| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| it is the opening at the end of the digestive system from which feces exits the body. | anus |
| small sac located on the cecum is? | appendix |
| the part of the large intestine that run upwards; it is located after the cecum. | ascending colon |
| a digestive chemical that is produced in the liver, stored in the gall bladder, and secreted into the small intestine. | bile |
| the first part of the large intestine; the appendix is connected to the cecum. | cecum |
| food in the stomach that is partly digested and mixed with stomach acids. Chyme goes on to the small intestine for further digestion. | chyme |
| the part of the large intestine that run downwards after the transverse colon and before the sigmoid colon. | descending colon |
| the first part of the small intestine; it is C-shaped and runs from the stomach to the jejunum. | duodenum |
| the flap at the back of the tongue that keeps chewed food from going down the windpipe to the lungs. When you swallow, the epiglottis automatically closes. When you breathe, the epiglottis opens so that air can go in and out of the windpipe. | epiglottis |
| the long tube between the mouth and the stomach. It uses rhythmic muscle movements (called peristalsis) to force food from the throat into the stomach. | esophagus |
| a small, sac-like organ located by the duodenum. It stores and releases bile (a digestive chemical which is produced in the liver) into the small intestine. | gall bladder |
| the last part of the small intestine before the large intestine begins. | ileum |
| the long, coiled mid-section of the small intestine; it is between the duodenum and the ileum. | jejunum |
| a large organ located above and in front of the stomach. It filters toxins from the blood, and makes bile (which breaks down fats) and some blood proteins. | liver |
| the first part of the digestive system, where food enters the body. Chewing and salivary enzymes in the mouth are the beginning of the digestive process (breaking down the food). | mouth |
| an enzyme-producing gland located below the stomach and above the intestines. Enzymes from the pancreas help in the digestion of carbohydrates, fats and proteins in the small intestine. | pancreas |
| rhythmic muscle movements that force food in the esophagus from the throat into the stomach. Peristalsis is involuntary - you cannot control it. It is also what allows you to eat and drink while upside-down. | peristalsis |
| the lower part of the large intestine, where feces are stored before they are excreted. | rectum |
| glands located in the mouth that produce saliva. Saliva contains enzymes that break down carbohydrates (starch) into smaller molecules. | salivary glands |
| the part of the large intestine between the descending colon and the rectum. | sigmoid colon |
| a sack-like, muscular organ that is attached to the esophagus. Both chemical and mechanical digestion takes place in the stomach. When food enters the stomach, it is churned in a bath of acids and enzymes. | stomach |
| the part of the large intestine that runs horizontally across the abdomen. | transverse colon |
| Tuft of capillaries inside the Malpighian body is known as | Glomerulus |
| It filter the wastes from the blood and excrete them in the form of urine is called? | Kidney |
| Bag like structure in which urine is stored. | Urinary Bladder |
| a fluid produced by the kidneys that contains water, urea and other waste materials | urine |
| the process by which wastes are removed | excretion |
| a chemical that comes from the breakdown of proteins and that is removed from the body by the kidneys | urea |
| a narrow tube that carries uring from one of the kidneys to the urinary bladder is? | Ureter |
| Where does air enter the respiratory system? | Pharynx |
| What is another name for the trachea? | Windpipe |
| What is another name for the pharynx? | Throat |
| Which organ controls breathing? | Diaphragm |
| What are the smallest tubes that carry oxygen? | Bronchioles |
| What gas is taken in by the lungs in order to provide this gas to the rest of the cat? | Oxygen |
| What tube connects to the bronchial tubes? | trachea |
