| 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 |
