Esophagus
The windpipe of the organism
Trachea
Contains vocal cords and helps makes sure food doesn’t go into the trachea
Larynx
What air goes through to reach the lungs
Trachea
Produces immune system cells
Thymus gland
Pumps blood throughout the body
Heart
carry air to and from lungs
Bronchi
helps breathing by making contractions which increase the volume of the thorax and inflates lungs.
Diaphragm
Carries air to and from lungs
Bronchi
Helps breakdown food and sends it to the small intestine
Stomach
Produces enzymes and helps breakdown substances to make sure blood flows well.
Liver
Contain immune cells for safe keeping
Greater omentum
Absorb nutrients and breakdown foods
Intestines
churns foods doing a lot of the digesting
Stomach
helps with breathing through increasing volume
Diaphragm
breakdowns substance enabling better blood flow
Liver
works along side with the Liver to create enzymes
Gall bladder
Fights germs in the blood
Spleen
controls and filters substances
Liver
helps along with the pancreas to create enzymes
Gall bladder
fights blood pathogens
Spleen
churns food and digest it
Stomach
filters bad substance out from your blood
Liver
Helps absorbs vitamins
Duodenum
does most digestion with acid
Stomach
creates enymes with the pancreas
Gallbladder
increases surface area which then increases digestion and absorption
Gastric rugae
helps produce enzymes that help digest food, especially protein
Pancreas
allows food to pass into small intestine
Pyloric sphincter
produces enzymes with the pancreas and gall bladder
Liver
where most digestion occurs
Stomach
allow food to go into small intestine.
Pyloric sphincter
Produces insulin
Pancreas
small organ usually connected to liver
Gall Bladder
helps break food down finely through a churning process with the help of its acid
Stomach
helps absorb nutrients for food and leads to rectum
Intestines
uses chemical and physical digestion to breakdown with acid
Stomach
one of the most important organs
Liver
drains deoxygenated blood from the upper body into the right atrium
Superior vena cava
pumps blood throughout the body
Heart
just like the superior version of it’s self except gets blood from the bottom half of the body
Inferior vena cava
receive oxygen poor blood and pumps it into the right ventricle
Right atrium
accepts the deoxygenated blood and shoots it to the lungs
Right Ventricle
drains deoxygenated blood from the upper body into the right atrium
Superior vena cava
just like the superior version of it’s self except gets blood from the bottom half of the body
Inferior vena cava
receives oxygen-rich blood and pumps it into left ventricle
Left Atrium
pumps the oxygenated blood throughout the body
Left ventricle
pumps the oxygenated blood throughout the body
Left Ventricle
Removes waste from the blood and makes urine.
Kidney
Toward the head/front
Cranial Anterior
Away from the back
Dorsal
Toward the point of attachment
Proximal
Toward the midline
Medial
Toward the tail/back
Caudal/Posterior
toward from the belly
Ventral
Away from point of attachment
Distal
Away from midline
Lateral
Line that goes down the center of the mink vertically
Midline
Plane that cuts through the middle of mink from left to right
Transverse Plane
Plane that Horizontally cuts down the middle of the mink
Frontal Plane
Plane that cuts through the middle of the mink from top to bottom
Sabittal Plane
