Q

Medial

A

Q

Posterior

A

toward the tail (but synonymous with dorsal for humans)

25
Shoulder
joint between the torso and arm
26
Pancreas
gland dorsal to the stomach and near the base of the spleen that makes digestive enzymes; resembles chewed gum
27
Torse
AKA trunk; thorax (chest region) and abdomen (gut region)
28
Head
anterior portion that contains the brains and special sensory organs
29
Hip
joint between the torso and thigh
30
Wrist
joint between forearm and anterior foot
31
Superficial
closer to the outside
32
Scrotum
contains the testes; near the anus
33
Distal
further from the torso; used to describe limbs
34
Elbow
joint between the arm and forearm
35
Anterior
toward the head (but refers to the front of the body on humans)
36
Lateral
toward the side
37
Genital Papilla
external structure that covers the vagina
38
Urogenital Opening (female)
exit/entrance of reproductive system and where urine exits; it is near the anus
39
Urogenital Opening (male)
hole through which the penis exits and where the urine exits; near the umbilical cord
40
Mesentery
connective tissue connecting the organs of the abdominal cavity
41
Greater Omentum
apron-like layer of fat and other connective tissue on the ventral side of the abdominal cavity
42
Ankle
joint between the leg and "foot"; note pigs walk on their toes
43
Ventral
toward the chest/abdomen, opposite of the back (synonymous with anterior in humans)
44
Anus
exit of the digestive system
45
Liver
large organ to the right of and anterior (superior in humans) to the stomach that detoxifies blood from the digestive system; makes bile (fluid that aids in the digestion of lipids) and stores glycogen (a storage form of glucose)
46
Duodenum
first and shortest section of the small intestine; receives chyme from the stomach, bile from the liver, and enzymes from the pancreas
47
Stomach
hollow organ that holds chyme (partially digested food and gastric juices) slowly releasing the chyme into the small intestine; gastric rugae are ridges in the stomach that allows the stomach to expand
48
Submandibular Glands
saliva producing tissue ventral (inferior to humans) to the posterior part of the jaw; sub means below and the jaw bone is the mandible
49
Parotid Glands
saliva producing tissue on the left and right sides of the head; lateral to the posterior part of the jaw
50
Mammary Papillae
projection of skin (nipples) from which (in females) offspring may drink milk; males have non-functioning mammary papillae
51
Pinna
singular- pinna; the external ears
52
Epiglottis
flap of cartilage that closes off the larynx (voice box leading to the lungs) during swallowing
53
Pharynx
the anterior (superior in humans) portion of the throat that connects the esophagus; also part of the respiratory system
54
Knee
Joint between the thigh and leg
55
Eyelids
skin that covers and protects the eye
56
Esophagus
muscular tube that leads from the pharynx to the stomach; dorsal to the trachea (windpipe)
57
Thorax
anterior (but superior in humans) part of the torso containing the heart and lungs
