31
It is the yellowish extracellular fluid found in blood vessels.
Plasma
32
Plasma is composed of
90% water
33
Lymphatic system is comprised of
Lymph vessels Lymph nodes Lymph organs Areas of lymph tissues within the intestinal wall
34
What are the lymphatic organs
Bone Marrow Tonsils Thymus Spleen
35
Maintains internal fluid balance and is an important component of the body's immune system
Lymphatic system
36
They originate in the body tissue and take lymph toward the heart
Lymph vessels
37
Filters lymph and act as a barrier against infection by harboring lymphocytes, monocytes, and plasma cells
Lymph nodes
38
Filter lymph and act as a barrier against infection by harboring lymphocytes, monocytes, and plasma cells
Lymph nodes
39
Breaks down various nutrients found in feed into molecules that can be used by the cells of the body
Digestive system
40
Digestive system is made up of
Mouth Tongue Pharynx Esophagus Stomach Small Intestine Large Intestine Anus
41
What are the stages of digesting
Biting Chewing Swallowing and mixing of food Digestion and absorption of nutrient Excretion of waste
42
It is a chemical breakdown of complex food into simple nutrients and ultimately into molecules that are small enough to pass across the wall of the intestines
Digestion
43
It is the passage of molecules across the intestinal wall into the blood or lymph system
Absorption
44
Organism that depend entirely on plants for food
Herbivores
45
Organism that depends almost entirely on the flesh of other animals for food
Carnivores
46
Organism that can consume both flesh and plants
Omnivores
47
The three groups of animals based on their digestive systems
Ruminants Monogastrics Hindgut
48
Organism who have four stomachs instead of one
Ruminant
49
Examples of organism who are ruminants
Sheep Cattle Goats Deer
50
What are the four stomachs of ruminants
Rumen Reticulum Abomasum Omasum
51
It is the largest chamber of the ruminant stomach.
Rumen
52
Organism which have a single glandular stomach
Monogastrics
53
Organism that have a digestive system that is anatomically and physiologically similar to the human digestive system
Swine
54
Organism that have a larger than normal cecum and hindgut
Hindgut
55
Organism that has hindgut
Horse Donkey Rabbits
56
These animals require microbes to break down cellulose so that they can digest high fiber plant material such as grass
Hindgut animals
57
The tongue and lips are used to select food that animal intends to ingest
Mouth
58
A process where Food is chewed or physically broken down to smaller pieces
Mastication
59
It provides lubrication so the food may be swallowed and enzymes that break down the nutrients
Saliva
60
A wave like motion that moves the food down the esophagus to the stomach
Peristalsis
61
A tube like track that connects the pharynx to the stomach
Esophagus
62
A storage chamber that holds food particles
Non-ruminant stomach
63
What particles enter the rumen and microbes start eating or digesting these particles
Ruminant stomach
64
If the gases are allowed to accumulate in the rumen and they may cause
Bloat
65
An abnormal inflammation or distension of the rumen
Bloat
66
It's main function is absorption
Small intestine
67
It is highly vasculated finger like projections that greatly increase the absorptive surface area
Villi
68
Removes water and prepares the dry waste matter for feces and finally defecation
Large intestine
69
Fecal material is excreted via the
Rectum
70
Large intestine is consist of
Cecum Ascending colon Transverse colon Descending colon Sigmoid colon
71
What are the accessory digestive organs
Salivary glands Pancreas Liver Gallbladder
72
It has a ph balancing properties and provides enzymes that begin the chemical breakdown of nutrients
Saliva
73
Is made up of endocrine and exocrine glands
Pancreas
74
It produces insulin
Endocrine gland
75
Produces enzymes
Exocrine gland
76
It excretes bile which is stored in the gallbladder
Liver
77
This is where bile is stored
Gallbladder
78
It has properties that allow it to emulsify fats increasing the efficiency at which they are digested

81
It is secreted into the duodenum, and aids in the digestion of lipids

82
It provides the oxygen to the blood and excretes waste gases such as carbon dioxide
Respiratory system
83
The respiratory system includes
Lungs Nostrils Nasal cavity Pharynx Larynx Trachea
84
These are the internal openings of the respiratory tract that lead to the nasal cavity
Nostrils
85
It controls the breathing and prevents inhalation of foreign objects into the lungs
Larynx

Alveoli
91
The primary function is to exchange gases with the atmosphere
Lungs
92
Muscles of the diaphragm contract causing the thoracic cavity to enlarge and a vacuum to be created, the lungs to expand and the air is drawn into them.
Inhalation
93
The diaphragm muscles relax causing contraction of the chest muscles which decreases the thoracic cavity size resulting in the retraction of alveolar elastic fibers
Exhalation
94
The rate at which the brain stimulates breathing is affected by the carbon dioxide content of the blood body temperature and messages from other parts of the brain
Breathing rates
95
