Alimentary Canal Alimentary canal – Digestive system that includes the mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, intestines, and anus About 30 feet in length
5
Alimentary Canal Hard and soft palates – Separate the oral cavity from the nasal cavity
6
Alimentary Canal Epiglottis – cartilaginous structure that protects the superior opening of the larynx When food is swallowed, the larynx is pulled upward and the epiglottis blocks the larynx Breathing stops when swallowing occurs
7
Alimentary Canal Esophagus – Long muscular tube that connects the pharynx to the stomach
8
Alimentary Canal Stomach – Holds and digests food Muscular walls contract and churn food with hydrochloric acid that break down proteins
9
Alimentary Canal Small intestines – Absorbs approximately 90% of nutrients and water Duodenum – the first portion of the small intestine
10
Alimentary Canal Jejunum – the long, coiled middle portion of the small intestine Ileum – the final portion of the small intestine
11
Alimentary Canal Large intestines – Absorb the remaining nutrients and water from indigestible foods, compacts the remaining matter, and eliminates it as feces
12
Accessory Organs Accessory organs aid in digestion Liver – the body’s largest gland; detoxifies the blood and produces bile Bile – used to break down fats
13
Accessory Organs Gallbladder - green muscular sac that hangs from the liver; collects, stores, and concentrates bile from the liver
14
Accessory Organs Pancreas – produces insulin and enzymes that aid in digestion Insulin – helps regulate the amount of sugar in the blood
15
Cardiovascular System
17
Sensory Organ: Eye
18
Internal Anatomy of the Eye The eyeball is consisted of three tunics (coats) Sclera – outer tunic (white of the eye) Choroid – middle tunic (has a dark pigment that prevents light from escaping the eye) Retina – inner tunic (has photoreceptors called rods and cones)
19
Internal Anatomy of the Eye Sclera Choroid Retina
20
Internal Anatomy of the Eye Cornea – Clear membrane that forms the front of the eye Iris – pigmented portion of the eye Pupil – The expanding and contracting opening in the iris through which light passes to the retina Pupil Cornea Iris
21
Internal Anatomy of the Eye Lens – Allows light to reach the retina to focus an image Lens Suspensory ligaments
22
Respiratory System
24
Glottis
25
Urinary System
26
Kidney – Forms and excretes urine Ureter – Tube that connects a kidney to a bladder Bladder – Stores urine
