Mouth
Entrance to GI tract
Oropharynx
Combined oral and pharyngeal space
Tongue
Taste to ensure that food only goes in one direction
Hyoid apparatus
supports tongue
Salivary Glands
Produce saliva composed of bicarbonate, water, mucin
Palatine Cleft
Passage between oral and nasal cavities
Infundibular cleft
opening of the eustachian tubes. Remains open for pressure equalization in flight
Infundibular cleft
opening of the eustachian tubes. Remains open for pressure equalization in flight
Laryngeal cleft
Opening into larynx.
Larynx
Allows passage of air from oropharynx into trachea
Trachea
Transports air from larynx to bronchi
Syrinx
Y shaped organ that aids in vocalization at the base of trachea
Esophagus
Carries food from pharynx to crop from crop to proventriculus
Crop
Stores feed and wets it
Liver
Produce plasma proteins, angiotensinogen, IGF-1, Process nutrients, Degrade toxins produce bile
Gall bladder
Stores bile looks like a chili pepper
Spleen
Looks like a grape in birds. Produces lymphocytes
Proventriculus
Acts as the true stomach to produce HCl, pepsinogen, mucous, gastrin
Ventriculus
Grinds feed
Small intestine
Produce carboxypeptidase, aminopeptidase, maltase, and sucrase, enterokinase
Duodenum
receives bile and pancreatic secretions
Jejunum
Absorb Monosaccharides, amino acids, calcium, Iron
Ileum
Absorbs water, electrolytes, vitamin B12, bile salts
Pancreas
Produce procarboxypeptidase, chymotrypsinogen, pancreatic lipase, pancreatic amylase, trypsinogen, insulin, glucagon, and bicarbonate
meckel’s diverticulum
lymphocyte production
Hepatic Portal system
Collects nutrients absorbed in the small intestine and carries the blood to the liver
Ceca
Two of them that aid in microbial fermentation of starch and cellulose. Absorb volatile fatty acids, vitamins, and water
Colon
Absorb volatile fatty acids, vitamins and water. Stores urine
Cloaca
Junction of ureters, colon, and reproductive system
Bursa Fabricius
Produce B- lymphocytes
Vent
External opening of cloaca
Kidneys
Located below the testes
Ureters
Transports urine to cloaca
