What is a rasp?
Prominent feature in the mouth, located at the anterior end of a long, cartilage-supported tongue.
(lamprey)
Pharynx divides into..? (2)
lamprey
- Dorsal esophagus
2. Ventral respiratory tube
What is a velum?
Flap of tissue that will close off the respiratory tube
lamprey
Internal gill slits lead from ____ to ___?
Lead from the respiratory tube to the gill pouches
What happens in the gill pouches?
lamprey
In the gill pouches, O2 exchange occurs across the gill lamellae.
Lampreys have external gill pouches.
True or False?
False.
Lampreys have external gill slits.
True or False?
True.
What is the lamprey nostril connected to?
Hint: internally
It is connected to the olfactory sac, which is connected to the hypophyseal pouch.
What is the olfactory sac connected to? (Lamprey)
The olfactory sac is connected to the nostril (externally) and the hypophyseal pouch (internally).
What is the function of a hypophyseal pouch?
Pouch acts like a pipette bulb to draw water through the nostril and into the olfactory sac.
(lamprey)
What is the respiratory system flow of a lamprey?
Water –> into mouth –> velum –> respiratory tube –> internal slits –> gill pouches –> out of external slits
A lamprey has a stomach. True or False?
How does digestive waste then leave the body?
False. food travels caudally from the esophagus directly into the intestine.
It leaves through the anus, located in the cloaca.
A lamprey has a large liver. True or False?
True.
What are the parts of a heart (of lamprey, perch, shark)? What kind of a circulatory system is it?
- Medial sinus venosus
- Atrium (sac-like)
- Ventricle (muscular)
- Conus Arteriosus
It is a single circuit circulatory system.
*Note: From conus arteriosus to ventral aorta.
What are the internal gills? (sharks)
Internal gills are the respiratory organs of sharks.
How many pairs of internal gill slits are there?
5 pairs.
What are gill rakers? What is their function?
Gill rakers are small projections towards the openings of internal gill slits. They prevent large food particles from entering the gills.
In sharks, gills are found of each side of an ___________.
In sharks, gills are found of each side of an interbranchial septum.
In sharks, where is the site of gas exchange located?
In sharks, the actual site of gas exchange is the secondary lamellae, which are perpendicular to the primary lamellae.
Note that primary lamellae are attached to the septum.
What is the pleuroperitoneal cavity and where is it located?
The pleuroperitoneal cavity is the portion of the coelom, it is the space surrounding the heart.
What is the difference between the pleuroperitoneal cavity and the pericardial cavity?
They are both parts of the coelom surrounding the heart, but the pericardial cavity is located by the transverse septum.
What are rugae (sharks) and where are they located?
Rugae are longitudinal folds which line the stomach.
The shark esophagus is lined with small projections called esophageal _________.
The shark esophagus is lined with small projections called esophageal papillae.
Give a flow chart of a shark digestive system.
Mouth –> pharynx –> esophagus –> stomach –> duodenum (receives bile from gall bladder & digestive enzymes from pancreas) –> ileum (spiral valve) –> colon –> rectum –> anus –> cloaca
