Test 3 Flashcards
dorsal vs ventral
back vs belly
Dorsal: toward the back of the body
Ventral: toward the underside of the body
anterior/cranial vs posterior/caudal
head vs tail
Anterior/cranial: toward the head end of the body
Posterior/caudal: toward the tail end of the body
proximal vs distal
distance to the trunk
proximal: closer to the trunk
distal: farther from the trunk
superficial vs deep
outer or inner layer
superficial: closer to body surface
deep: lying underneath the surface
cranial region
head area
thoracic region
trunk area
caudal/abdominal region
tail area
oral cavity
space behind the teeth/gums
nasophaynx
part of your pharynx (throat) at the top that leads to external nares (nostrils)
glottis
opening to the larynx, trachea, and lungs
epiglottis
flap that covers glottis when swallowing food. can open/close glottis
esophagus
smooth muscle tube that carries food from mouth to stomach
stomach
digests food
the 3 organs that aid the stomach in digestion are
the liver, gallbladder and pancreas
liver
filters out toxins from the blood and produces bile
gallbladder
stores bile and contains bile salts that help break down fats
pancreas
produces digestive enzymes and hormones that aid in digestion
small intestines
break down and absorb nutrients
large intestine/colon
absorbs water
digestive system pathway
oral cavity to esophagus to stomach to small intestine to large intestine
purpose of circulatory/cardiovascular system
to transport nutrients and oxygen to and from cells through the blood
production of blood cells occurs in the
bone marrow (mostly) and some in spleen
spleen
stores blood cells until they are needed
pericardial membrane
surrounds and protects the heart
4 chambers of the heart
right atrium, left atrium, right ventricle, left ventricle
atriums
collect blood
ventricles
pump blood out. so they are v muscular which allows them to do so
coronary arteries
the heart supplies itself with oxygenated blood through the coronary arteries
valves
prevent the backflow of blood
tricuspid valve
between the right atrium and the right ventricle. prevents blood from flowing back to the right ventricle.
bicuspid valve
between the left atrium and left ventricle. prevents blood from flowing back to the left atrium.
pulmonary semilunar valve
between the right ventricle and the pulmonary trunk. prevents blood from flowing back to the right ventricle
aortic semilunar valve
between the left ventricle and the aorta, prevents blood from flowing back to the left ventricle
arteries carry blood __ the heart ____
away from the heart to tissues throughout the body
veins carry blood __ the heart _______
to the heart from the body’s tissues
capillaries
exchange items of transport between vessels and tissues (i.e. lung capillaries, small intestine capillaries, kidney capillaries.)
the circulatory system is divided into ___ circuits. they are:
2 circuits: the pulmonary circuit (involves blood flow between the heart and the lungs) and the systemic circuit (involves blood flow between the heart and tissues throughout the body)
passageway of blood through the circulatory system
The RIGHT ATRIA collects deoxygenated blood and sends it to the RIGHT VENTRICLE, which pumps the deoxygenated blood to the PULMONARY TRUNK, which passes the deoxygenated blood to the PULMONARY ARTERIES, which passes the deoxygenated blood to the LUNG CAPILLARIES, which exchanges oxygen from the cells in the lungs into the blood, forming oxygenated blood. The PULMONARY VEINS pass the oxygenated blood to the LEFT ATRIA, which collects the oxygenated blood and sends it to the LEFT VENTRICLE, which pumps the oxygenated blood to the AORTA, the largest artery, which passes the oxygenated blood to arteries throughout the body, which pass the oxygenated blood to the TISSUE CAPILLARIES, which exchange oxygen from the blood into the tissues, leaving the blood deoxygenated. Veins pass the deoxygenated blood to the CRANIAL AND CAUDAL VENA CAVA, the largest veins, which pass the deoxygenated blood to the RIGHT ATRIA
braciocephalic trunk
first main branch off of the aorta which splits into 2 arteries: the right subclavian artery (carries blood to right arm and right upper body) and the carotid trunk which leads into the left and right common carotid arteries (carry blood to head and brain)
left subclavian artery
branches off the aortic arch, carries blood to the left upper part of the body
celiac artery
passes blood to the stomach, pancreas and spleen
cranial mesenteric artery
passes blood to the small intestines
