28
The entire superficial area of the cerebral hemispheres is an innovation and is termed the ______
Neopallium Major integrating area of the brain
29
White and grey matter positions in amniotes and mammals
Grey matter is primarily internal Grey matter to an external position-unlimited growth opportunity
30
Diencephalon parts of mammals
-Epithalamus (third ventricle) -Pineal body (epiphysis)-endocrine effect on sexual development -hypothalamus -Optic chiasma (2) -infundibulum suspends the hypophysis or pituitary gland -lamina terminalis -Anterior commissure connects to halves of diencephalon -intermediate mass -thalamus
31
Thalamus function and location
Lateral walls of diencephalon Relay network between the cerebral hemispheres and the rest of the brain, spinal cord and cranial nerves
32
Hypothalamus with optic chiasma and hypophysis function
associative and integrating center for such visceral and autonomic functions as temperature control, sleep, breathing, eating, and water balance
33
Parts of the Mesencephalon
-Cerebral Peduncles with Oculomotor nerves (3) -4 swellings: corpora quadrigemina (colliculi), paired trochlea r nerves (4) -cerebral aqueduct
34
Cerebral aqua-duct
Connects the third and fourth ventricles Parts of mesencephalon
35
The colliculi function
All that remain of optic lobes in mammals Important in auditory and visual functions
36
Metencephalon parts
-Cerebrellum -Vermis (divides two hemispheres) -Arbor vitae (white mass within cerebellum) -Pons: posterior to medulla oblongata -trigeminal nerves (5) arise from pons
37
Cerebellum function
Center of motor coordination and equilibrium functions
38
Myelenchephalon oarts
-Medulla oblongata -abducens (6) -facial (7) -vestibulocochlear (8) -glossopharyngeal (9) -vagus (10)
39
New cranial nerves in mammals
Spinal accessory nerve (11) -Supply certain neck and shoulder muscles. Origin nerve vagus nerve. Evolved from part of vagus. Hypoglossal nerve (12) -arises from ventral aspect of the medulla and innervates the muscles of the tongue and neck. Evolved from the hypobranchial nerve
40
Tela choroidea Choroid Plexus
Roof of medulla Together overlies the fourth ventricle of the brain.
41
Medulla serves as a relay station between the ______ and the ______ What does it not do….
Cerebrum Rest of the body Many reflexes are handles between its nuclei- breathing, swallowing and rate of heartbeat.
42
The body cavity or coelom of the car is divided into 4 separate compartments:
The diaphragm divides the coelom into an anterior Thoracic cavity and a posterior abdominal cavity. Thoracic cavity is divided into 3 smaller cavities: two are the pleural cavities each containing a lung. The third is the mediastinum which is the midline region between the pleural cavities. It contains the hearts and great blood vessels that enter and leave the heart.
43
The most obvious advancement we see in mammalian digestive system is the evolution of _________
Salivary glands Food is manipulated within the mouth and broken down by teeth so the salivary glands act to moisten food and provide the initial chemical breakdown of starch and disaccharides via the enzyme amylase Parotid gland and parotid duct Sub maxillary gland Sublingual gland
44
The first part of the sublingual duct is overlapped by the ________
Lymph nodes
45
Cat Stomach and parts
Pear-shaped and continuous with the esophagus -Pylorus -pylori’s sphincter (opening to small intestine) -greater curvature -lesser curvature
46
Cat small intestine parts
Duodenum Jejunum Ileum
47
The ileum ends at the junction with the __________
Large intestine (colon)
48
Cat large intestine parts
-cecum: larger in herbivores (ruminate with microorganisms) -ascending Colon -transverse Colon -descending Colon -rectum (opens to outside via anus)
49
Land vs water comparison-The Intestine
Shark-short intestine with spiral valve Mammals-Longer intestine and needs to be folded over and over. Increased length allows for larger surface area for absorption. Finger-like projections in the gut wall known as villi also increase surface area for absorption.
50
Cat liver
-divided into right and left lives by a ligament, and each lobe is divided into a large lateral lobe and a small medial lobe . -Small Quadrate love between the left medial and right medial lobes -small triangle caudate lobe CNS be seen next to the right lateral lobe when you love the liver up. Functions: store excess sugar, detoxifying harmful substances
51
The narrow end of the Gallbladder opens into the _____
Cystic duct
52
The ________ ducts from the liver join with the cystic ducts to form the ________
Hepatic Common bile duct: delivers bile to the duodenum near the pyloric sphincter
53
Pancreas
Flat, elongated gland that bends sharply near its middle. Consists of a body dorsal to the pyloric portion of the stomach and a head that lies concavity to the duodenum Secretes digestive enzymes into the intestine to break down carbs, fat, and protein. Also secretes insulin and glucagon into the bloodstream.
54
Spleen
Reddish-brown lymphatic organ Production, degradation and storage of blood cells
55
Epiglottis
New structure in mammals that closes over the glottis during swallowing
56
The partition separating the oral and nasal cavities is the _______
Palate consisting of the hard palate supported by bone and the soft palate without bone support The mucosal surface of the hard palate there is a number of transverse ridges called palatine rugae. Palatine tonsils near end of soft palate
57
The pharynx is the chamber that is common to both the _____ and _______ systems What are its parts
Digestive Respiratory -Nasopharynx -Ostium of the auditory tube (communicated with middle ear) -oropharynx -laryngopharynx -glottis (opening into the larynx that is guarded by a small flap of cartilage use called the epiglottis.
58
Larynx
Cartilaginous expansion of the draining end of the trachea near the base of the tongue that contains vocal cords.
59
Cat Tongue
Large, muscular organ in mammals that evolved from hypobranchial musculature. It is mobile and attached to the floor of the mouth by a frenulum. Dorsal portion is covered by small bumps called papillae that are rough
60
Papillae of the cat tongue -shape -number -location
Filiform-conical, most numerous, middle of dorsum Fungiform-mushroom, numerous, behind filifroms Vallate-castle, about 12, near root Foliate-Broad, Few, Root region
61
Trachea
Bifurcates into the bronchi Easily identified by a series of C-shaped tracheal cartilages which serve to strengthen its walls.
62
The Bronchi are supported by __________
A series of incomplete cartilages and undergo many subdivisions within the substance of the lung.
63
Cat Lung
Spongy organs in which respiratory exchange takes place. They are enclosed in the pleural cavities and are covered by the visceral pleura, a serous membrane. The parietal pleura lines the pleural cavities. Right lungs consists of 4 lines and the left lung has 3.
