Reproductive/Urinary Lab Flashcards
Penis
male reproductive organ that releases sperm and urine
Kidney
organ in the urinary system that filters blood; removes wastes from the blood; balances water in the body; waste and water come together to form urine
Renal Cortex
outer portion of the kidney, between renal medulla and renal capsule
Trachea
the windpipe; respiratory tube that connects the larynx to the lungs; air travels into and out of this tube
Tracheal Rings
comprised of hyaline cartilage that supports the trachea
Renal Medulla
innermost portion of the kidney; contains series of renal pyramids
Nephrons
functional units of the kidney; regulate water; filter blood producing urine
Left and Right Bronchi
singular-bronchus; trachea branches off into the right and left bronchi; each bronchus will continue to branch off into smaller and smaller tubes as you proceed into the lungs
Renal Pelvis
urine will collect in this area after it is produced; renal pelvis is connected to the ureters
Bronchioles
smaller tubes connected to the bronchus to the alveoli
Urethra
tube that carries from bladder to outside of the body
Vagina
canal that connects uterine body to outside of the body
Alveoli
structure in the lungs where gas exchange occurs
What lobes are in the right lung and the left lung?
Right- cranial, medial, and caudal lobes
Left- apical, caudal lobes
Right and Left Lung
main organ for respiration; gas exchange occurs in this organ; inhalation of oxygen and exhalation of carbon dioxide
