The Urinary System: The urinary system is in charge of the formation and excretion of urine. The kidneys filter out waste products from the blood. These waste products, in combination with water, form urine. Urine passes out of the kidneys through two narrow, muscular tubes called ureters. The ureters empty the urine into the bladder, and the urine is then excreted from the body through a tube-like structure called the urethra.
Definiciones Digestivo:
1. A sack-like, muscular organ that is attached to the esophagus. Both chemical and mechanical digestion take place here. Stomach
2. The long, coiled mid-section of the small intestine; it is between the duodenum and the ileum. Jejunum
3. The flap at the back of the tongue that keeps chewed food from going down the windpipe to the lungs. Epiglottis
4. The opening at the end of the digestive system from which feces (waste) exit the body. Anal
5. An enzyme-producing gland located below the stomach and above the intestines. Pancreas
6. A small, sac-like organ located by the duodenum. It stores and releases bile (a digestive chemical produced in the liver) into the small intestine. Gall bladder
7. A digestive chemical that is produced in the liver, stored in the gall bladder, and secreted into the small intestine. Bile
8. A small sac located on the cecum. Appendix
9. The last part of the small intestine before the large intestine begins. Ileum
10. The first part of the large intestine. Cecum
11. A large organ located above and in front of the stomach. It filters toxins from the blood and makes bile (which breaks down fats) and some blood proteins. Liver
12. The first part of the small intestine; it is C-shaped and runs from the stomach to the jejunum. Duodenum
13. The long tube between the mouth and the stomach. It uses rhythmic muscle movements (peristalsis) to force food from the throat into the stomach. Esophagus
14. The lower part of the large intestine, where feces are stored before they are excreted. Rectum
Definiciones Muscular:
Joint – A point of articulation between two or more bones, especially such a connection that allows motion.
Ligament – A band or sheet of tough fibrous tissue connecting two or more bones, cartilage, or other muscles.
Articulation – The place of anatomical union, usually movable, between two or more bones.
What is the name of the topmost vertebra? Atlas
Definiciones Respiratorio:
Bronchial tree – The system of airways within the lungs, which bring air from the trachea to the lung’s tiny air sacs (alveoli).
Cardiac notch – The indentation in the left lung that provides room for the heart.
Diaphragm – A muscular membrane under the lungs.
Larynx – A muscular structure at the top of the trachea, containing the vocal cords.
Left inferior lobe – The bottom lobe of the lung on the left side of the body.
Left superior lobe – The top lobe of the lung on the left side of the body.
Right inferior lobe – The bottom lobe of the lung on the right side of the body.
Right middle lobe – The middle lobe of the lung on the right side of the body.
Right superior lobe – The top lobe of the lung on the right side of the body.
Trachea (windpipe) – The tube through which air travels from the larynx to the lungs.
Corazón:
Pulmonary valve – The flaps between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery. When the ventricle contracts, the valve opens, causing blood to rush into the pulmonary artery. When the ventricle relaxes, the valves close, preventing the back-flow of blood from the pulmonary artery to the right atrium.
Pulmonary vein – The blood vessel that carries oxygen-rich blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart.
Right atrium – The right upper chamber of the heart. It receives oxygen-poor blood from the body through the inferior vena cava and the superior vena cava.
Right ventricle – The right lower chamber of the heart. It pumps the blood into the pulmonary artery.
Septum – The muscular wall that separates the left and right sides of the heart.
Superior vena cava – A large vein that carries oxygen-poor blood to the right atrium from the upper parts of the body.
Tricuspid valve – The flaps between the right atrium and the right ventricle. It is composed of three leaf-like parts and prevents the back-flow of blood from the ventricle to the atrium.
