Animals can be divided into three groups based on their digestive systems: • • •

• Ruminants • Monogastrics • Hindgut

Examples of ruminant animals.

Sheep, cattle, goats, and deer

They have four stomachs instead of one

Ruminants

Ruminants have four stomachs, these are:

Rumen Reticulum Abomasum Omasum

• ______ the largest chamber of the of the ruminant stomach • Contains millions of microbes, bacteria, and protozoa • Lining composed of many papillae that aid in the absorption of nutrients • Produces a large amount of methane gas, mainly methane and carbon dioxide • When an animal eats, these microbes, bacteria, and protozoa digest the food as it enters the rumen. • Nutrients are then released to be used by the ruminant animal.

Rumen

These ______ have a single glandular stomach. Answer: name and animals

Monogastrics Swine and poultry

Swine

examples of hindgut fermenters.

Horses, donkeys, and rabbits

_________ have a larger than normal cecum.

Hindgut fermemeters

These animal require microbes to break down cellulose so that they can digest high-fiber plant material such as grass.

Hindgut fermenters

The digestive system is made up of: 2nd answer

• Mouth • Esophagus • Non-ruminant Stomach • Ruminant Stomach • Small intestine • Large intestine • Accessory digestive organs

The _______ and _______ are used to select food that that animal intends to ingest.

tongue and lips

Food is chewed or physically broken down to smaller pieces by a process called ________.

mastication

Saliva provides: • ________ so the food may be swallowed • ________ that break down the nutrients

Lubrication Enzymes

Food moves down the esophagus to the stomach in a wave-like motion called _______

peristalsis

The ________ is a tube-like tract that connects the pharynx to the stomach.

esophagus

When an animal swallows, the ______ rises so that the _______ closes off the _______ thus preventing food from entering the air passageway.

larynx epiglottis trachea

The is a storage chamber that holds food particles.

Non-ruminant stomach

This is where breakdown of food particles by enzymes continues in the stomach.

Non - ruminant stomach

• Food particles enter the rumen and microbes start eating or digesting these particles. • The microbes produce waste or by-products which can then be used by the animal. Some of the microbes pass into the intestines where they are digested by the animal. • Ruminants get their main source of protein (approximately 70%) from digesting the microbes that pass into the small intestine.

Ruminant stomach

RUMINANT STOMACH • All ruminants are ________. They consume grasses and other plant materials containing larges amount of cellulose. • Microorganisms in the digestive system of ruminants synthesize all _________ essential to the animal. • _________ and _______ gas is expelled by belching and, to a lesser extent, absorbed into the blood. • If the gases are allowed to accumulate in the rumen, they may cause ______ (an abnormal inflation or distension of the rumen). • Ruminants chew food, then swallow it and start to digest it. • They are then able to regurgitate the food and ________ it (chew it more). This function helps to break down the fibrous material further and allows the microbes the access food particles.

herbivores amino acids • Methane and carbon dioxide • bloat • re-masticate

Its main function is absorption

Small intestine

crop

DIGESTIVE SYSTEM • Feed passes from the proventriculus to the ventriculus, or gizzard, which crushes and grinds coarse feed. • Feed passes from the gizzard into the duodenum. • ______ are secreted containing enzymes that aid in the digestion of carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins. • ________, which is also secreted into the duodenum, aids in the digestion of lipids. • Absorption takes place in the __________.

Respiratory system

Respiratory system includes:

• Lungs • Nostrils • Nasal cavity • Pharynx • Larynx • Trachea

The trachea enters the chest cavity as a single tube to the base of the heart where it divides into two braches called _________ Each bronchi Bronchi/Lungs passes into one of the lungs Inside the lungs, the bronchi branch into smaller bronchi and finally into very small tubes called ________.

primary bronchi bronchioles

RESPIRATORY SYSTEM • The bronchioles open into alveolar ducts, which lead to the smallest portions of the respiratory system called _______. • Oxygen is diffused from the bloodstream into the alveoli so it can be exhaled out of the body.

alveoli

The primary function of the ______ is to exchange gases with the atmosphere. • Gas absorbed by the lungs during inhalation is _____. • Gas exhaled is _________.

Lungs oxygen carbon dioxide

Muscles of the diaphragm contract causing the thoracic cavity to enlarge and a vacuum to be created. The lungs to expand and air is drawn into them.

Inhalation

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

Breathing rates of animals are controlled by nerve cells in a portion of the brain called the _________.
