term	definition
abdominal	muscle in stomach, allows for movement
epitrichium*	outer layer of the epidermis under which hair develops
mesentery*	a fold of tissue which attaches organs to the body wall
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
duodenum*	connects stomach and jejunum, where most chemical digestion takes place in small intestine
bronchi	in lungs, bronchioles connected to this, transfers gas
urogenital sinus	right before urogenital opening
mitral valve	between left atrium and ventricle, keeps blood flow in one direction
ventral	underside of body
pancreas*	produces pancreatic juice which aids in digestion, beneath rectum
epididymus	connects the testicle to its vas deferens, narrow and tightly coiled
jejunum*	central of the 3 divisions of small intestine, absorbs nutrients, part of digestion
coronary circulation	arteries and veins that only nourish the heart tissues
anus	external opening of the rectum, feces expelled her
artery	carries blood away from the heart
urinary bladder	lies between umbilical arteries, temporarily stores liquid waste filtered from blood
urogenital opening	where urine exits the body and sperm enters/leave the body
mammary papillary*	tiny bumps on the ventricle surface connecting to mammary glands
pericardial sac	surrounds heart and diaphragm, protects from body wall
aortic valve	connects aorta and left ventricle, blood flow
hard palate	anterior part of palate, on roof of mouth
ileum	final section of small intestine, absorbs whatever hasn't been absorbed by jejunum
cardiac region	the largest part of the stomach, where contents of esophagus empties
small intestine*	between stomach and large intestine, digestion of food and absorption of nutrients occurs here
distal	farther
vagina	exterior opening of the uterus, used in both the reproductive and excretory systems
bronchioles	branches off of bronchi, ends in alveoli, gas exchange
glottis	vocal cords and the space in between, in larynx
auricle	ears
soft palate*	posterior part of the palate in the roof of the mouth
arterioles	blood vessel that extends from an artery to capillary
pinnae	external ears
ovary*	produces eggs, oval shaped and attached to the uterus
spleen*	filters out and destroys dead blood cells, wrapped around stomach, reddish/brown
testis*	produce sperm and testosterone
anterior*	towards back end of the body
villi*	line small intestine, increase surface area for absorption
sensory papillae*	tiny projections on the tongue, taste buds
rectum*	runs posteriorly along dorsal body wall, final portion of the large intestine, ends w/ anus
pleura	tissue that covers and protects lungs
urogenital system	excretory and reproductive systems
colon	large intestine
nictating membrane	3rd eyelid, moistens eye and maintains vision
atrium	upper portion of heart
oral cavity	mouth
nasopharynx	cavity that carries air from nostrils to trachea
scrotal sac	holds the testis
epiglottis*	cone shaped structure at back of mouth
liver	makes bile, aids in digestion
renal vein	kidney vein
vas deferens	tube which takes sperm out of the testis
colon	large intestine
nictating membrane	3rd eyelid, moistens eye and maintains vision
atrium	upper portion of heart
oral cavity	mouth
larynx*	voicebox, protects trachea and produces sound, just below where pharynx splits into trachea and esophagus
bile*	found in liver, aids in digestion
