o blind projection located at the junction of the ileum and colon that serves as a sac
where fermentation of cellulose occurs.
o canal through which digestive enzymes produced by the pancreas are transported to
the duodenum.
o connective membrane that suspends body organs in the abdominal cavity and holds
them together.
o distal end of the intestinal tract; primary function is to reabsorb water and produce
dry, concentrated feces.
o ductless, vascular organ in the abdominal cavity that is a component of the
circulatory system; stores blood, recycles worn-out red blood cells and produces
lymphocytes.
o finger-like projections that increase the surface area of the small intestine and
increase absorption of vitamins
o first portion of the small intestine; function primarily in final stages of chemical
digestion and begins the process of nutrient absorption.
o granular organ located along the left margin of the duodenum and the caudal
margin of the stomach; produces digestive enzymes and a variety of hormones.
o large U-shaped digestive reservoir for food. Chemicals are secreted by its walls
which break down the food into microscopic particles that may be absorbed by the
cells of the intestines.
o large, multi-lobed organ of the abdominal cavity located just caudal to the
diaphragm; secretes bile, filters toxins and nutrients from the blood and stores
sugars.
o larger tubular structure that receives the liquid waste products of digestion,
reabsorbs water and minerals, and forms and stores feces for defecation.
o middle portion of the small intestine extending from the duodenum to the ileum;
primarily responsible for nutrient absorption.
o muscular passageway connecting the mouth and oral cavity to the stomach.
o muscular sheet separating the thoracic and abdominal cavities; used to ventilate the
lungs of mammals.
o organ located on the underside of the liver which stores bile and releases it into the
duodenum.
o regulates the flow of food from the stomach to the small intestine
o responsible for most chemical digestion and absorption of nutrients
o ridges and folds of the inner wall of the stomach which increase the surface area of
the stomach lining and provide texture for the manipulation of food as it is broken
down.
o tubule that transports bile from the gallbladder into the common bile duct.
o tubule through which bile is transported from the liver to the gallbladder and from the
gallbladder to the duodenum.
