Abdominal Cavity

Question 1

What are the meningies in the abdominal cavity called?

Answer 1

parietal

Question 2

What organ does a fetal pig have but not a human

Answer 2

spiral colon, instead of the large intestine

Question 3

what are the five lobes in the liver? (fetal pig)

Answer 3

right lateral, right central, left central, left lateral, and the caudate lobe.

Question 4

what are the four lobes in the liver (human)

Answer 4

right, left, caudate, quadrate

Question 5

where is the ileocecal valve?

Answer 5

Large intestine and allows digested foot to pass from the small intestine into the large intestine

Question 6

Track for digestive system in both humans and fetal pigs

Answer 6

The diaphragm is first and in both humans and pigs it separates the thoracic and the abdominal cavity and assists with breathing by permitting inhalation and exhaltion. Next is the gall bladder which helps to produce bile in both humans and pigs. Then there is the stomach which mixes food with the bile. The small intestine then digests anything not previously digested from the stomach. Then its the large intestine which absorbs water, the pancreas which helps regulate hormone levels and blood sugar. Next comes the spleen that helps regulate the level of blood cells, the kidneys come next and help remove waste products/excess fluid from the body. Finally there is the urinary bladder which gets rid of fluid, the reproductive structures such as the urogenital system with the rectum getting rid of the waste products from the digestive tract.

Question 7

where does the adrenal gland differ in fetal pigs and humans?

Answer 7

fetal pig: anterior end of the kidney human: cap on top of kidneys

Question 8

esophagus

Answer 8

Located in the thoracic cavity and helps carry food from the oral cavity down into the abdominopelvic cavity.

Question 9

duodenum

Answer 9

This is located in the small intestine and is found in the Epigastric region/Umbilical region. It helps to continue the movement/digestion of food from the bottom of the stomach into the opening of the small intestine.

Question 10

jejunum

Answer 10

This is located in the small intestine and is found in the Left Upper Quadrant and is a continuation of the small intestine tract.

Question 11

spiral colon

Answer 11

This is located in the large intestine in the Left Lower Quadrant and assists in the absorption of water functions of the large intestine.

Question 12

fundus

Answer 12

This is located in the stomach in the epigastric region and is the dilated anterior portion of the stomach.

Question 13

rugae

Answer 13

This is also located in the stomach in the epigastric region and is the folds of the stomach that help to churn and mix the food with the digestive juices.

Question 14

pyloric sphincter

Answer 14

This is in the stomach in the Right Upper Quadrant and is at the posterior end of the stomach and works to regulate the release of partially digested food into the duodenum.

Question 15

cardiac sphincter

Answer 15

This is in the stomach in the Right Upper Quadrant and works to control the enterance of food into the stomach from the esophagus.

Question 16

mesentary

Answer 16

This is located in the small intestine in both the Right lower quadrant and the left lower quadrant. The mesentery works to reduce friction between the moving parts of organs.

Question 17

cystic duct

Answer 17

This is in the gall bladder in the Right Upper quadrant and helps to transport bile from the gall bladder through the bile duct system.

Question 18

common bile duct

Answer 18

This is located in the gall bladder as well in the Right Upper Quadrant and helps to join together the hepatic duct from the liver into one whole structure that enters the duodenum.

Question 19

hepatic duct

Answer 19

This is located in the gall bladder in the Upper Right Quadrant and is the passage from the bile in the liver to the common bile duct which then goes into the duodenum.

Question 20

gallbladder

Answer 20

This is located in the Upper Right Quadrant and works to store bile that is secreted from the liver and releases it into the duodenum.

Question 21

rectum

Answer 21

This is located in the Hypogastric region and is the end of the digestive tract where it expels out any waste products.
