Respiratory And Urogenital Systems Flashcards
A short passageway between the external nares and internal nares
Nasal/Olfactory canal
Posterior to the glottis
Larynx/Voice box
Formed and supported by two cartilaginous structures: a pair of arytenoid cartilage and cricoid cartilage
Glottis
Valve-like that guards the glottis and at the same time forms the dorsal roof of the larynx
Arytenoid cartilage
A ring-like cartilage that surrounds and supports the arytenoids
Cricoid cartilage
This is a pair of thin-walled, spongy sacs on the antero-lateral portion of the pleuro-peritoneal cavity
Lungs
A short vertical slit-like opening at the center of the laryngeal prominence
Epiglottis
These are paired, lobular, saccular organ on the ventral wall of the kidney
Ovaries
These are convoluted, long white tubes on each side of the ovary which lies close to the abdominal wall
Oviducts/Mullerian ducts
Anterior funnel-shaped mouth of the oviducts which serves as the entrance of eggs
Ostium
These are yellowish finger-like structures at the anterior level of the kidney and attached to the ovary. They store reserve food especially during breeding season
Corpora adiposa/Fat bodies
A pair of elongated, yellowish structures on the ventral surface of the kidney
Testes
These are very small slender tubules lying on the mesochorium
Vas efferrentia
The term given to the mesonephric duct which is also used for the passage of sperm
Vasa deferentia/Vas deferens
A pair of slender, white, wavy tubes, one along each side of the mesonephric duct which join posteriorly
Vestigial oviducts
