what are the fins in a dogfish
two dorsal, one pair of pectoral, one pair of pelvic, and a caudal fin that forms the heterocercal tail
word for nostrils on dogfish
nares
what do the nares allow for in a dogfish
allow water to flow over the olfactory sac to allow for the dogfish to smell odors in the water
how does water enter the dogfish
through the mouth and the spiracle
what are the ampullae of lorenzini in the dogfish
fluid filled pits that sense both the depth (pressure) and low level electric stimuli (dark pin holes in the skin)
what does the lateral line in the dogfish do
sense vibrations and movements in the water
what is the cloaca in the dogfish
chamber between the pelvic fins. receives feces and urine as well as the products of the reproductive systems.
what is the opening of the cloaca in dogfish
cloacal vent
what is dioecious
testes and sperm are males, ovaries and eggs are female. this doesnt change over their lifetime
what are claspers in the dogfish
found on male dogfish. male will insert them into the females.
what is the auditory meatus in the pigeon
part of the external ear that is covered by feathers

tail feathers project out of the uropygium, most posterior part of the body
what is on the ventral side of the uropygium in the pigeon
cloaca
what does the uropygial gland do on the pigeon
secretes oil, looks like bump with opening
what does the double pouch on the rat hold
pouch is called the scrotum, it contains the testes
in female rats what do they have under the lines of nipples
mammary gland
smooth muscle
usually develops from splanchnic hypomere mesoderm or embryonic mesenchyme.
forms visceral or involuntary muscles of structures like blood vessles and the gut.
smooth muscle has single nucleus, and are not striated.
skeletal muscle
sometimes called striated muscle. striped appearance. derived from myotome epimere mesoderm. usually voluntary muscle cells have many nuclei, are long, cylindrical, and unbranched
cardiac muscle
only found in the heart.
derived from splanchnic hypomere mesoderm
striated, each cell has one nucleus, cells are branched
are linked by intercalated discs
abductors
move away from ventral line of body
adductors
move towards ventral midline of body
flexors
reduces the angle between two body parts
extensors
increase angle btwn two body parts
protractors
move limb forward (toward anterior)
retractor
move limb backward (towards posterior)
