identifying a list of pig parts and their functions

QuestionAnswer
Pharynx Allows food and air into the body.
Epiglottis Flap in pharynx that prevents food from entering the trachea.
Larynx Voice box; sound is generated.
Esophagus Passsageway that connects the mouth and the stomach.
Trachea Passageway that connects the mouth and the lungs.
Lungs Allows for breathing of oxygen.
Diaphragm Contracts to create suction in the lungs so they draw in air.
Liver Breaks down toxins, metabolizes proteins and lipids, produces bile.
Gall Bladder Stores bile produced by the liver.
Stomach Churns food and releases hydrochloric acid to kill ingested bacteria.
Duodenum Beginning part of small intestine; breaks down food using enzymes.
Pancreas Store digestive enzymes; produces hormones.
Mesentery Attaches the small intestine to the abdomen.
Jejuno-illeum Most of the small intestine; absorbs nutrients broken down by duodenum.
Colon Extracts water and salts from solid waste.
Spleen Filters red blood cells; activates immune response in white blood cells.
Rectum Storage site for feces.
Caecum Connects the small intestine with the large intestine.
Thymus Produces T-Lymphocytes.
Thyroid Produces hormones.
Heart Pumps blood throughout the body.
Pericardial sac Protects and lubricates the heart.
Right / left atrium The right atrium receives de-oxygenated blood from the superior vena cava. The left atrium receives oxygenated blood from the left and right pulmonary veins
Right / left ventricle The right ventricle pumps blood into the pulmonary circulation for the lungs. the left ventricle pumps blood into the systemic circulation through the aorta for the rest of the body.
Coronary artery Carries oxygen and nutrients to the heart.
Pulmonary trunk The "pipe" that your blood goes through to get from the right side of the heart to the lungs to get oxygenated.
Ductus arteriosus Prevents blood from going into the non-functioning lungs of a fetus.
Pulmonary artery / vein The pulmonary arteries transport deoxygenated blood to the left and right lungs. The pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium.
Posterior vena cava Carries deoxygenated blood from the lower part of the body and bring it to the heart.
Anterior vena cava Carries deoxygenated blood from the upper part of the body and bring it to the heart.
Brachiocephalic vein Brings de-oxygenated blood from the head, neck and arm regions of the body to the right atrium.
Internal/external jugular vein Returns blood from the head to the heart.
Carotid Artery Supplies the head and neck with oxygenated blood.
Aortic arch Carries blood from the dorsal blood vessel to the ventral blood vessel.
Descending (thoratic) aorta Carry blood mostly from the aortic arch to either your head or your legs.
Dorsal aorta (abdominal aorta) The chief artery that arises from the heart to distribute blood to the body.
Celiac artery Supplies oxygenated blood to the liver, stomach, abdominal esophagus, spleen and the superior half of both the duodenum and the pancreas.
Anterior mesenteric artery Supplies the large intestine.
Renal artery / vein Renal artery supplies oxygenated blood to the kidney. Renal vein takes deoxygenated blood away from the kidney.
Ureter Muscular tubes that propel urine from the kidneys to the bladder.
Kidney Filter blood and remove wastes.
Urinary bladder Stores urine prior to disposal.
Urethra Carries urine from the bladder to outside of the body. In males, also carries semen.
Peritoneum Membrane that lines the abdominal cavity. Serves as a conduit for blood and lymph vessels and nerves.
Vas deferens Transport sperm from the epididymis in anticipation of ejaculation.
Testis Create sperm.
Penis Male sexual organ used for reproduction and urination.
Bulbourethral gland Produces a clear, viscous secretion known as pre-ejaculate during sexual arousal.
Epididymis Stores sperm prior to ejaculation.
Umbilical artery / vein The umbilical artery supplies deoxygenated blood from the fetus to the placenta. The umbilical vein carries oxygenated blood from the placenta to the growing fetus.
