ANSC 1676/SAAS 276 Name: Anatomy and Physiology assignmentDue: Tuesday, January 31st (submit a hard copy)1. List 2 functions of each of the following body systems:• Integumentary– Tissue/organ protection (3 layers – epidermis, dermis, hypodermis)– Protects the body from dehydration• Skeletal– Blood cell production– Keeps organs in their place• Muscular– Movement– Join stability• Circulatory– Moves blood through the body– Regulated temperature and pH• Respiratory– Takes in oxygen, releases carbon dioxide– Gas exchange in the alveoli• Nervous– Responsible for the control of the body– Sends and receives signals from brain to muscles and vise versa• Urinary– Waste disposal– Keeps stable balance of salts in the blood• Endocrine– Produce and secrete hormones– Adrenal glands (flight or fight response, adrenaline/blood pressue)• Sense organs– 5 Senses – sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch– Vision – changes light energy into nerve impulses, hearing – conversion of sound wavesto nerve impulses2. Compare and contrast bone shape, size, movement allowed etc. between the cat, dog and rabbit skeletons. Decide upon 4 bones (or group of bones) to compare.a. Tibia i. Rabbit – allows for hopping, can be easily fractured, thin boneii. Cat – designed for climbing and jumping/catching preyiii. Dog – designed to not to be able to jump as high as cats/earthboundb. Spinei. Rabbit – fragile spine, spine can break if rabbits kick too hardii. Cat – gives shoulder blade freedom to move, small collarbones allow cats to fit insmall spacesiii. Dog – shoulders designed for speed and agility, spine can bend & stretchc. Carpal bonesi. Rabbit – 9 carpal bonesii. Cat – provide stability and fine movementiii. Dog – injuries common for dogs involved in agility sports, forms several joints, 7 bones, important for bearing weight, movement & flexibility of the wristd. Phalangei. Rabbit – non-retractable claws, 5 phalanges on frontii. Cat – 5 phalanges on the front, walk on their toes, claws grow out of phalanges –retractable, elastic ligamentiii. Dog – non-retractable claws, 5 phalanges on front3. Draw a picture of a four-legged animal and label the following parts: a. Dorsalb. Ventralc. Caudald. Craniale. Withersf. Axillag. Muzzleh. Pinna4. Draw and label the bones/joints listed below on the dog skeleton.5. Search for the weird, the odd, the extraordinary… Briefly describe one peculiar aspect of anatomy or physiology of a companion animal. The TA’s will choose the weirdest, oddest and most extraordinary to share with the class (names need not be announced).a. The largest type of hamster can grow to 13 inches (the European Hamster)b. The smallest hamster is 2 to 4 inches long (the Roborovski Dwarf Hamster)a. Skullb. Vertebraec. Ribsd. Scapula (shoulder)e. Humerusf. Radius and Ulnag. Carpal bonesh. Metacarpalsi. Phalangesj.
