includes the teeth or beak, tongue, the alimentary canal or digestive tract and
all the associated gland secreting enzymes and other body fluids

A

Digestive System

40
Q

is the breakdown of foods substances in the digestive tract into
absorbable forms. This process starts from the mouth through mastication

where digestion primarily begins, where gastric enzymes and hydrochloric
acid are secreted

A

In chicken it is
where the food is stored and soaked. Food then moves from the crop
to the proventriculus

A

Crop

48
Q

Small intestine is composed of

A

Duodenum
Ileum
Jejunum

49
Q

Liquefied food exits the stomach and enters the first portion of the
small intestine

A

(chyme)

50
Q

“blind gut” is located at the beginning of the large intestine it
connects the small intestine to the colon. In most animals, the cecum has little
function. However in animals such as the horse and rabbit, the cecum is very
important in the digestion of fibrous feeds

A

Cecum

51
Q

: having more than one digestive cavity a polygastric protozoan
also : having the stomach divided into several chambers —used of ruminants

A

Polygastric

52
Q

The ______________ is designed for food to be ingested, eructated
(belched up), chewed, and swallowed again

54
Q

refers to other high-fiber food sources.

A

55
Q

Ruminants will “chew their cud” ______________ their food material and then
grind it with their molars at a time when the animal is resting

A

(regurgitate)

56
Q

small bone at the top of the spine which the backbone connects to which allows a chicken to move their head.

A

Atlas

57
Q

the ‘framework’ upon which the body is built – it provides support, protection and enables the animal to move. It consists of bones and connective tissue, including cartilage, tendons, and ligaments. It’s also called the musculoskeletal system.

A

Skeletal system

58
Q

consists of the skull, the ribs and the vertebral column. The skull is similar to a dog’s skull but is more elongated. The vertebral column starts at the base of the skull and runs horizontally along the body.

A

axial skeleton

59
Q

__________ consists of two forelimbs and two hindlimbs. The forelimb is made up of a scapula, humerus, radius, ulnar, the capus, metacarpals and phalanges.

Q

is composed of the cerebrum, cerebellum, and brainste

A

brain

62
Q

serves as the command center for your body. It is
controlled by your brain and governs your motions, thoughts, and instinctive
responses to the environment around you. It also regulates other
physiological functions and activities including digestion, respiration, and
sexual development (puberty).

A

nervous system

63
Q

is a protective coating that surrounds each nerve. Myelin
insulates the nerve and allows signals to pass through

A

peripheral nervous

66
Q

directs your voluntary motions.

67
Q

regulates the actions you perform
without thinking about them.

68
Q

are bundles of axons in the peripheral nervous system (PNS)
that act as information highways to carry signals between the brain and spinal
cord and the rest of the body.

A

Nerves

69
Q

is a complex network of glands and organs. It
uses hormones to control and coordinate your body’s metabolism, energy
level, reproduction, growth and development, and response to injury, stress,
and mood. The following are integral parts of the endocrine system:

A

endocrine system

70
Q

The ________ is located at the base of the brain, near
the optic chiasm where the optic nerves behind each eye cross and meet.

of hormones in the pituitary gland, in addition to controlling water balance,
sleep, temperature, appetite, and blood pressure

A

hypothalamus

71

important role in helping the body meet the demands of activity, exercise, and
stress. It also helps maintain body temperature, among other things

Q

. It fights invading germs in the blood (the spleen contains infectionfighting white blood cells) it controls the level of blood cells (white blood cells,
red blood cells and platelets) it filters the blood and removes any old or
damaged red blood cells.

74
Q

These tiny blood vessels have thin walls. Oxygen and

tissues. The capillaries also take waste products away from your tissues.
Capillaries are where oxygen and nutrients are exchanged for carbon dioxide
and waste

A

Capillaries

75
Q

______________ is the network of organs and tissues that help
you breathe. It includes your airways, lungs and blood vessels. The muscles
that power your lungs are also part of the respiratory system. These parts

gases like carbon dioxide.

Q

: Tiny air sacs in the lungs where the exchange of oxygen and carbon
dioxide takes place.

A

Alveoli

78
Q

The ___________ is a passive biological system that removes
excess, unnecessary materials from the body fluids of an organism, so as to
help maintain internal chemical homeostasis and prevent damage to the body.

A

excretory system

79
Q

The ______________ of an organism, also known as the genital
system, is the biological system made up of all the anatomical organs
