Study Notes
Anatomy of the Dogfish
-
Liver:
- Massive yellowish bi-lobed gland essential for metabolism.
- Functions include bile secretion, glycogen and fat storage, and destruction of aged erythrocytes (red blood cells).
-
Pancreas:
- Contains a small pancreatic duct running the length of the gland.
- Duct opens into the intestine, facilitating the delivery of digestive enzymes.
-
Rectal Gland:
- Small, finger-like structure located on the dorsal side of the rectum.
- Has a specific duct that connects it to the rectum, playing a role in osmoregulation.
-
Spleen:
- Large gland associated with immune functions, not directly related to the alimentary canal.
- Plays a role in blood filtration and the recycling of iron from hemoglobin.
