Support structure typically lost in
Vertebrates but is retained in the
lamprey
Large 2 chambered structure that
moves blood through the body
Single lobed triangular structure
that makes bile that is used in
digestion; green in color
Thin cavity that connects the
mouth to the esophagus; food
passes through
Structure that store bile
Long narrow tube; both digestions
and absorption of nutrients occurs
here
Structure responsible for
controlling salt concentrations in
the body
Area located between the pharynx
and the intestine; food passes
through
Flap of tissue near the pharynx
that prevents the backflow of
water from the gills
Found only in the ammocoetes structure found on the floor of the
pharynx; secretes mucous used to
capture tiny food particles
Structure that transports bile from
the liver to the intestine; bile is
used in digestion
One of the chambers of the heart
that holds oxygenated blood
One of the chambers of the heart
that pumps oxygenated blood
Opening of the lamprey that lacks
jaws; lined with oral papillae and
contains horny teeth
Tiny structures that line the buccal
funnel; sensory in nature - act as a
gasket to create a air tight seal
when feeding
Unpigmented patch of skin on the
anterior dorsal region; biological
clock able to detect light and
seasonal changes
Series of small pores on the side of
the body lead to this structure; tiny
pits that detect changes in water
currents
Structure used to remove oxygen
from water; respiration - 7 pairs
Located on the dorsal side of the
body; used to keep the organism
stable (upright) when swimming ; 2
Posterior end of the organism; this
structure is used for propulsion
Protrusible structure attached to
the ventral surface of the mouth;
used when feeding
This ventral opening anterior to
the tail; waste is removal
Reproductive cells
Female - eggs
Male - sperm
Muscles bundles often W-shaped
