Digestive System Identification Sheet: Structures and Functions, Lab Reports of Physiology

BIOL 1152L – Digestive System Identification Sheet

You should be able to identify all of the following structures. For items in bold text, you must

also be able to name one function for all of the following structures. Your ability to identify them

will be based on the Anatomy 360 software as well as on the torso models you viewed in lab

(where possible). The heading for each section corresponds to the Digestive System Learning

Exercises in the Anatomy 360 software. You may need to rotate the structures in the software to

see all of the listed items. For the fetal pig, you can assume the function of the structures is the

same as they are in the human body.
