Practical #1 Flashcards
Erythrocytes appearance
non-nucleated cells shaped like biconcave disks
What is the function of erythrocytes?
transport oxygen from the lungs to the tissues, and some carbon dioxide from
the tissues to the lungs
Plasma makes up what percentage of blood?
about 55% of the blood
Composition of plasma
- about 91.5% water the
- remaining portion is composed of proteins and solutes, which include gases and electrolytes
What are the granulocytes?
- neutrophils
- basophils
- eosinophils
What are the agranulocytes?
- lymphocytes
- monocytes
Neutrophils apperance
- has multiple deeply staining lobes
- cytoplasm is pale with fine granules
Neutrophils function
destroy bacteria
Eosinophils appearance
- two darkly stained lobes connected by thin strand
- large granules that stain red-orange
Eosinophils function
Phagocytize antibody-antigen complexes and
attack parasitic worms
Basophils appearance
- two difficult to see lobes
- dense blue stained granules
Basophils function
Aid in inflammation by releasing histamines
Lymphocytes appearance
- round oval nucleus that fills cytoplasm
- dark blue to purple nucleus
- light blue cytoplasm
Lymphocytes function
Involved in specific disease resistance and
includes B-cells; T-cells; and natural killer
cells
Monocytes appearance
- kidney-bean or horse shoe shaped nucleus
- darkly staining nucleus
- abundant pale blue cytoplasm
Monocytes function
Develop into phagocytic macrophages

Sphygmomanometer
an instrument for measuring blood pressure
How to calculates pulse pressure?
systolic pressure - diastolic pressure
Blood pressure numbers
systolic over diastolic
Define systolic
the maximum pressure the heart exerts while beating
Define diastolic
is the amount of pressure in the arteries between beats
Precava and Postacava
These are two large veins that enter the right
atrium and carry unoxygenated blood from
the superior and inferior body, respectively.
Aortic arch and aorta
This is the largest elastic artery in the body
and carries oxygenated blood to the body
Pulmonary veins
These veins carry oxygenated blood from
the lungs to the left atrium
Pulmonary arteries
These arteries carry unoxygenated blood
from the right ventricle to the lungs.
Right atrium
This is the first chamber of the heart; it
receives unoxygenated blood from the
body.
Right ventricle
This is the second chamber of the heart; it
pumps blood to the lungs
Left atrium
This is the third chamber of the heart; it
receives oxygenated blood from the lungs.
Left ventricle
This is the fourth chamber of the heart; it
pumps oxygenated blood to the body
Tricuspid or right atrioventricular valve
This valve separates the right atrium and
ventricle. It prevents backflow into the
atrium.
Bicuspid, mitral, or left atrioventricular valve
This valve separates the left atrium and
ventricle. It prevents backflow into the
atrium.
Pulmonary semilunar valve
This valve separates the pulmonary trunk
from the right ventricle and prevents
backflow into the ventricle.
Aortic semilunar valve
This valve separates the aortic arch from the
left ventricle and prevents backflow into the
ventricle.
Papillary muscles
The papillary muscles are muscles that
control the tricuspid and bicuspid valves
and are located within the ventricles.
Chordae tendineae
The chordae tendineae “heart strings” attach
the valves to the papillary muscles and
prevent inversion of the valves during
contraction.
Coronary arteries and veins
These are the vessels located on and in the
actual myocardium or heart muscle. They
supply and drain the myocardium of blood,
respectively
What is the pathway of blood through the heart?
blood, low in O2 returns from body via the vena cavae (2 veins)
Right atrium
Tricuspid valve
Right ventricle
Pulmonary semilunar valve
Pulmonary trunk/arteries
Lungs to pick up O2 and release CO2
Pulmonary vein
Left atrium
Bicuspid valve
Left ventricle
Aortic semilunar valve
Aorta
Eyelid
Pigs are born with closed eyelids
Pinna
The external earflap. It gathers sound and
directs it into the external auditory canal.
External nares
The exterior openings of the nose used for
breathing and the sense of smell. Pigs have a
well-developed sense of smell.
Vibrissae
The long, stiff hairs on the head, commonly
called whiskers. Their function is touch.
Digits
These are the toes and hooves.
Mammary papilla
There are five to six pairs of these structures
present in both sexes, but only develop into
the mammary glands in females
Umbilical cord
Contains the two umbilical arteries and one
umbilical vein.
Umbilical cord function
The vessels within the cord are responsible for nutrient, gas, and waste
exchange between the fetus and maternal
placenta.
Genital papilla
The female’s external genitalia.
Urogenital opening
The opening that is the terminal end of the
male urogenital tract.
Scrotum
A sac of skin containing the male’s testes.
Anus
The terminal opening of the digestive tract.
Mandibular gland shape
This salivary gland has a “lima bean” shape.
Mandibular gland location
It lies partially ventral to the parotid gland,
and between the parotid and the angle of
the jaw.
- It is also called the “submaxillary
gland.
”
Sublingual gland shape
This salivary gland is narrow and flat.
