Q

Leaf-shaped projection from the ventral margin of the glottis. Flap of cartilage above the glottis.
Seals off the trachea during food ingestion to prevent food from entering the lungs

A

Epiglottis

36

Q

Lateral to the true vocal cords and extend from the tips of the arytenoids to the base of the epiglottis
aka ventricular or vestibular folds
Can amplify and add additional resonance / texture

A

Thymus

52
Q

Decrease in size as organisms grow older

54
Q

Large vein, enclosed in the free dorsal margin of the caval fold, ascends from the liver to the heart. Carries blood from lower body parts to the right auricle

A

Postcaval vein

55
Q

the median dorsal line

A

Dorsal Aorta

56
Q

Transports blood from the aortic arches to the trunks and limbs

A

Dorsal Aorta

57
Q

Motor nerves of the diaphragm. Originate from the cervical nerves. Motor nerves of the diaphragm

A

58
Q

A muscular dome-shaped partition which separates the thoracic cavity from the abdominal cavity.

Takes origin from the ribs, sternum, and vertebrae, and is inserted on the central tendon
