Anatomy Flashcards
what are the vertebrate characteristic(s) of the excretory system?
segmentation of the nephron with draining of through a common duct
what are the characteristics of the human excretory system common to all amniotes?
kidney derived from small embryonic tissue (pronephros -> mesonephros -> metanephros)
urinary bladder extending out of part of urinary tract
reduced corpuscle and lengthened tubule
the mammalian characteristics of human excretion system are what?
loop of henle
-gives water conservation
ureter separate from vagina and loss of cloaca
the strictly human characteristics of the excretory system?
urine concentration is higher than would be predicted for body size
eccrine sweat glands helps nephron with waste disposal
cerebral nuclei
paired irregular masses of gray matter buried deep within central white matter
caudate nucleus
coordinate walking movements in the arms and legs
amygdala
at the tail of caudate nucleus, responsible for expression and control of emotion and mood
filiform papillae
no taste buds, most of tongue
fungiform papillae
few taste buds on tips and sides of tongue
vallate papillae
largest and where most our buds are found, in a V shape
foliate papillae
only taste buds during infancy and childhood
cervical vertebrae
rectangle body spinous process that extends downwards
short transverse process with transverse foramen
inferior and superior articular process
large vertebral foramen
thoracic vertebrae
long spinous process that extend downward
long transverse processes that have facets for ribs
smaller circle vertebral foramen
triangular shaped body
at bottom of body theres a costal demifacet for head of rib
lumbar vertebrae
large ovalish body small triangular vertebral foramen bulky and broad spinous process thin long transverse process large inferior notch
Axis (c2)
dens
