled, attached to ovaries, carries eggs from the ovary
ductus arteriosus	a shunt in the fetus that allows fetal blood to bypass the lungs and go to the aorta
uterus*	at the end of the oviducts, whre the egg develops into a fetus
mammary glands*	hold milk connected to mammary pappillae
mammal	a class of vertebrate animals characterized by the pressence of sweat glands, hair, 3 middle ear bones used for hearing, and a heocortex region in the brain
dorsal	back of the body
thoracic	trunk region
capillary	very small between veins and arteries and exchange materials between the two
cervical	neck region
superficial	lying closer to the body surface
esophagus	to the left of the trachea, carries food from mouth to digestive tract
appendix	near junction of the small and large intestines, no known function
umbilical cord	used to transfer nutrients from mother to fetus
pulmonary valve	found at beginning of pulmonary artery in heart, ensures blood flow in one direction
digit	toe
lateral	to the side of the body
large intestine	posterior to the small intestine, responsible for the reclaimation of water at the end of the digestive cycle
tricuspid valve	between right atrium and right ventricle, keeps blood flow in one direction
