Lab 4: Life In Water, Part 3 Flashcards
The coelom contains what
The body organs and viscera
Visceral organs
Digestive, respiratory, Urogenital, and circulatory systems
Organs in the coelom are characterized by
Changing their shape and volume while they function
I’m vertebrates, the coelom has at least two cavities: the larger, posterior cavity is ________ and the thinner is the _______
The wall of each cavity is lined with ______
What are they called on each cavity
Pleurpitoneal
Pericardial
Serosa: thin, shiny lubricated membrane that secretes watery fluid to lubricate the cavity walls
-parietal peritoneum
Parietal pericardium
The shiny covering on the organs is the ___________ and the ________
Visceral peritoneum
Visceral pericardium (heart surface)
Each organ is suspended from the wall of the coelom by a double thickness of serosa called a
Mesentery - hold viscera in place while allowing them to move without getting tangled out.
What can pass through mesenteries?
Short narrow mesenteries are called _______
Blood, lymphatic vessels and nerves
Ligaments
The pericardial and pleuroperitoneal cavities contact each other at a membrane known as the
Transfer septum
Septum forms a partition between the two cavities
Abdominal pores
Connection exits between coelom and outside
-release excess coelomic fluid or may be a remnant of an evolutionary stage when gametes where discharged directly into the coelom like lamprey
The liver accounts for how much of dog fish body weight
Up to 1/3
Gall bladder function and where the stuff goes
Stores greenish bold produced by the liver. The bile travels from the gall bladder to the intestine via bile duct (colourless tube parallel to a large yellow hepatic portal vein). The bile reaches the gall bladder from the live via the hepatic ducts.
Bile emulsified fats during digestion
Liver functions
-main site of metabolic conversion of absorbed nutrients
-excess sugar storage as glycogen
-proteins to keep osmotic balance
-delaminate amino acids to urea
-detoxify
-hydrostatic organ involved in buoyancy control: large oil storage reduced density
Esophagus connects what to what
Pharynx to stomach
The stomach bends sharply to the right and then again to the left. The part of the stomach between the esophagus and the curve to the rig he is the body and the bardo part between the two curves is the ______
Pylorus
Pyloric sphincter
Distal end of the pylorus and controls the passage of food between the stomach and intestine
Spleen
Not a digestive organ, but is in fact part of the lymphatic system and function in the production, degradation and storage of blood cells
At the caudal end of the pylorus, the digestive tract turns caudally and becomes the _______
Valvular intestine
Pancreas
Accessory digestive gland
-secreted digestive enzymes into the intestine to break down carbs, protein and fat
-secretes insulin and glucagon to regulate glucose
What connects the two lobes of the pancreas
Isthmus
The valvular intestine terminated in a short _______ which empties into the ______
Colon
Cloaca
Digitform gland
Empties into the Colin
Eliminates excess salt
What cavity are the gonads apart of
Pleuroperitoneal
Opithonephros
Primitive paired kidney type
-are retroperitoneal: lie behind the peritoneum and are not part of the content of the body cavity
Parts of the dorsal mesentery
Greater Omentum (Mesogaster): Dorsal mestenery passing from the mid-dorsal wall to the esophagus and stomach cranially
Gastrosplenic ligament : part between the the spleen and stomach
Mesentery proper: portion passing the intestine
