What are the blood vessels associated with the heart chamber right atrium? What area of the body is the blood returning from? What is the valve associated with this chamber?
|
Blood vessels: superior/inferior venae cavae
Blood returning from: head and body Valve: right tricuspid (AV) valve |
|
What are the blood vessels associated with the heart chamber left atrium? What area of the body is the blood returning from? What is the valve associated with this chamber?
|
Blood vessels:
right/left pulmonary veins Blood returning from: lungs Valve: left bicuspid (mitral) (AV) valve |
|
What are the blood vessels associated with the heart chamber right ventricle? What area of the body is the blood returning from? What is the valve associated with this chamber?
|
Blood vessels: pulmonary trunk
Blood returning from: right atrium Blood traveling to: pulmonary trunk then heads diagonally to the right/left pulmonary arteries and finally to the lungs Valve: pulmonary (SL)valve |
|
What are the blood vessels associated with the heart chamber left ventricle? What area of the body is the blood returning from? What is the valve associated with this chamber?
|
Blood vessel: aorta
Blood returning from: left atrium Blood traveling to: aorta then heads to the aortic branch and finally to the systemic circuit Valve: aortic (SL) valve |
|
What are the arteries that come off of the aortic arch?
|
brachiocephalic artery, left subclavian artery, left common carotid artery
|
|
What are the unique features of human fetal circulation? Specifically the umbilical arteries and vein
|
1. oval opening(foramen ovale): an opening btwn the atria
2. Arterial duct (ductus arteriosus): a short, stout vessel leading directly from the pulmonary trunk to the aorta 3. umbilical arteries: take blood from the iliac arteries to the placenta 4. umbilical vein: returns blood from the placenta to the liver 5. venous duct(ductus venosus): a continuation of the umbilical vein that takes blood to the inferior vena cava |
|
External iliac vein
|
Vein of the lower extemity, abdomen, and pelvis
source: femoral veins drains to: common iliac vein artery: external iliac artery drains from: inferior epigastric veins(significance Hesselbach's triangle) |
|
Dorsal Aorta
|
artery of the upper body of the fetal pig. The aorta makes an arch and then continues as the dorsal aorta.
gives branches to the yolk-sac, and are continued backward through the body-stalk as the umbilical arteries to the villi of the chorion. Two dorsal aortae combine to become the desending aorta later in development |
|
Pulmonary Arch
|
In developing fetus ductus arteriosus is a shunt connecting the pulmonary artery to the aortic arch- this allows the blood from the right ventricle to bypass the fetus's fluid filled lungs. The shunt protects fetus's lungs from overworking/allows time for right ventricle to strengthen
|
|
Gallbladder
|
Function: Stores and releases bile which aids the digestion of fats.
Located: Embedded in the liver on the underside of the right lobe- Description:small greenish sac. Cooperating structures: Bile canals enter bile ducts that take bile away from each lobule of the liver for storage in the gallbladder |
|
Pyloris Sphincter Mucle
|
muscular valve connecting the stomach to the duodenum and regulating flow of materials out of the stomach
|
|
Parathyroids
|
def: parathyroid glands
are small endocrine in the neck located usually behind the thyroid gland produce: parathyroid hormone(PTH)Polypetide containing 84 amino acids. Importance: Acts to increase the concentration of calcium in the blood. Affects: BONE-Helps form new octyoclasts which ultimately enhances reabsorption of bone KIDNEY: enhances calcium reabsorption in distal tubes INTESTINE: enhances absorption of calcium by increasing production of Vit D High level of PTH in blood= Hyperparathyroidism |
|
Spleen
|
def: a lymphoid organ in the lymphatic system.
in body:long reddish organ attached to the stomach by mesentery Contains:white/red blood cells Function: Purifies blood/disposes of worn-out red blood cells |
|
Greater Omentum
|
stems from: dorsl mesentary(organs in abdomen attached to the abdominal wall) of the peritoneum
located: greater curvature from stomach and spleen. Contains: Adipose tissue Function: Drapes in front of the intestine like and apron acts as a insulating or protective layer. qualities: largest fold,double sheet of peitoneum=4 layers 2 layers descend stomach>commensment to deodenum>small intestine> ascend traverse colon-they seperate and enclose the intestine. |
|
Ovary
|
def: female reproductive organ
located: small bodies suspended from the peritoneal wall in mesenteries, posterior to kidneys. contain: follicles in various stages of maturation produces: (primary follicle)female sex hormones estrogen and progestrone(secondary follicle)oocyte(bursts from the ovary during ovulation. Graafian follicle(fluid-filled, vesicular follicle)which releases the egg during ovulation. function: produces eggs and sex hormones |
|
Kidney internal parts
|
def: organ that filters wastes
location: posterior part of the abdomen(adrenal gland sits on top of the kidney) description: reddish organ covered by peritoneum inside anatomy: renal pelvis(outermost portion), renal cortex(perpindicular to renal pelvis),renal medulla(deep to renal pelvis, nephrons(deep to medulla). Nephrons are excretory tubles. supporting anatomy: ureters, urinary bladder, urethra, ox+ enters renal artery, deox- exits renal vein |
|
Seminal vesicles
|
def: pair of simple tubular glands postinferior to the urinary bladder in males.
anatomy: ducts of seminal vesicles enter into the vas deferens as it enters the prostrate contains:protein, enzymes, fructose,mucus, Vit C,flavins, phosphorylcholine, and prostaglandins(high fructose concentration provide nutrients to spermatoza while traveling through female reproductive system) function: secretes 70% of fluid that becomes semen fluid excreted under symathetic contraction |
