2. Mink Prelab Safety first! RESPECT the Mink External Anatomy
Clean up is crucial!

4. Mink Body Systems
Homeostasis: regulation of an organism's internal environment to maintain conditions needed for life regardless of external environment

5. Neck & Thoracic Cavity

6. Respiratory System Continuous exchange of gases for the body
Increases respirations during exercise to allow more oxygen into blood stream
Gets rid of carbon dioxide waste from blood stream

7. Cardiovascular System
Continuous and controlled movement of blood through all systems that carries nutrients and essential materials for life as waste products are removed
Pumps at a constant rate to keep blood pressure normal
Heart pumps faster to bring more oxygen to muscles when exercising

30. Abdominal Cavity

31. Digestive System
Breaks down food and absorbs nutrients that can be used by the body
Liver releases glucose in between eating meals to keep blood glucose levels constant
Pancreas releases hormones to regulate glucose levels in blood
Small intestine absorbs nutrients from food specifically glucose for cellular respiration

32. Excretory System Gets rid of waste
Sweat helps to cool body during exercise
Kidneys filter blood to remove waste products

33. Nervous System
Homeostasis-controls and regulates other parts of the body
Body temperature starts to drop then nervous system increases body temperature
Regulates heart rate and respirations
