18
Q

thymus gland

A

partially covering heart

19
Q

four chambers of the heart

A

right atrium and left atrium on top, collect blood as it enters the heart
lower chambers, right ventricle and left ventricle, pump blood to the lungs and other body parts

20
Q

anterior vena cava and posterior vena cava

A

two large veins that enter the right atrium on the dorsal surface
return blood to the heart from the anterior and posterior parts of the body

21
Q

pulmonary veins

A

return blood from the lungs to the heart

22
Q

pulmonary artery

A

leaves the right ventricle to carry blood to the lungs

23
Q

aorta

A

under the thymus

this large artery carries blood from the left ventricle to the rest of the body

24
Q

ductus arteriosus

A

short vessel connecting the pulmonary artery to the aorta

allows blood to bypass the lungs before birth

25
Q

coronary arteries and coronary veins

A

on the surface of the heart

26
Q

trachea

A

windpipe
neck region
branches into each lung
anterior end of the trachea is enlarged

27
Q

larynx

A

voicebox

contains the pigs vocal chords

28
Q

thyroid gland

A

reddish
lying posterior to the larynx
this gland produces hormones that regulate metabolism

29
Q

pharynx

A

passageway leading to the trachea and esophagus

30
Q

glottis

A

opening through which air enters the larynx

31
Q

epiglottis

A

small flap of cartilage that covers the emtrance to the glottis

32
Q

renal arteries and renal veins

A

arteries branch off the aorta and bring blood to the kidneys
veins lie below the renal arteries they carry blood from the kidneys to the posterior vena cava, which in turn brings blood back to the heart

33
Q

ureter

A

whitish tube leading from the concave side of each kidney

carry urine from the kidneys to the urinary bladder

34
Q

urinary bladder

A

urine is temporarily stored

located in the flap containing the umbilical cord

35
Q

urethra

A

urine is then carried from the bladder to the urogenital opening by a tune called the urethra

36
Q

ovaries

A

yellowish white

lying posterior to the kidneys

37
Q

fallopian tubes (oviducts)

A

leading from each ovary

in the adult female, eggs break through the ovary wall and ent the oviducts

38
Q

common uterus

A

trace the oviducts to this

at the base of the common uterus there is a construction called the cervix

39
Q

vagina

A

posterior to the cervix

the vagina leads to the urogenital opening

40
Q

scrotal sacs

A

during the late stages of development the testes descen into these savs

41
Q

inguinal canal

A

if the testis has not yet descended, it will be found in the abdominal cavity in a tube called the inguinal canal

42
Q

epididymis

A

sperm cells produced in the testes pass into the epididymus, a coiled tubule attached to the testes

43
Q

vas deferens

A

the epididymus traces it through the inguinal canal wh it becomes the vas deferens
notice that the vas deferns loops over the ureters and enters the urethra
