- diaphragm
- this is the thin membrane that separates the abdominal organs from the heart and lungs. it is stretched across entire body, attached just under bottom of the rib cage
- larynx
- place where your vocal cords are located, allowing you to speak
- bronchi
- two tubes that carry air into the two lungs
- trachea
- tube that is constructed like a vacuum cleaner hose. carries air down through the throat
- heart
- pumps blood through the body
- esophagus
- tube that carries bolus of food to stomach
- stomach
- churns food, adds acid, absorbs water, medicines, alcohol
- small intestine
- completes digestion of food by neutralizing stomach acid and absorbing food into the circulation
- large intestine
- absorbs water and vitamins
- liver
- makes bile to break up fat, stores glucose, destroys red blood corpuscles, destroys toxic chemicals
- pancreas
- produces insulin and digestive enzymes
- mouth
- chews food, produces saliva, arranges food into bolus
- epiglottis
- flap that covers the trachea
- order of respitory system
- nose, pharynx, epiglottis, larynx, trachea, bronchi, alucoli
- anus
- opening through which wastes leave the digestive tract
- kidney
- organ that removes urea, excess water, and other waste products from the blood and passes them to the ureter
- penis
- external male reproductive organ that connects the urethra to the outside of the body
- scrotum
- external sac containing the testes
- ureter
- tube that carries urine from the kidney to the urinary bladder
- urethra
- tube through which urine and semen are relased from the body
- urinary bladder
- saclike organ in which urine is stored before being excreted
- vagina
- canal in the human female that leads from the uterus to the outside of the body
- carotid artery
- main artery in the neck that supplies blood to the brain
- superior vena cava
- large vein that brings oxygen-poor blood from the upper part of the body to the right atrium
- pulmonary veins
- bring oxygen-rich blood from each of the lungs to the left atrium
- inferior vena cava
- vein that brings oxygen-poor blood from the lower part of the body to the right atrium
- dorsal aorta
- brings oxygen-rich blood from the left ventricle to the body
- pulmonary arteries
- bring oxygen-poor blood to the lungs
- left atrium
- upper chamber of the heart which recieves the blood from the body
- right atrium
- upper chamber of the heart which recieves the blood from the lungs
- left ventricle
- lower chamber of the heart which pumps blood to the body
- right ventricle
- lower chamber of the heart which pumps blood to the lungs
- ovary
- female reproductive gland that produces eggs
- testis
- male reproductive gland that produces sperm
- femoral artery
- large artery in the leg which supplies the leg with blood
- femoral vein
- large vein in the leg which pumps blood from the leg to the heart
- gall bladder
- a muscular sac under the liver that stores bile secreted by the liver until the body needs it for digestion
- hard palate
- bony plate of the skull in the top of the mouth which separates nasal passages and the mouth
- jugular veins
- veins in the neck that carry blood from the head to the heart
- lung
- two organs in the chest that supply the body with oxygen and remove carbon dioxide from the body
- nares
- channels of the nose/openings of the respitory system which air flows through to the trachea
- renal artery
- supplies the kidney and ureter with blood
- renal vein
- veins that return blood from kidneys to vena cava/heart
- soft palate
- soft tissue in the back of the roof of the mouth that closes off nasal passages during swallowing and separates oral cavity from the nose
- tongue
- muscle on the floor of the mouth that manipulates food for chewing and swallowing and assists in speech
- umbilical artery
- carries deoxygenated blood from the fetus to the placenta in the umbilical cord
- umbilical vein
- carries oxygenated blood from the placenta to the fetus in the umbilical cord
- urogenital opening
- opening that waste products and reproductive fluids come out
- urogenital papilla
- covers the urogenital opening in female pigs
- urogenital sinus
- part of the body while an embryo. formed after cloaca separates from rectum and eventually becomes several things including bladder
- uterine horn
- tube that connects to the uterus
- order of digestive system
- mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine (pancreas, liver, gall bladder), large intestine, rectum/anus
- order of excretory system
- renal arteries bring waste-laden blood to kidneys, ureter, urinary bladder, urethra/urogenital opening
- order of circulatory system
- heart, arteries carry away, veins carry to, left to body, right to lungs. from vena cavas deoxygenated blood goes to right atrium, goes into right ventricle, goes into pulmonary to lungs, oxygenated blood returns to left atrium via pulmonary, goes into left ventricle, blood goes into aorta and to body
- order of female reproductive system
- ovary, fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix, vagina
- order of male reproductive system
- epididymis, vas deferens, urethra, penis
