1. Non-Ruminant Digestion

2. What are Non-Ruminants?
Animals with digestive systems that have a simple stomach structure, also called a monogastric system
Most animals are classified as omnivores or carnivores

3. The Non-Ruminant System
Mouth
Esophagus
Stomach
Small Intestine
Large Intestine
Anus

4. The Non-Ruminant System
Mouth
Collects and chews feed and vegetation
Teeth
Carnivores
Sharp teeth for tearing and ripping
Omnivores
Sharp teeth and flat molars for tearing and grinding

5. The Non-Ruminant System
Salivary Glands
Secretes digestive enzymes
Provide lubrication for swallowing

6. The Non-Ruminant System
Esophagus
Connects mouth to stomach
Unidirectional
Forceful regurgitation may occur in some animals when sick

7. The Non-Ruminant System
Stomach
Glandular pouch that mixes and churns feed
Secretes gastric juices and enzymes to aid in food particle breakdown

8. The Non-Ruminant System
Pancreas
Produces and secretes enzymes
Aids in the digestion of carbohydrates and fats
Liver
Lobed reddish brown organ
Produces bile (greenish in color)
Aids in the digestion of fats
Gall Bladder
Storage sac for bile from liver
Secretes bile into small intestine

9. The Non-Ruminant System
Small Intestine
Secretes intestinal juices
Pale watery substance from the intestinal wall
Protein digestion
Buffers hydrochloric acid from the stomach
Digests and absorbs nutrients

10. The Non-Ruminant System
Small Intestine Sections
Duodenum
Secretion of intestinal juices, pancreatic enzymes and bile to further digest food
Jejunum
Digestion
Absorption of nutrients
Ileum

11. The Non-Ruminant System
Cecum
Non-functioning blind pouch found in-between the small intestine and large intestine
Large Intestine
Absorbs water and adds mucus to undigested feed

12. The Non-Ruminant System
Rectum
Internal sphincter which controls excretion
Anus
External sphincter which controls excretion

13. The Non-Ruminant System
Large Intestine
Small Intestine
Anus
Pancreas
Duodenum
Jejunum
Ileum
Stomach
Salivary Glands
Mouth
Rectum
Gall Bladder
Esophagus
Cecum
Liver

14. Lobed reddish brown organ, produces bile (greenish in color), aids in the digestion of fats

15. Secretes intestinal juices digests and absorbs nutrients

16. Secretes digestive enzymes provides lubrication for swallowing

17. Secretion of intestinal juices, pancreatic enzymes and bile to further digest food, 1st section of small intestine

18. Connects mouth to stomach unidirectional

19. Glandular pouch that mixes and churns feed, secretes gastric juices and enzymes

20. Collects and chews feed and vegetation

21. Produces and secretes enzymes, aids in the digestion of carbohydrates and fats

22. Who has sharp teeth for tearing and ripping?

23. Absorbs water and adds mucus to undigested feed

24. Storage sac for bile from liver, secretes bile into small intestine

25. Who has sharp teeth and flat molars for tearing and grinding?

26. Internal sphincter which controls excretion

27. Absorption of nutrients 3rd section of small intestine

28. Non-functioning blind pouch found in-between the small intestine and large intestine

29. External sphincter which controls excretion

30. Digestion and absorption of nutrients 2nd section of small intestine
