A

Contralateral

20
Q

Presents four points of direction: head end (cranial), tail end (caudal), belly side (ventral), and back side (dorsal).

Ex: dog

A

Quadruped

21
Q

A collection of organs and structures sharing a common function

A

Systems

22
Q

Consists of bones and the ligaments that secure the bones at the joints.

A

Skeletal system

23
Q

Comprised of both fixed and movable joints.

A

Articular system

24
Q

Includes the skeletal muscles that move the skeleton, the face, and other structures, and give form to the body.

A

Muscular system

25
Q

Consists of the four-chambered heart, arteries, capillaries, and veins.

A

Cardiovascular system

26
Q

A system of vessels assisting the veins in recovering the body’s tissue fluids and returning them to the heart.

A

Lymphatic system

27
Q

Consists of impulse-generating/ conducting tissue organized into a central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and a peripheral nervous system (nerves).

“Fight or flight”

A

Nervous system

28
Q

Consists of glands that secrete chemical agents (hormones) into the tissue fluids and blood, affecting the function of multiple areas of the body.

A

Endocrine system

29
Q

Consists of the skin, its glands, sensory receptors, vessels, immune cells, antibodies, and layers of cells and keratin that resist environmental factors harmful to the body.

A

Integumentary system

30
Q

Consists of the upper (nose through larynx) and lower respiratory tract (trachea through the air spaces of the lungs).

A

Respiratory system

31
Q

Consists of an alimentary canal and glands. It performs the breakdown, digestion, and assimilation of food as well as excretion of the residua. Glads include the liver, the pancreas, and the billiary system.

A

Digestive system

32
Q

Is responsible for the conservation of water and maintenance of a neutral acid-base balance in the body fluids. The kidneys are the main functionaries of this system.

A

Urinary system

33
Q

Consists of multiple organs involved in body defense.

A

Immune/lymphoid system

34
Q

Secretes sex hormones, produces and transports germ cells (ova), receives and transports male germ cells to the fertilization site, maintains the developing embryo/fetus, and sustains the fetus until birth.

A

Female reproductive system

35
Q

Secretes male sex hormones, forms and maintains germ cells (sperm), and transports germ cells to the female genital tract.

A

Male reproductive system

36
Q

Not open to the outside of the body. Lined with membrane.

A

Closed body cavities

37
Q

Occupied by the brain and its coverings, cranial nerves, and blood vessels.

A

Cranial cavity

38
Q

Houses the spinal cord, its coverings, related vessels, and nerve roots.

A

Vertebral cavity

39
Q

A tough, fibrous membrane.

A

Dura mater

40
Q

Contains the lungs, heart, and neighboring structures in the chest.

A

Thoracic cavity

41
Q

Containing the gastrointestinal tract and related glands, the urinary tract, and great numbers of vessels and nerves, has muscular walls anterolaterally the lower ribs and muscle laterally, and the lumbar and sacral vertebrae and muscles posteriorly.

A

Abdominopelvic cavity

42
Q

Serous membrane that is continuous with the outer membrane of the abdominal viscera.

A

Peritoneum

43
Q

Largely tubular passageways (tracts) of visceral organs that open to the outside of the body.

A

Open visceral cavities

44
Q

Open at the nose and mouth

A

Respiratory tract

Q

Opens at the mouth and the anus

A

Digestive tract

Urinary tract

47
Q

Mucus secreting layer
