Exam 3 functions and important knowledge Flashcards
buccal papillae
sensory structures that allow lamprey to position
teeth on oral disk
cornified epidermis; not homologous with teeth on other veterbrates
rasping teeth on tongue
gorges hole in hosts body
naris (lamprey)
brings water into the oral cavity
“Esophagus” (lamprey )
anterior part of intestine (consider lack of regionalization)
dorsal opening of oral cavity
respiratory tube (lamprey)
posterior part of oral cavity. Water moves in pharynx and out pharyngeal slits
velum (lamprey)
flap that can close the pharynx
What structures on the gills stop food from escaping as water is pushed through pharyngeal slits.
branchial arch lamellae and gill rakers
spiracle
allows water to enter pharynx
function of the mouth and naris in cat
bring food, water, and air into the oral cavity.
what are the advantages of a heterodont dentition?
all teeth have a different function
Why is the soft palate soft? Why is the hard palate hard?
Bone; muscle
secondary palate (cat)
separates air coming in through the naris from the rest of the oral cavity
location of oropharynx (cat)
posterior section of oral cavity
how is the nasopharynx separated from the orophraynx?
soft palate
how is the oropharynx separated from the laryngopharynx?
epiglottis
epiglottis
- separates laryngopharynx from orapharynx
* may fold posteriorly to close off the trachea (ventral) while keeping esophagus (dorsal) open
respiratory tube (lamprey)
Blind sac (i.e. it goes back as far as the last pharyngeal slit and the terminates) Water passes through oral cavity and respiratory tube and out through pharyngeal slits.
How many pharyngeal slits does the lamprey have?
seven gill slits
why does the shark have fewer pharyngeal slits than lamprey
the first pair of gill slits have been modified into jaws
How does a lamprey deal with needing to breathe while feeding?
the velum closes off the respiratory tube and water is pulled in and pushed out through the pharyngeal slits
branchial basket
cartilagenous; supports lamprey’s respiratory structures.
location of interbranchial septa (shark)
lies between each pharyngeal slit
what are holobranch gills?
“complete gills” have lamellae on posterior and anterior surfaces
