Question
Answer
brachi-   arm  
🗑
cauda-   tail  
🗑
cervic-   neck  
🗑
corpus   body  
🗑
cyst-   bladder or sac  
🗑
glosso-   tongue  
🗑
gusta-   taste  
🗑
hepa-   liver  
🗑
nas-,rhin-   nose  
🗑
ped,pod   foot  
🗑
pharyngo-,fauci-,laryngo-   throat  
🗑
-plasty   plastic surgery  
🗑
salivary glands   parotid, submaxillary, sublingual  
🗑
parotid salivary glands   located below the ears  
🗑
submaxillary salivary glands   located at the base of the jaw on the medial edge  
🗑
sublingual salivary glands   located on either side, below the tongue  
🗑
saliva contains   mucin, bicarbonate, water, and in many species, salivary amylase  
🗑
mucin   a slippery glycoprotein that functions in lubrication  
🗑
bicarbonate   functions to keep the mout pH near neutrality  
🗑
salivary amylase   an enzyme that breaks down starch to maltose, a disaccharide, initiates starch digestion  
🗑
buccal cavity   the empty space in the mouth  
🗑
hard palate   roof of the mouth with underlying bone  
🗑
soft palate   the softer tissue posterior to the hard palate  
🗑
pharynx   the open space behind teh buccal cavity, begins at the soft palate and ends at the juncture of larynx and esophagus, joint passageway for both food/drink  
🗑
larynx   part of the respiratory tract between the pharynx and trachea, contains the vocal chords  
🗑
thyroid cartilage   forms the anterior wall of the larynx and functions to protect the vocal chords  
🗑
epiglottis   curled inside the opening into the trachea, blocks the larynx during swallowing  
🗑
trachea   transports air from larynx to bronchi, cartilage rings to hold it open for air passage  
🗑
esophagus   parrallels the trachea and is dorsal to it, carries ingested food from the pharynx to the stomach  
🗑
heart   located caudally to the laryns and ventrally to the lungs  
🗑
diaphragm   skeletal muscle that separates the thoracic cavity, which is anterior, from the abdominal cavity, which is posterior, contraction of this increases size of the thoracic cavity  
🗑
liver   posterior to the diaphragm, major metabolic processing unit that maintains levels of nutrients in the blood, secretes bile for digestion  
🗑
gall bladder   stores and excretes biloe  
🗑
stomach   produces hydrochloric acid (HCL) and pepsinogen to begin the initial breakdown of proteins  
🗑
greater omentum   lacey in appearance, part of the immune system, leukocyte production occurs here  
🗑
spleen   largest lymphatic organ in the body (part of the immune system) and thus functions as a site for production of lymphocytes, it removes old, worn red blood cells, recycling the components for other uses in the body  
🗑
pancreas   found in the duodenal loop of the small intestine, (endocrine functions) secretes hormones insulin and glucagon, (exocrine functions) and secretes digestive enzymes, such as the proenzymes typsinogen and chymotripsinogen  
🗑
small intestine   duodenum, jejunum, and ileun  
🗑
duodenum   receives chyme from the stomach, filled with brunner's glands which produce large amounts of bicarbonte to neutralize the highly acidic chyme from the stomach, receives bile from the gall bladder, and enzymes secreted by the pancreas  
🗑
jejunum   longest portion, digestion of protein and carbohydrates is fairly complete here, absorption of momosaccharides, amino acids, calcium, and iron  
🗑
ileum   absorption of water, electrolytes, bile salts, and vitamin b12, connects to the large intestine  
🗑
hepatic portal system   network of blood vessels that collects blood from the stomach, small intestine, and large intestine, delivers blood which will be high in absorbed nutrients after a meal, directrly to the liver  
🗑
large intestine   cecum, colon, and rectum  
🗑
cecum   "blind sac", fermentation of residual starch and some cellulose, and absorption of fermentation products and water occur here  
🗑
colon   longest part of the large intestine, fermentation and absorption of residual starch and cellulose  
🗑
rectum   last part of large intestine, formation of characteristic shape of droppings found in many animals  
🗑
anus   external opening of digestive tract  
🗑
kidneys   removal of waste products from blood and regulation of blood volume and body pH  
🗑
urinary bladder   stores urine in mammals  
🗑
