feeds and feeding exam 2 Flashcards
(162 cards)
What is the digestive anatomy of a monogastric?
-mouth, lips, tongue, teeth
- grasping food and masticating (chewing)
- saliva (contains alpha amylase that digests starch)
-esophagus
What are the organs involved with the digestive tract and what are the other associated organs?
involved: Mouth, esophagus, stomach, small and large intestine
associated: liver, gallbladder, pancreas.
What is diff about the esophagus in a ruminant vs. monogastric?
In a monogastric movement is only volterarly in one direction. ruminants are capable of foward and reverse peristalsis.
What is the section of the stomach following the esophagus and what does it do?
- esophageal region- non secreatory. if feed is to small infections can occur. sensitive.
what does the cardiac part of the stomach do?
secretes mucus that keeps the stomach acid in the stomach to protect other organs before and after stomach.
what does the fundic region of the stomach do?
where all “fun happens.” location of stomach acid where hydrolysis digestion occurs and the stomach muscles contract. acid and enzyme secreation.
what does the pyloric region do?
secretes mucus. connects to the dudeonum, the first part of the small intestine. pyloric region has a flap that lets food continue.
where does protein digestion begin in monogastrics? where does starch?
stomach, mouth
What do chief cells make?
produce protein digesting enzyme: pepsinogen which is a zymogen (inactive enzyme)
what to parietal cells make?
HCL. pepsinogen plus HCL makes pepsin (the active form of the protein digestive enzyme.)
What happens in the duodenum and what is it surrounded by?
shortest segment of small intestine, BULK OF DIGESTION OCCURS HERE. pancreatic and gall bladder secretions enter (pancreatic, amylase, pancreatic peptidase, and bile.) liver and pancreas is attached. surrounded by nerves. when food arrives nerves allow liver and pancratic secretions to enter. DO NOT ADSORB NUTRIENTS IN DEUDENUM.
What happens in jejunum and iieum? what happens to lipids?
major site of nutrient adsorbtion. lipids enter the lymphatic system and are released into general circulation after they get proteins added to them.
the liver runs what?
the whole bodies metabolism. all nutrients go through liver which determines where everything needs to go based on metabolic state.
in chickens the duodenum does what?
wraps around pancraus. bile from gallbladder and enzymes are secreated all the way around.
what three things increases the adsorbtive surface of small intestine.
valves, villi, microvilli.
valves increase surface area? villi? microvilli? why do they increase surface area?
3 fold. 30 fold, on valve. 600 fold.
what is the main function of the villi and microvilli?
to increase the area avaliable for nutrient adsorbotion.
every villi in the small intestine has a what? fats travel through what while amino acid and carb travel through what?
blood supply and nutrient transport system. lacteal. capillary network.
the large intestine has the?
cecum and colon.
what happens in the cecum (appendix) ?
fermentation of structural carbs, where fiber digestion occurs. where the small and large intestine meet. slows feed down.
what happens in the colon?
water adsorbition. fermentation of structural carbs, baterial synthesis of vit k and B vitamins. MOSTLY WATER ADSORPTION.
what is true about avian mouth digestion?
NOT a lot of digestion in mouth. do not make a lot of salivia. patability is not an issue.
what is the crop?
part of the end of esophagus. where LIMITED fermination happens. feed is moistined.
what does the proventriculus do?
‘car wash’ sprays acid and enzymes on food. feed moves thorough fast.
