The following highlighted structure represents strands of connective tissue called the ___ the of the breast which extend between the skin and deep fascia and support the breast naturally.
Suspensory Ligament
What role does the highlighted organ (green) play in digestion?
The digestive functions of the gallbladder are to store and concentrate bile until it is needed in the small intestine.
1. What is the name of the region outlined by the black dotted triangle? 2. What is its significance? Be sure to mention: what its openings are for and why it has a smooth appearance
The floor of the urinary bladder has a small triangular area called the trigone. The posterior corners contain the two ureteral openings. The anterior comer contains the internal urethral orifice. Because its mucosa is firmly bound to the muscularis, the trigone has a smooth appearance. It also lacks rugae, which can be found in the remainder of the posterior wall of the bladder.
Identify the function of the highlighted organs. Make sure to include what is produced and the hormones produced/secreted
The ovaries are the female gonads that produce oocytes as well as the following hormones: estrogens, progesterone, inhibin and relaxin.
1. Is the green structure a cortical nephron or juxtamedullary nephron? 2. How do you know?
This is a juxtamedullary nephron. These usually have their glomerulus deep in the cortex, close to the medulla, and its long loop of Henle penetrates deeply into the medulla. In contrast, cortical nephrons usually have their glomerulus in the outer part of the cortex, and its short loop of Henle penetrates only into the outer region of the medulla.
1. What is this specific region of the indicated organ called? 2. How do you know it is this region?
This is the cecum- the first portion of the large intestine, An easy way to identify the cecum is by noticing the appendix extending off of it.
The highlighted region is known as the areola. T/F
True
This region is known as the renal cortex. T/F
True

cervix (of the uterus)
In the figure shown, what is the function of the indicated modification of the muscularis layer of the stomach?
churning and mixing
In the figure shown, what structure is indicated?
cystic duct
What is the area of the tooth labeled with the arrow?
dentin
In the figure shown, what structures are indicated?
haustra

1. Name the highlighted structures. 2. What do they secrete? Be as detailed as possible. 3. Where are its secretions dumped into?
two semical vesicles of seminal glands: 1. They convoluted, pouch -like structures located posterior to and at the base of the urinary bladder and anterior to the rectum. 2. They alkaline, viscous fluid (to combat the acidity of the female reproductive tract) wat contains fructose (serves as an energy source for sperm), prostaglandins , and clotting proteins (to ensure that the sperm do not exit the female reproductive tract) 3. This fluid is injected via two ducts into the two ejaculatory ducts, and it accounts for about 60% of the volume of semen
