TABLE 9-1: ORGANS AND STRUCTURES OF THE THROAT
Organ or Structure thymus trachea larynx thyroid gland vagus nerve esophagus trachea salivary glands carotid arteries jugular veins Function gland involved in the maturation of certain immune cells tube held open by cartilage rings this structure contains the vocal cords gland that can greatly affect the bodys metabolic rate regulates breathing, digestive, and heart rate tube that transports food to the stomach tube that carries air to the lungs produces digestive enzymes in the mouth vessel close to the trachea and carries oxygenated blood vessel close to the trachea and carries deoxygenated blood
3.
The trachea has rings that are made of cartilage, thus the trachea remains open at all times. The esophagus is a flat tube that does not stay open when not in use. This is why you are capable of breathing when you are in a reclining position, but not eating.

ribs heart lung
diaphragm 2. 3. 4. 5. A person chokes when material is caught in the opening of the trachea. The Heimlich Maneuver helps to solve a choking problem, because the pressure of the thrust forces the caught object out of the trachea. When the diaphragm can not flatten completely, an individual can fill their lungs completely. This can make breathing more difficult.

The rugae in the stomach allow for its expansion. Activity 9 2. The villi are structure in the small intestine that increases the surface area of the small intestine. The absence of villi would decrease the amount of nutrients absorbed by the small intestine. 3. a. The smaller stomach meals that individuals have to eat smaller meals, thus reducing their caloric intake. b. When a portion of the small intestine is by-passed, fewer calories are absorbed into the body. Activity 10 2.
