Mass Simplified Stack Flashcards
Peritoneum
Covers internal space and organs. Holds organs in place.
Alimentary canal Parts and meaning
Oral Cavity, Salivatory glands, Teeth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, and anus
Digestive Tract
Oral Cavity
Possesses tounge for food manipulation.
Salvatory Glands
Dissolve Flavorents, Saliva, Lubricates, Produces Enzymes, Can be Venom distributes.
Teeth
Bone or Keratin. Balen is keratin and in Whales.
Esophagus functions (Normal)
Swallowing, Goes from skeletal muscle to smooth, Mucus glands,
Esophagus (Bird)
Leads to the Crop and Rumin (Foregut fermenters)
Crop
In birds, Food storage and grinding
Rumin
In foregut fermenters, Microbial digestion of cellulose
Stomach (Normal)
Food Storage, Mucosal Folds, 3 muscle layers (Mixing), Rugae for stretch, Gastric pits and glands.
Gastric Pits and glands
In the stomach, aid in digestion and secrete gastric Juice.
Gastric Juice
Hydrochorid acid and Mucus (Protection and digestion)
Protelyric enzymes and Mucus (Protection)
Bird Stomach parts
Secrotory stomach and Gizzard
Gizzard
Keritin internal covering for grinding (Can use rocks)
Chyme
Digestive product. Acidic Liquid that enters the Duodeum of small intestine
Duodeum
Takes Chyme from stomach along with enzymes from the pancreas, bile from the liver and Alkaline mucus from Brunners gland to neutralize.
Small intestine
Lined with Enterocytes, receives from the Duodeum
Enterocytes
Preform obsorbtion in the small intestine, digestion, and (Large area) are favored by nature.
How is Enterocytes surface area increases
Long length, Internal Folds, Microvilli.
increases it 600x
Large intestine
Cecum joins Small intestine to large. Obsorbs feces and H2O
Cecum
Adjoins Small and Large intestine. Houses an Appendix
In hindgut fermenters, Cecum expanded to accommodate microbial digestion of cellulose.
Appendix
Lymphadic organ, housed in the cecum.
Composition of Feces
1/3 home cells
1/3 bacteria
1/3 in-digestable material (Like cellulose)
It is mostly water, these are addition to it
What systems control an animals water budget?
Digestive and Urinary systems
What adds and takes away from the water budget
In- Drinking, eating, metabolic H2O
Out- Pee, Poop, evaperation
What are the Components of the Urinary system
Kidneys, Uriter, Bladder and Urithra
Functions of the urinary system
Water recycling, Blood pressure, excresion (of metabolic wastes like nitrogenous compounds)
The 3 types of Nitrogenous wastes
Amonia (Most toxic), Urea, Uric aid (Least toxic)
What do paired Dorsal kidneys have
Have cellular tubules (nephrons and Collecting ducts) that form and convey urine.
Nephrons
Located in the kidneys (One of 2 cellular tubules)
Basic function- they make urine, control BP via Renin angiotensin
3 things done by them~ Glomerular filtration, tubular reabsorption, and tubular secretion.
Collecting Ducts
Located in the Kidney, one of 2 cellular tubules. These move urine into the Uriter
Glomerular Ducts
Plasma forced through holes in the glomerular. Small molecules diffuse to the renal tubes (h2o, wastes etc.)
Tubular reabsorbtion
Small (valuable molecules) are transported from the renal tube and peritubular capularies.
Tubular Secretion
(Excersion) Extra factors are moved from blood in particular capularies to renal tube.
What is kidney power
Ability to recycle water and reabsorb it.
Powerful in marine and desert mammals.
Excitatory structures of marine vertebrates
Gills (saltwater bony fish)
Rectal gland (sharks)
Cranial glands (marine reptiles and birds)
What happens when Nephron cells detect a decrease in BP
They release renin which converts to Angiotensinogen into Angiotensinogen 1 (a hormone precursor) which via ACE (converting enzyme) makes into Angiotensinogen 2 (an active hormone)
Affects if Angiotensinogen 2
Thirst and drinking (increases blood volume and therefore BP)
Release of hormone from the pituitary (Vasopressin)
Effects of Vasopressin
Increase of water recycling by Nephron (causing an increase of blood volume and therefore BP)
Widespread vascular instruction which increases vascular instruction and increases BP
Parts and purposes of (male) reproductive system
Gonads and genital ducts, function as meiosis and gamete production.
2 things involved with Meiosis
Endocrine secretion of “sex hormones” (sex differential and readiness)
Embryo Support
What are testies
(Plural) for testis, called Testical in mammals
Sac of seminiferous tubules for sperm production and spermatic duct (gas deference)
Seminiferous tubules
In testies
sperm production and spermatic duct.
Serfoli cells and intersticial cells are included in this system
Sertoli Cells
Nourish and support developing sperm
Part of the seminiferous ducts that are in the testies
Interstitial cells
Make testosterone. These are outside the seminiferous tubules but inside the testies.
Spermatic duct
Continuous with seminiferous tubules inside the testies.
Can store sperm. Fed with glands that secrete seminal fluid (semen)
eg prostate gland
