Digestive System
To understand what is in our system
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Monogastric | A monogastric digestive system works as soon as the food enters the mouth. Saliva moistens the food and begins the digestive process. |
| Mouth | A mouth is what you put food in to eat, and water. It’s also where your teeth is at and your tongue. |
| Esophagus | which passes food from the pharynx to the stomach, is about 25 cm (10 inches) in length; the width varies from 1.5 to 2 cm (about 1 inch). |
| Stomach | a muscular organ located on the left side of the upper abdomen. The stomach |
| Small intestine | is the part of the intestines where 90% of the digestion and absorption of food occurs, |
| Cecum | to absorb fluids and salts that remain after completion of intestinal digestion and absorption and to mix its contents with a lubricating substance, mucus. |
| Large Intestine | also known as the large bowel, is the last part of the gastrointestinal tract and of the digestive system in vertebrates. |
| Rectum | The rectum is a chamber that begins at the end of the large intestine, immediately following the sigmoid colon, and ends at the anus |
| Ruminant | The esophagus functions bidirectionally in ruminants, allowing them to regurgitate their cud for further chewing, if necessary. |
| Rumen | Like other vertebrates, ruminant Artiodactyla are unable to digest plant material directly, because they lack enzymes to break down cellulose in the cell walls. |
| Reticulum | The reticulum is the second chamber in the alimentary canal of a ruminant animal |
| Omasum | is where food particles that are small enough get transferred into the abomasum for enzymatic digestion. |
| Abomasum | is the fourth and final stomach compartment in ruminants. It secretes rennet, |
| Salivary Gland | produce saliva, which keeps the mouth and other parts of the digestive system moist. |
| Gallbladder | as a reservoir for bile while it's not being used for digestion. The bile helps the digestive process by breaking up fats. |
| Pancreas | The pancreas also produces the hormone insulin and secretes it into the bloodstream, where it regulates the body's glucose or sugar level |
| Cardiac Valve | which prevents food from passing from the stomach back into the esophagus |
| Pyloric Valve | is a band of smooth muscle at the junction between the pylorus of the stomach and the duodenum of the small intestine. |
| Villi | which increase the surface area of the intestine and contain specialized cells that transport substances into the bloodstream. |
| Absorption | that come from the food pass through channels in the intestinal wall and into the bloodstream. |
| Alimentary Tract | is the chief organ developing from endoderm. |
| Accessory Digestive Organ | An organ that helps with digestion but is not part of the digestive tract. The accessory digestive organs are the tongue, salivary glands, pancreas, liver, |
| Crop | is an expanded, muscular pouch near the gullet or throat. It is a part of the digestive tract, essentially an enlarged part of the esophagus. |
| Proventriculus | is part of the digestive system of birds. An analogous organ exists in invertebrates and insects. |
| Gizzard | is made up of two sets of strong muscles that act as the bird's teeth and has a thick lining that protects those muscles |
| Cloaca | in vertebrates, common chamber and outlet into which the intestinal, urinary, and genital tracts open. |
| Kidney | remove wastes and extra water from the blood to form urine. Urine flows from the kidneys to the bladder through the ureters. |
| Duodenum | is the first section of the small intestine in most higher vertebrates, including .... Like other structures of the gastrointestinal |
| Pharynx | is the portion of the digestive tract that receives the food from your mouth. |
| Liver | has multiple functions, but its main function within the digestive system is to process the nutrients absorbed from the small intestine. |
| Yolk Sac | is a membranous sac attached to the embryo, which provides nutrients and functions as the circulatory system of the very early |
| Ileocecal Valve | is a sphincter muscle situated at the junction of the ileum and the colon |
