Q

Rectum

A

Where feces are held until they are eliminated

25
Q

Pericardium

A

Circulatory system, tough but thin sac, helps protect the heart from injury and infection

26
Q

Thymus gland

A

Immune system, gland embedded in the pericardium, essential in proper development of the immune system, making antibody precursors known as T-cells

27
Q

Heart

A

Circulatory system, propels blood through the circulatory system, four chambers in mammals

28
Q

Right/left Atrias

A

Circulatory system, smaller chambers on top of the heart, receives blood from veins, dark in appearance because of thin walls, right receives deoxygenated blood from the Vena Cava, left receives oxygenated blood from the pulmonary veins coming from the lungs

29
Q

Right/left Ventricles

A

Circulatory system, larger, muscular chambers posterior to Atrias, receive blood from Atrias, receive blood from corresponding Atria, right sends blood to the lungs via the pulmonary artery, left sends blood to the whole body through the Dorsal Aorta

30
Q

Anterior Vena Cava

A

Circulatory system, brings deoxygenated blood from the head, neck, and all anterior portions of the body into the right atria (Superior Vena Cava in humans)

31
Q

Posterior Vena Cava

A

Circulatory system, brings deoxygenated blood from all posterior portions(posterior of the diaphragm) of the body into the right atrium

32
Q

Pulmonary veins

A

Circulatory system, carries oxygenated blood from the lungs into the left atria

33
Q

Dorsal Aorta

A

Circulatory system, largest artery in the body, carries blood out of the left ventricle and pumps it throughout the body

34
Q

Pulmonary artery

A

Circulatory system, carries deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs to be re-oxygenated

35
Q

Coronary vessels

A

Circulatory system, system of vessels responsible for supplying cells of the heart muscle with oxygen and nutrients as well as removing their carbon dioxide and wastes.

36
Q

Semilunar valves

A

valves separating ventricles from the arteries that prevent backflow from the artery into the ventricle

37
Q

Tricuspid and Bicuspid valves

A

valves separating atrias from their corresponding ventricles that prevent backflow from the ventricles into the atrias
Tri-right
Bi-left

38
Q

Right/left carotid arteries

A

Circulatory system, on either side of the trachea, main suppliers of oxygenated blood to the head

39
Q

Right/left internal jugular veins

A

Circulatory system, on either side of the trachea outside of the carotid arteries, returns deoxygenated blood from the head to the heart

40
Q

Right/left external jugular veins

A

Circulatory system, on either side of the trachea outside of the internal jugular veins, returns deoxygenated blood from the dead to the heart

41
Q

Trachea

A

Respiratory system, pipe made with rings of cartilage to prevent collapse, aka windpipe, airway from the back of the throat to the lungs

42
Q

Thyroid gland

A

(? System), reddish brown gland on the trachea, produces hormone that regulates body metabolism

43
Q

Larynx

A

Respiratory system, aka voice box, supports vocal chords and protects the trachea

44
Q

Epiglottis

A

Digestive/Respiratory system, flap of tissue that gets folded over the opening of the trachea when swallowing, directing swallowed materials into the esophagus

45
Q

Hard/soft palate

A

Digestive/Respiratory system, separate oral and nasal cavities
hard- bone and cartilage, anterior roof of the mouth, helps with mechanical digestion
soft- posterior, fleshy and soft

46
Q

Bronchi

A

Respiratory system, cartilage ring pipes like the trachea, connect the trachea to the lungs

47
Q

Bronchioles

A

Respiratory system, cartilage ring pipes like the trachea, smaller branches of the bronchi that ensure all parts of the lungs are connected

48
Q

Lungs

A

Respiratory system, reddish sacs encircling the heart, organs of gas exchange for blood, bringing in oxygen and expelling carbon dioxide

49
Q

Diaphragm

A

Respiratory system, sheet of muscle separating the chest cavity from the abdominal cavity, runs the respiratory system by causing lungs to expand and contract

50
Q

Kidneys

A

Urogenital system, shaped like kidney beans, lying against the back wall in the abdomen, remove nitrogen wastes in the form of urine, regulate ion concentrations, and maintain the body’s water balance

51
Q

Hepatic Portal Vein

A

Circulatory system?, arises from all the capillaries of the small intestine and carries absorbed nutrients to the liver for processing

52
Q

Peritoneum

A

Digestive system, protective membrane that lines the abdominal cavity to protect organs

53
Q

Abdominal Aorta

A

Circulatory system, carries oxygenated blood from the upper aorta to all of the posterior areas of the body

54
Q

Caudal Vena Cava

A

Circulatory system, collects deoxygenated blood from from the posterior areas of the body to return it to the heart

55
Q

Renal Arteries

A

Circulatory system, branch off the abdominal aorta carrying oxygen-rich waste filled blood into the kidneys

56
Q

Renal veins

A

Circulatory system, emerge from the kidneys returning to the caudal vena cava with filtered, waste free blood that’s become deoxygenated in kidney cells

57
Q

Ureter

A

Urogenital system, carries urine posteriorly from the kidneys to the urinary bladder

58
Q

Urinary bladder

A

Urogenital system, where urine is stored until it leaves the body

59
Q

Urethra

A

Urogenital system, where urine exits from the urinary bladder
