Location of the submandibular salivary gland
Along the mandible
Crown of an incisor or molar
The portion above the gums
Root of an incisor or molar
The portion that is in the gums of the mouth
Enamel of an incisor or molar
The outer portion of the tooth that is not only above the gum line but is a part of the tooth itself (white outer part) labeled #4 on both incisor and molar
Location of parotid salivary gland
& why (stenson’s duct)
Right below the ear
Open main menu
The parotid duct or Stensen duct is a duct and the route that saliva takes from the major salivary gland, the parotid gland into the mouth.
What is the pulp cavity of a tooth?
The pink park of the tooth that contains the nerves and is a very sensitive part of a tooth
Dentin of an incisor or molar
The slightly off white color of the tooth. Labeled #6 on both molar and incisor. Between the enamel and the pulp cavity
Pharynx & N.O.L.
After food leaves the mouth, it enters the pharynx. Nasopharynx, oropharynx, & laryngopharynx
Epiglottis
cartilage at the root of the tongue, which is depressed during swallowing to cover the opening of the windpipe.
Esophagus
The narrow tube posterior to the heart and the trachea in the thoracic cavity. Contracts via peristalsis (propels food into the stomach)
Gastroesophageal sphincter also called; cardiac sphincter and lower esophageal sphincter
Prevents the contents of the stomach from regurgitating into the esophagus
Rugae of the stomach
Interior folds of the stomach that allow it to expand considerably when filled with food.
The stomach region: fundus
The dome shaped region of the stomach
The stomach region: body
The middle of the stomach region
The stomach region: pyloric portion
The lower part of the stomach that is the leaving part.
Pyloric sphincter of the stomach
Separates the stomach from the initial portion of the small intestine.
Pancreatic duct
Comes together with the common bile duct to form the hepatopancreatic ampulla that flows into the small intestine
Cystic duct
Bile is ejected through this duct. And it joins with the common hepatic duct to form the common bile duct.
Left and right hepatic duct
Are in their lobes and then they come together to form the common hepatic duct.
Common hepatic duct
Formed by the left and right hepatic duct and then conjoins with cystic duct to make the common bile duct
The 4 lobes of the liver
Right, left, caudate and quadrate
Falciform ligament
Ligament that attaches the liver to the anterior (ventral) body wall.
Common bile duct
When the common hepatic duct and the cystic duct joins together to create this. And then empties into the duodenum
Duodenum of the small intestine
The initial portion of the small intestine. Measures 10 inches
Jejunum of the small intestine
The middle portion of the small intestine. Measure about 8 feet.
Ileum portion of the small intestine
The terminal end of the small intestine. Measures 12 feet long.
Mesentery
A fold of the peritoneum that attaches the stomach, small intestine, pancreas, spleen, and other organs to the posterior wall of the abdomen. Holds the intestine together
Hepatopancreatic ampulla
Where all the ducts combine and the end where it empties into the duodenum.
Ileocecal valve
valve that separates the small intestine and the large intestine. Its critical function is to limit the reflux of colonic contents into the ileum.
Vermiform appendix
A blind-ended sac that extends from the cecum and contains lymphatic nodules
Haustrum of the large intestine
Pouches along the large intestine
Tenia coli of the large intestine
The bands of longitudinal smooth muscle of the large intestine that pulls it into the pouches called the haustrum. (The middle of the large intestine)
Cecum of the large intestine
The pouch that receives contents from the ileum. Weird looking bottom portion of the ascending colon.
Ascending colon of the large intestine
Looking straight on; left straight part of the large intestine.
Right colic flexure of the large intestine
The curvature after the ascending colon (righter part of the body)
Transverse colon of the large intestine
The top flat portion of the large intestine. Proceeds the right colic flexure.
The _____ are two bean-shaped organs, each about the size of a fist. They are located just below the rib cage, one on each side of the spine. Every day, the two _____ filter about 120 to 150 quarts of blood to produce about 1 to 2 quarts of urine, composed of wastes and extra fluid.
Left and right kidneys
The innermost layer of connective tissue that encases each kidney like plastic wrap
Renal capsule
an indentation in the surface of a kidney, spleen, or other organ, where blood vessels, ducts, nerve fibers, etc., enter or leave it.
Hilum
The most superficial region, dark brown bc it consists of many blood vessels that serve the tiny blood filtering structures of the kidney
Renal cortex
The kidneys middle region. Consists of triangular sections known as ____ pyramids.
Renal medulla & renal pyramids
The medullary pyramids are separated from one another by inward extensions of the renal cortex
Renal columns
The ______ _______ is the location where the renal pyramids in the medulla empty urine into the minor calyx in the kidney. Histologically it is marked by medullary collecting ducts converging to form a papillary duct to channel the fluid.
Renal papillae
Minor calyces
The narrow area that drains into the major calyx
