Location of sublingual salivary gland
Underneath the tongue
Location of the submandibular salivary gland
Along the mandible
Crown of an incisor or molar
The portion above the gums
Root of an incisor or molar
The portion that is in the gums of the mouth
Enamel of an incisor or molar
The outer portion of the tooth that is not only above the gum line but is a part of the tooth itself (white outer part) labeled #4 on both incisor and molar
Location of parotid salivary gland
& why (stenson’s duct)
Right below the ear
Open main menu
The parotid duct or Stensen duct is a duct and the route that saliva takes from the major salivary gland, the parotid gland into the mouth.
What is the pulp cavity of a tooth?
The pink park of the tooth that contains the nerves and is a very sensitive part of a tooth
Dentin of an incisor or molar
The slightly off white color of the tooth. Labeled #6 on both molar and incisor. Between the enamel and the pulp cavity
Pharynx & N.O.L.
After food leaves the mouth, it enters the pharynx. Nasopharynx, oropharynx, & laryngopharynx
Epiglottis

The stomach region: pyloric portion
The lower part of the stomach that is the leaving part.
Pyloric sphincter of the stomach
Separates the stomach from the initial portion of the small intestine.
Pancreatic duct
Comes together with the common bile duct to form the hepatopancreatic ampulla that flows into the small intestine
Cystic duct
Bile is ejected through this duct. And it joins with the common hepatic duct to form the common bile duct.
Left and right hepatic duct
Are in their lobes and then they come together to form the common hepatic duct.
Common hepatic duct
Formed by the left and right hepatic duct and then conjoins with cystic duct to make the common bile duct
The 4 lobes of the liver
Right, left, caudate and quadrate
Falciform ligament
Ligament that attaches the liver to the anterior (ventral) body wall.
Common bile duct
When the common hepatic duct and the cystic duct joins together to create this. And then empties into the duodenum
