Q

In turtles, snakes and lizards, what happens when the atria contracts?

A

when the atria contracts, the atrioventricular valves cover the opening of the intraventricular canal, temporarily separating the ventricle into two parts, confining the oxygenated blood in the cavum arteriosum and the deoxygenated blood in the cavum pulmonale

Q

In turtle, snakes and lizards, what happens when the ventricle contracts?

A
  • when the ventricle contracts, the muscular ridge makes contact with the ventricle wall creating a separation between the cavum venosum and cavum pulmonale, preventing a back flow of blood
  • the atrioventricular valves close, opening the intraventricular canal, permitting the oxygenated blood in the cavum arteriosum to flow into the cavum venosum and out the aorta, while deoxygenated blood flows from the cavum pulmonale into the pulmonary arteries

Q

Describe the various components of blood circulation in the turtle.

A
  • sinus venosus receives deox blood from precaval and postcaval veins and then empties into right atrium
  • right aortic arch gives rise to brachiocephalic trunk, which then separates into two subclavian arteries
  • brachiocephalic trunk also gives rise to pair of common carotid arteries from its dorsal surface
  • ventral cervical artery arises from subclavian artery
  • axillary artery gives rise to vessels to plastro, pectoral girdle and forelimb
  • left and right aortic arches give rise to the dorsal aorta, which gives rise to the arteries to the digestive tract
  • pulmonary trunk becomes right and left pulmonary arteries
  • right pulmonary artery passes into lung

53
Q

What are the multifidid cervicis in birds?

A

a complex group of small muscles which each surround a cervical vertebra, giving the neck flexibility

54
Q

Function of the longus colli in birds?

A

moves the neck down and forward

55
Q

Which two muscles in birds make up for 20-30% of their body weight? Why is this advantageous?

A

pectoralis and supracoracoides = flight muscles

allows for stronger flying and lift off the ground to escape from predators or travel long distances

Q

Describe the relative size of the axial muscles of the bird. What aspect of the bird skeleton allows for this reduction?

A

axial muscles are reduced since add extra weight for nothing

the keel is less weight and allows for better muscle attachment of flight muscles

58
Q

Where does air pass in the bird?

A

into oral cavity, tracea, through bronchci, to parabronchi (air tubes) in lungs

59
Q

What is the syrinx in birds?

A

sound producing organ formed by modifications of tracheal rings, bronchial half rings or both

60
Q

What kind of respiratory system do birds have?

A

system of air sacs (reservoirs of inhaled air) that have no blood vessels

61
Q

When does gas exchange occur in birds?

A

-exchange of air occurs on exhalation as air passes out of the air sacs back into the lungs

62
Q

What is the name of the membrane that contains the heart of the bird?

A

pericardium

63
Q

The heart of the bird has how many chambers?

A

four chambers: two thin walled atria and two large thick ventricles

64
Q

Due to the absence of teeth, what adaptations do birds have in their digestive tract to compensate for this?

A
  • food storage in the crop

- mechanical digestion of food in gizzard (due to no teeth)

65
Q

In some birds, like pigeons, the esophagus has what type of special adaptation?

A

esophagus has out-pocketings that can be inflated and used to resonate sounds in courtship displays, used as visual signals, carry seeds

66
Q

What are the two parts of the stomach of birds?

A

proventriculus and gizzard

67
Q

What type of birds have well-developed gizzards?

A

seed eating birds

Q

What is strange about the kidneys of birds?

A

are irregularly shaped and have three lobes

70
Q

How is a kidney divided?

A

medulla and cortex

71
Q

With the exception of South American rheas, what do birds lack in their excretory system that was seen in turtles? How does this relate to nitrogenous waste that they produce?

A

birds do not have a urinary bladder for storage, probably due to the uric acid they produce is quite toxic and therefore cannot be stored inside their body (must be excreted right away)

72
Q

What is the role of the vasa deferentia in male birds?

A

carry sperm from the testes to the cloaca

73
Q

How many ovaries does a female bird have?

Q

What do you notice about the general morphometrics of the snake viscera?

A

All viscera are elongated and flattened due to the snake’s long and thin shape

76
Q
