Definition

Endocrine System

Thyroid: 

a large ductless gland in the neck that secretes hormones regulating growth and development through the rate of metabolism.

Term

Definition

Circulatory System

Carotid Arteries (left and right): 

artery that supplies the head and neck with oxygenated blood

Internal jugular veins (left and right): 

collects blood from the brain and empties eventually into the heart

External jugular veins (left and right): 

empties into the subclavian vein (artery or vein that serves the neck and arm on the left or right side of the body)

Term

Definition

Skeletal System

Ribs: 

 protecting the thoracic cavity and its organs.

Term

Definition

Respiratory System

Lungs (left and right)

Diaphragm: 

dome-shaped, muscular partition separating the thorax from the abdomen in mammals and plays a large part in breathing

Term

Definition

Atria (left and right): thin-walled structure that allows blood to RETURN to the heart.

Ventricles (left and right):  a chamber of the heart that receives blood from an atrium and pumps it to the arteries

Coronary artery(RED): oxygenated blood; artery that branches from the aorta to supply blood to the heart

Cardiac vein (BLUE): blood flow in heart, DEoxygenated

Apex: tip or "tallest point" of heart

Term
[image]
Definition

Major arteries leaving the heart

Aorta (arch): 

supplying oxygenated blood to the circulatory system

Pulmonary trunk: 

rtery that carries venous blood from the right ventricle of the heart and divides into the right and left pulmonary arteries

Pulmonary arteries (left and right): 

that carry venous blood from the heart to the lungs
Pulmonary Vein:  blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart

Term
[image]
Definition

Major veins entering the heart

Anterior vena cava: 

large diameter, yet short vein that carries de-oxygenated blood from the upper half of the body to the heart's right atrium.

Posterior vena cava: large vein that carries de-oxygenated blood from the lower half of the body into the right atrium of the heart.

Digestive Sytem

Stomach: digestion organ

Pancreas: 

large elongated exocrine gland located behind the stomach; secretes pancreatic juice and insulin

Small intestine: 

structure serves to absorb nutrients from food.

Large intestine: 

receives liquid contents from the small intestine, absorbs water and electrolytes, forms waste matter with what is left

Circulatory System

Spleen: 

produces cells involved in immune responses

Term

Definition

Digestive Sytem

Liver: produces bile, stores waste, 

detoxification, protein synthesis, and production of biochemicals necessary for digestion

Gall bladder: 

muscular sac attached to the liver that stores bile (secreted by the liver) until it is needed for digestion

Bile duct: 

tube that carries bile from the liver to the gallbladder and then to the small intestine

Term

Definition

Excretory System

Kidney: 

filter wastes (especially urea) from the blood and excrete them and water in urine; 

Ureter:

tubes that carry urine from the kidney to the urinary bladder

Urinary bladder: 

membranous sac for temporary retention of urine

Term
[image]
Definition

Right external iliac artery (R. iliac artery on diagram): large artery in the pelvic region that carries blood to the lower limb.

Right femoral artery: chief artery of the thigh; a continuation of the external iliac artery

Right deep femoral artery: branch of the femoral artery

Right common iliac veins (R. iliac vein on diagram): drain blood from the pelvis and lower limbs.

Right external iliac vein: continuation of the femoral vein; unites with the internal iliac vein to form the common iliac vein

Term

Definition

Reproductive system - Male

Penis: 

male sexual organ for copulation and urination

Bulbourethral gland: secretes semen

Urethra: 

duct through which urine is discharged in most mammals and which serves as the male genital duct

Term
[image]
Definition

Reproductive system - Male

Testis: male sex gland that produces semen

Epididymus: 

stores sperm.

Term

Definition

Reproductive system - Male

Vas deferens: inside the spermatic cord; carries sperm from epididymis to urethra

Term

Definition

 

Reproductive system - Female

 

fallopian tubes: connects ovaries to uterus

 

uterus: accepts a fertilized egg

Ovary: female sex gland that produces eggs and secretes estrogen

Uterine horn: points where the uterus and fallopian tubes meet

Term

Definition

Reproductive system - Female

Uterus: reproductive organ that opens to cervix and fallopian tubes, accepts a fertilized egg

Vagina: leads from uterus to outside of body; used in reproduction, etc.
