WITH WELL VERIFIED ANSWERS
Integumentary system - answer☑️✔️..Includes the skin and all of its related components
ex: nails, hair, hooves, horns
Endocrine system - answer☑️✔️..Glands that control and regulate body functions through the
internal secretion of hormones
Hormones are released directly into the bloodstream which allows hormones to target certain
cells throughout whole body
Digestive system - answer☑️✔️..Collection of organs that take in, digest, and absorb food for
use by the body to maintain health and normal function
Includes all structures of the mouth
ex: esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines
Acessory digestive organs - answer☑️✔️..Provide secretions that aid in the chemical process
ex: salivary glands, pancreas, liver
Reproductive system - answer☑️✔️..Group of organs that function to provide offspring
The organs include genital tract, ovaries and testes, and all organs in the endocrine system
Dorsal - answer☑️✔️..Meaning toward the top of an animal when it is standing on all four legs
Toward the backbone
Up direction
Top surface
, Cranial - answer☑️✔️..Means toward the head of an animal
(head-end)
ex: a horse's shoulder is located cranial to its hip
Sagittal plane - answer☑️✔️..Plane that runs the length of the body and divides it into left and
right parts that are not necessarily equal halves
Medial - answer☑️✔️..Toward the median plane
Toward the center line of the body
ex: the medial surface of an animals leg is the one closest to its body
Lateral - answer☑️✔️..Away from the median plane
ex: the lateral surface of the leg is the outer surface
Deep (directional) - answer☑️✔️..Towards the center of the body or body parts
Internal
Superficial (directional) - answer☑️✔️..Toward the surface of the body or body parts
External
Proximal (directional term) - answer☑️✔️..Describes positions only on extremities of animal
Towards the body
Distal (directional term) - answer☑️✔️..Describes positions only on extremities of animal
Away from the body
