Ruminant - Mouth/Teeth (F)
(Ruminant)
starting point of digestion -chemical = saliva -mehanial = teeth
Ruminant - Salivary Glands (E)
(Ruminant)
Secretes saliva to aid in digestion
Ruminant - Reticulum (G)
-honeycomb -filter foodstuffs -holds foodstuffs -site of regurgitation
-1st compartment
Ruminant - Rumen (C)
-fermentation vat -not active in early stages of life -microbial digestion -gas -carpet -80%
-2nd compartment
Ruminant - Omasum (H)
-many folds (book)
-dries foodstuffs
-absorbs water & nutrients
-abnormal for a stomach to absorb nutrients
-3rd compartment
Ruminant - Abomasum (I)
-“true stomach” -acidic digestion -hydrochloric acid -same as mono gastric -pepsin breaks down proteins -renin breaks down milk
-4th compartment
Ruminant - Large Intestine (B)
-absorbs water to send to blood stream -formation of feces
Ruminant - Small Intestine (J)
(Ruminant)
-absorption of nutrients -main site -absorbs to the bloodstream -3 sections (Dw about them)
Ruminant - Cecum (K)
-helps break down fiber -full function still unknown
Ruminant - Anus (A)
(Ruminant)
-excretes fecal matter
Monogastric - Mouth/Teeth/Tounge (A)
(Monogastric)
-begins mechanical (teeth) & chemical (saliva) digestion
Monogastric - Salivary Glands (B)
(Monogastric)
-produces saliva, which aids in chem digestion
Monogastric - Esophagus (C)
“food tube” - transports food to stomach (moistened by saliva)
Monogastric - Stomach (D)
churns & mixes food - uses acidic digestion to break food down further (bottom is lined to protect from digesting itself)
Monogastric - Large Intestine (I)
-absorbs water / dries
Monogastric - Small Intestine (E)
(Monogastric)
-does enzymatic digestion and absorbs nutrients
Monogastric - Pancreas (J)
produces & secretes enzymes
Monogastric - Gallbladder (K)
stores bile
Monogastric - Cecum (F)
no function in most monogastrics; in modified monogastrics (hind-gut fermenters) it ferments roughages (similar to a rumen in ruminants)
Monogastric - Colon (G)
end of large intestine - storage of fecal matter
Monogastric - Anus (H)
(Monogastric)
excretes fecal matter
Female - Uterus (A)
-where the egg attaches -the “womb”
Female - Cervix (B)
-tight barrier between itself and uterus
-site of artificial insemination (AI)
Female - Vagina (C)
-“tube” -site of natural insemination (NI) -most common site of infection
Female - Vulva (D)
-“entryway” -swells & covers w/ mucus during estrus
Female - Oviducts (F)
-where egg is released during corpus luteum
-path between ovaries and uterine horns
Female - Ovaries (G)
-holds egg supply (finite) -releases egg during ovulation
Female - Uterine Horns (E)
-between ovary & uterus -length/development determines reproductive capability (size of litter)
Male - Scrotum (B)
outside skin, protects testes slightly from outside world. rises and lowers based on temperature
Male - Testicle (C)
produces spermatozoa
Male - Head of Epididymus (D)
stores immature sperm cells
Male - Tail of Epididymus (A)
stores mature sperm cells
Male - Prostate Gland (Unlabeled)
-adds a buffer solution (change in pH) for sperm cells to survive in female repro. this is what becomes semen
Male - Cowper’s Gland (E)
-cleans remaining urine out of urethra -“m y q u e e n” (v. sorry to the rest of you this is only for bella and brady)
Male - Sigmoid Flexure (Unlabeled)
-fills with blood, enlarges in order to be inserted into a vagina
Male - Retractor Muscle (G)
pulls sigmoid flexure back when reproduction is finished
Male - Vas Deferens (F)
transports sperm from epididymis to prostate
Monogastric - Liver (L)
produces bile
