Question | Answer |
---|---|
rumination | regurgitation, remastication, ensalivation, and reswollowing of partially digested food. Occurs in Rummants. |
Peristalsis | invoulntary wavelike movment of the intersinal tract propelling contents through the gastrointestinal tract |
Omnivores | eat meat and plants |
Herivores | eat plants |
Carnivores | eat meat |
Labia | lips |
Chol/e, chol/o | bile |
Chyl/e, chyl/o | milky fluid |
Ptyal/o | saliva |
amyl/o | starch |
what are the functions of the gi tract | prehnsion of food transpert of foodbreakdown of foodabsoption of foodcarries waste to be eliminated form the body |
what are the structures of gi | mouth, teeth, tongue, pharanyx, esophagus, stmach, intestines. |
what are the accessory organs | salivary glands, liver, pancreas |
sheep goats horses have what kind that help them to pick up food | Soft flexiable lips |
cattle and hogs have | shift and immobile lips |
rats have so that they can chew through material without having to ingest it | lips that meet behingd the inscisors |
members of the camel family have allowing them to graze without digging up the roots | upperlips that split |
conical papillae | cone-shaped finger-like projections found onthr inside of the lips of ruminants. Prevents food from escaping from the mouth. |
oral cavity contains | gums teeth and tongue |
what is the palate | it forms the roof of the mouth |
hard palate | rigid bony structure covered with mucous membranes that contains transverse ridges of thickend membrane |
soft palate | parition between mouth and the nasoharanyx that is composed of muscle and covered with mucous membranes. |
cheeks | formed by buccinator muscle(keeps food between the teeth while chewing) and the buccal pad |
tongue | keeps food between the teeth during chewing puts pressure on the hard palate to aid in the swallowing used for the food prehension, licking, grooming, lapping up fluid |
lingual frenulum | anchors underside of the tongue to floor of the mouth |
papillae | elevation on the sides and the upper surface of the tongue. |
gingivae/ gingiva | covers the surfaces of the maxilla and the mandible and forms a collar around each tooth very vascular |
teeth | number vary between species and diet |
deciduous teeth | functions to cut and grind food and to provide defenserabbits and rodents have only one set of teeth that grow throughout life |
carnivoers have | brachydont teeth |
crown | projects above gumline |
neck | located in gumline |
root | fixes the tooth in the socket(bony Alveoulus) |
enamel | encases the crown( hardest substance of body) |
Cementum | encases the root. Cementum is bonelike |
dentin | lise under the enamel and cementum and makes up the bulk of the tooth |
Alveolar Bone | is the bony structure that supports the teeth |
pulp cavity | inside the dentin and conatins the tooths nerve and blood supply |
perodental ligament | connects cementum to bone of the alveolus |
periodontium | peridontal ligament+ the connections in the cementum+ surrounding Alveolaer bone |
herbivores have | hypsodont teeth |
incisors | front teeth that are used for shearing and cutting grass. aslo defense |
canines | "fangs eyeteeth, wolf teeth, tusks," used to them prominent in carnivore. Used for defense |
premolars and Molars | "cheek teeth," grind food to a size that can be swallowed. |
dental formulas | indicates the number of each teeth on 1 side of the mouth ICPM |
lingual | surface of the teeth next to tongue |
buccal | surface of teeth next to the cheeck |
labial | surface of teeth next to the lips |
occusal | surface of teeth for chewing |
Salivary glands | paratid(next to the parietal bone), mandibular, sublingual, Zygomatic(only in dogs) |
saliva | serous fluid secreted by the salivary glands that funcions to dissolve or lubicated food, facilitate swallowing, and initiate digestion. |
Pharynx | passage way for air and food |
Esophagus | muscular tube from the pharaynx through the diaphragm to the stomach dilates as food passes through |
voluntary swallowing | passage of food from the mouth to the pharaynx. at this point the larynx is blocked by the epiglottis so food should olgy the right way the tounge helps |
1st invoulntary swallowing | reflex phase that passes the food from the esophagus to the stomach. respiration is surppressed as to keepfood from going into the trachea |
2nd invoulntary swallowing | muscles contract the food through the cardiac sphinctor into the stomach |
peritoneum | membranes that lines the abdominal cavity; holds viscera in place |
omentum | fold of pertioneum overlying organs, esp stomach. lace like in apperance |
mesentary | peritoneal fold that attaches the intestines to the dorsal |
nonruminant | simple stomached |
Monogastric | single chambered stomach located caudal to diaphragm on the left side of the body 3 main parts: fundus, body, pylorus |
sphincter muscle | muscles that are ring shaped that close an opening when they contract |
cardiac sphincter | located between the esophagus and stomach . food enters when it relaxes. sphincters thightens when digestion is taking place. prvents reflux. |
pyloric sphincter | located between the pylorus and the duodneum. contracts to revent stomach conents from escaping during digestion. relaxes to allow contents to leave stomach and continue to intestines. |
layers of intestinal wall (from inner to outer) | mucosa, submucosa, muscular externa, serosa |
chyme | smeifluid contents of stomach after digestionmoves through digestive tract via peristalsis |
4 chambers of a ruminant stomach | rumen, recticulum, omansum, abomasum1st 3 chambers ferment the food. |
Fermination | anaerobic conversion of organic compounds such as carbohydrates, to |
