Term Definition
Digestive system that contains the parotid & mandibular salivary glands
Salivary glands (parotid & mandibular) moistens food to make swallowing easier; contains antibacterial agents to kill pathogens; secrete amlyase for chemical breakdown of starch
Muscular system that contains the masseter muscle
Masseter muscle closes jaw; elevates mandible
Digestive system that contains the toungue / teeth
Teeth & tongue aid in mechanical digestion of carbs, lipids, proteins in oral cavity (alphabetic order, with an & between)
Digestive system containing the hard & soft palates
palates Form the roof of the mouth
hard palate palate that is composed of bone
soft palate palate that is a continuation of the mucous membranes
Respiratory system that contains the epiglottis
Epiglottis Covers trachea when we swallow to prevent food from entering the respiratory tract
Digestive system that contains the esophagus
Esophagus No digestion occurs here; tube that passes bolus from pharynx to stomach; smooth muscle contractions of this tube are called peristalsis
Digestive system that contains the stomach
Stomach Muscular sac that churns chyme (mechanical digestion of all macromolecules); secretes pepsin & HCL to facilitate chemical digestion of proteins
Digestive system that contains the small intestine
Duodenum completes the chemical digestion of carbs, lipids, proteins; chyme is neutralized
Jejunum / Illeum absorption of nutrients through villi and microvilli
Digestive system containing the large intestine
Large Intestine absorption of water; moves undigestible wastes into the rectum
Caecum First section of large intestine where the small intestine connects
Digestive system containing the rectum and anus
Rectum place where undigestible material is stored
Anus opening through which feces leaves the body
Digestive / Endocrine two body systems containing the pancreas (alphabetic order)
Pancreas has two functions. its digestive or exocrine function is to release Na+ bicarbonate into the duodenum to neutralize the chyme; and to produce lipase, amylase, and trypsin for the complete chemical breakdown of lipids, carbs, and proteins. The endocrine function is to regulate the blood glucose levels by releasing insulin (when blood sugar is high) and glucagon (when blood sugar is low)
Digestive system containing the gall bladder
Gall Bladder stores bile produced by the liver until it is needed in the duodenum
Digestive system containing the liver
Liver Detoxifies drugs, alcohol, poisons; produces bile for the mechanical breakdown of lipids; converts glucose into glycogen into glucose
Lymphatic system containing the spleen
Spleen Produces white blood cells; gets rid of old & worn out red blood cells
Oral cavity, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, anus the structures that make up the alimentary canal (in order)
No Is the digestive system considered a part of the excretory system?
Omnivore Classification of pig by diet
Incisors, molars, canines, pre-molars types of teeth that the pig has
Papillae small bumps on the surface of the tongue
taste buds contained in bumps on surface of the tongue
epithelial type of tissue that salivary glands are composed of
