Q

Land vs water comparison of the kidney

A

Mammals have a high metabolic rate and require an efficient means of filtering the blood to eliminate a large amount of nitrogenous waste resulting from a high rate of Protein metabolism.

Mammals must conserve water by reabsorbing it from the filtrate. They have more nephrons, a higher glomerular filtration rate, and a higher rate of tubular reabsorption.

Mammals can filter hundreds of times their own body fluid volume in 24 hours, reabsorbed 98-99% of this and produce a highly concentrated urine.

Q

Homologous Urogenital structures

A

Cranial tubules of the mesonephros become the efferent ductules of the testis and their highly coiled tips become the head of the epididymis.

The convoluted cranial portion of the Archinephric duct becomes the body and tail of the epididymis.

Thus the amniote epididymis is homologous to the cranial part of the opisthonephros and the Archinephric duct of anaminotes.

2

Communicates with left atrium

47
Q

Parts of the aorta

A

Aorta
Arch of aorta
Thoracic aorta
Abdominal aorta

48
Q

The arch of the aorta is the site of the origin of two major block vessels:

A

Brachiocephalic artery- ascends cranially from the arch of the aorta giving off the large left common carotid artery. After curving it bifurcates into the right common carotid artery and right subclavian artery.

Left subclavian artery-ascends to the left of the Brachiocephalic artery. Curves sharply to the left and passes towards the left forelimb. It eventually runs through the armpit and is then called the axillary artery. It continues in the forking as the branchial artery

49
Q

Posterior arteries

A

Those arising from the abdominal aorta. Can be divided into unpaired visceral arteries and paired systemic arteries.

Visceral arteries supply blood to the digestive tract.

50
Q

The abdominal aorta extends from the ______ to the site from which the _________arise. It continues into the tail as the _______ artery

A

Diaphragm

Internal iliac arteries

Caudal

51
Q

Unpaired visceral arteries

A

Celiac trunk
Superior mesenteric artery
Inferior mesenteric artery

52
Q

Superior mesenteric artery

A

Splits to supply small intestine, cecum and duodenum.

53
Q

Inferior mesenteric artery

A

Supplies blood to large intestine.

In sharks, supplies the digits form gland and posterior intestine

54
Q

Celiac trunk

A

Supplies the liver, stomach, spleen and pancreas with blood.

Splits into 3 sections: hepatic artery, left gastric artery and Lienic artery.

55
Q

Lienic artery

Gastric artery

Hepatic artery

A

Largest of celiac arteries

Vesicles vein

62
Q

Two most typical variations in the formation of the vena cava

A
  1. Two common Iliac may be longer than usual, so the the inferior vena cava is formed farther cranially
  2. Two separate (cardinal veins) in the abdomen instead of a single inferior vena cava. Two veins unite in the kidney region.
63
Q

Fetal lungs do not function in oxygenation of the blood. Instead, the _______ is the major site of gas exchange

A

Placenta

64
Q

Pattern of circulation in a fetus

A

-oxygenated blood from placenta travels to fetus via the umbilical vein.
-umbilical vein flows into the inferior vena cava via a short trunk: ductus venosus.
-some blood of umbilical vein enters liver tissue but most goes to inferior vena cava then into right atrium.

-blood from right atrium enters left atrium via the foramen ovale.
-goes to left ventricular and then aorta. (No pulmonary circuit)
-ductus arteriosus connects pulmonary trunk to the aorta and blood flows into the aorta instead of pulmonary arteries.
-such little blood goes to the lungs just to keep tissue alive.
-aorta distributed mixed blood to rest of the body.
-deoxygenated blood from fetal tissue returns to placenta via the umbilical arteries.
