What divides the ventral body cavity into the cranial throacic cavity and the caudal abdominal cavity?
the stomach
This tissue is composed of a variety of nonliving intercellular substances?
connective
This tissue transmits information around the body and controls body functions
nervous
If the body is to maintain homeostasis, the following must be operating normally
fluid balance, hormone levels, acid-base balance
The entire animal body is made up of this many basic tissues
4 - Epthelial, connective tissue, muscle tissue, nervous tissue
The word that means toward the nose is..?
rostral

Smooth muscles move the bones of the skeletan and are under conscious control.
false - GI tract food - unconscious control
What layer of skin provides nutrition to the epidermis
dermis
Cells in this layer begin to fill with keratohyaline and lamellated granules that lead to the degeneration of nuclei and other organelles and ultimate cell death
stratum granulosum
These are found in the papillary layer of the dermis
blood vessels, nerve endings, temperature-sensitive receptors
These glands are found in the paw pads of many animals:
eccrine sweat glands
These hairs have a large blood sinus in the connective tissue portion of the follicle
whiskers
The corium of a claw and hoof is characterized by.
a rich supply of nerves and bloo
d vessels and a firm attachment to the periosteum of the distal phalanx
In adult horned animals, the horn is hollow and communicates directly with the…
frontal sinus

Which of the following describe insulin
It is a hormone produced by beta cells inthe pancreas
Its job is to move glucose from blood into the body’s tissue

What carries bile acids from the gallbladder to the common bile duct?
cystic duct
What disease is characterized by decreased movement of ingesta in the intestines
Ileus
