Digestive and respiratory system Flashcards
main parts of the digestive tract
mouth, oral or buccal cavity, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, cloaca
digestive glands
liver, gallbladder, pancreas
differentiate alpha and beta cells in the pancreas
alpha - secrete glucagon
beta - secrete insulin
pyramidal shaped cells in the pancreas
acini
differentiate acini and islets of Langerhans cells
acini - exocrine function: release pancreatic enzyme to interlobular duct
islet - endocrine function: release pancreatic enzyme directly to the blood
prominent depression at the tip of the upper jaw
median subrostral fossa
median elevation at the tip of the lower jaw
tuberculum prelinguale
pair of deep grooves found at the inner margin of the upper jaw
sulcus marginalis
what receives the elevation at the lower jaw
sulcus marginalis
row of small teeth located along the margin of the upper jaw
maxillary teeth
set of teeth found on the roof of the mouth
vomerine teeth
bulging regions at the posterior half of the roof of the mouth
eyeball prominences
pair of openings on the posterolateral side of the eyeballs
openings of the eustachian tube
two slit-like openings in the posterolateral corner of the floor of the tongue
vocal sacs
behind the mouth is the __
pharynx
pharynx leads to the opening of a short distensible tube
esophagus
laryngeal prominence with a vertical slit-like opening ventral to the esophagus
glottis
digestive tract is suspended by
mesenteries
cavities of the frog abdome
pericardial cavity - heart
pleuroperitoneal cavity - lungs and other internal organs or viscera
the two cavities in the abdomen is separated by
transverse septum
glistening membrane on the inner side of the muscular body wall
parietal peritoneum
parietal peritoneum extends to the visceral organs as the
visceral peritoneum or serosa
large, trilobed, brownish organ occupying the anterior half of the pleuroperitoneal cavity
liver
