Anatomy 1 Exam 4 Flashcards
membrane that lines all abdominal organs. (Retroperitoneal)
Lye deep in abdominal/pelvic cavity; located behind (Retroperitoneal - membrane that lines all abdominal organs.)Kidneys
fat around kidneys
Perirenal fat pad/capsule:
outer portion of each kidney seen in cross section
Cortex:
inner portion of each kidney seen in cross section
Medulla:
minuet tube like structures within the kidney which filter waste products from the blood
Tubules:
little tufts of capillaries located within the structural & functional unit of the kidney
Glomeruli:
produce urine (excretion / waste) product, color based on concentration intake; control pH & water balance
Kidneys
from kidney to urinary bladder
Ureters
tapered (funnel) shaped tubes, opening is widest when first leave kidney and narrow away from kidney
Ureters
passageway for urine from the kidneys to urinary bladder
Ureters
1st part of ureters where urine 1st past after filters by kidneys (look like deer antlers)
Calyces (calyx – sing.) cup like extensions of the ureters;
central collection area for urine
Pelvis-Renal:
store urine temporarilytransitional cells that can stretch itself to its fullest capacity; does have a breaking point
Urinary Bladderpubic region; lowest 3 levels of middle region out of 9
from urinary bladder to outside of body
Urethra
used/shared by GUT (Genital Urinary Tract); reproductive & urinary system
Male Urethra (function differ):
shorter; only used for urination
Female Urethra (structure differ):
passageway for food which begins in the mouth & ends at the anal canal
Alimentary canal
those which help in digestion but not part of the alimentary canal
Accessory organs
(oral or buccal/facial cheeks/trumpeter muscle) divisions
Mouth
space inside mouth cavity between cheeks and gums
Vestibule
space inside gums
Mouth cavity proper
– accessory organsi. Deciduous (baby or milk teeth) – 20ii. Permanent – 32
Teeth
– accessory organ; contain taste buds
Tongue
– accessory organs, 3 pairs; exocrine glandsmake saliva with ptyalin (digestive enzymes in saliva that helps break down starches)
Salivary glands
– largest Salivary glands; located at angle of mandible; mumps
Parotid (Salivary glands)
- beneath lower jaw; empty saliva at lower teeth
Sub mandibular (Salivary glands)
– Salivary glands under/beneath tongue
Sublingual (Salivary glands)
– throat; passageway used by both digestive and respiratory
Pharynx
trigger or initiate wavelike movement (peristalsis) of food in the digestive systemTell your body to move voice box so food goes down correct pipe
Swallowing:
between mouth cavity proper & esophaguspassageway for food from mouth to esophagus
Pharynx
