Q

Where are the Premolars and Molars (Cheek Teeth)?

A

They are Found in the Maxilla Bone and the Mandible. They Act Like Shears, Cutting and Slicing Meat From Bones and Grinding Food.

32
Q

What is the Largest Cutting Teeth in the Jaw of the Carnivore?

A

The Carnassial Teeth?

33
Q

What are the Teeth in the Dental Formula?

A

Incisors (I), Canines (C), Premolars (P), Molars (M)

34
Q

What is the Enzyme Lysozyme Used For?

A

It is an Enzyme in Saliva, and Helps Control the Bacterial Population in the Oral Cavity.

35
Q

What do Salivary Glands Deposit?

A

They Deposit Saliva in the Oral Cavity Via Ducts.

36
Q

What is the Enzyme Amylase Used For?

A

It Assists in the Breakdown of Starchy Carbohydrates.

37
Q

What is the Pharynx?

A

It is the Throat, and is Part of the Gastrointestinal and Respiratory Tract. Here, Food is Directed into the Esophagus.

38
Q

What is the Epiglottis?

A

It is Part of the Laryngeal Cartilage that Covers the Glottis During the Act of Swallowing. It Stops the Food From Going into the Trachea.

39
Q

What are the Tonsils Used For?

A

They are a Lymphoid Tissue that Protects the Animal Against Some Diseases Found in the Pharynx.

40
Q

What is the Cardiac Sphincter Used For?

A

It Prevents the Highly Acidic Contents of the Stomach From Backflowing or Refluxing into the Esophagus and Damaging its Mucosa.

41
Q

What is Prehension?

A

It is the Action of Bringing Food into the Mouth.

42
Q

What is a Bolus?

A

It is When Food is Macerated and Mixed with Saliva.

43
Q

What is Deglutition?

A

It is Swallowing.

44
Q

What is Peristalsis?

A

The Presence of Food In the Esophagus Triggers Swallowing and Initiates this. It is the Pattern of Muscle Contraction.

45
Q

What is the Surface of Organs in the Abdominal Cavity Covered in?

A

Visceral Peritoneum.

46
Q

What is the Abdominal Body Wall Lined By?

A

Parietal Peritoneum.

47
Q

What are Types of Connecting Peritoneum that Connects the Organs to the Parietal Peritoneum?

A

It is Mesentery, Omentum, and Ligaments.

48
Q

What Does the Mesentery that Suspends the Duodenum?

A

Mesoduodenum.

49
Q

What is the Mesentery that Suspends the Colon?

60
Q

Histamine is Secreted by What is the Gastric Mucosa?

A

Enterochromaffin-Like Cells.

61
Q

What Hormones Play a Role in Delaying Gastric Emptying By Inhibiting Pyloric Antral Contractions and Further Constricting the Pyloric Sphincter.
