21
Q

Dogfish have a tongue?

A

22
Q

The first gill slits

A

spiracular openings

23
Q

Two portions of the dogfish stomach

A

cardiac and pyloric

24
Q

rugae

A

longitudinal folds in shark stomach allowing expansion to accommodate larger pieces of food; sharks don’t chew

25
Q

Where is the spiral valve?

A

The ileum

26
Q

What does the spiral valve do?

A

Increases intestinal surface area (and length?) so more nutrients can be absorbed from the food

27
Q

How does the rectal gland help the shark osmoregulate?

A

Secretes NaCl with food waste

28
Q

2 bonus functions of the dogfish liver

A
  1. oil-rich, so help with buoyancy (low specific gravity)

2. the oils act as an energy store

29
Q

Are the urinary and reproductive systems in the dogfish considered separate?

A

No, they share common structures and have similar origins developmentally

30
Q

What are the two functional parts of the male dogifsh’s kidneys?

A

Anterior- includes epididymis and tubules that provide secretions to help with sperm transport
Posterior- excretory purposes

31
Q

Leydig’s gland

A

tubules of the ductus deferens in the middle 2/3 of the kidney

32
Q

What does the upper portion of the female dogfish’s kidney do?

A

non-functional

36
Q

The sperm travel down the __, receiving secretions from Leydig’s gland, toward the cloaca

A

ductus

deferens

37
Q

The ductus
deferens starts out as the ___, which are responsible for urine transport
from the ____ to the cloaca; however, this function shifts when males reach maturity,

41
Q

Sexual maturity of dogfish

A

10 for males

42
Q

Unique function of kidneys in sharks

A

Extract urea from the urine and return it to the blood to regulate osmotic pressure
