pair of pulmonary arteries

58
Q

What enters the left atrium?

A

several pulmonary veins

59
Q

What is the major difference between the left and right ventricles?

A

left pumps oxygenated blood into the aortic arch, is more muscular and thicker walled

60
Q

What kind of specialization for herbivory do rabbits have for their digestive system?

A

are hindgut fermenters, cecum may have up to ten times the capacity of the stomach

61
Q

The cecum of many herbivores has a spiral valve. What is the cecum’s and valve’s function?

A

absorbs fluids and salts after digestion, increases surface area for better absorption

62
Q

What is the role of the placenta? What allows for this exchange to occur?

A
  • provides the embryo with nutrients and oxygen and removers respiratory/nitrogenous waste
  • fetal and maternal blood come close enough together for it to occur
63
Q

How does blood rich in oxygen and nutrients enter the embryo?

A

through the umbilical vein into caudal vena cava (postcaval)

A

keeps food from going into trachea

80

larger in rabbit due to mastication (herbivory)

81

retracts the hyoid

83
Q

What is the role of the longus colli?

mink has one aortic arch and the turtle has two

94
Q

Match.
Aortic arch, brachiocephalic trunk, postcaval vein, costocervical vein, left common carotid artery, left subclavian artery

receives blood from renal vein, gives rise to the right common carotid and the right subclavian artery, gives rise to the carotid artery, arises from the aortic arch, drains into precaval vein, arterial vessel arises from left ventricle

A

Aortic arch-arterial vessel arises from left ventricle
brachiocephalic trunk-gives rise to the carotid artery
postcaval vein-receives blood from renal vein
costocervical vein-drains into precaval vein
left common carotid artery-gives rise to the right common carotid and the right subclavian artery
left subclavian artery-arises from the aortic arch

95
Q
