Match the following terms with their correct definitions in animal digestion:
gizzard = A very muscular organ in the avian digestive system, which normally contains stones or grit that grinds the food monogastric digestive system = A simple digestive system that contains a single-chambered stomach and is the type found in humans, swine, dogs, and cats rumination = The process of chewing the cud anus = The opening at the end of the large intestine
Match the following terms with their correct definitions in animal digestion:
cecum = The “blind gut” found where the small intestine joins the large intestine amino acids = Compounds that contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen ruminant digestive system = The type of digestive system found in cattle, sheep, and goats that contains one large stomach divided into four compartments absorption = The process of taking the digested parts of the food into the bloodstream
Match the following terms with their correct definitions in animal digestion:
rumen = The largest section of the ruminant stomach and the first compartment that the food enters enzymes = Organic catalysts that speed up the digestive process crop = In the avian digestive system, the organ in which the food is stored and soaked feces = Food materials that are not digested or absorbed
Match the following terms with their descriptions in the context of animal digestion:
Rumen = The second segment of the ruminant stomach, sometimes considered an extension of the rumen Digestion = The process of breaking down food into simple substances that can be absorbed by the body Ruminant = A group of animals that can digest large quantities of roughage in their digestive systems Abomasum = The 'true stomach' in the ruminant digestive system
Match the following terms with their definitions in the context of animal digestion:
Chyme = The acidic, partially digested material that moves from the stomach to the small intestine Bile = A yellowish-green, alkaline, bitter liquid produced in the liver Villi = The small fingerlike projections on the walls of the small intestine, key to absorption Enzymes = Organic catalysts that speed up the digestive process
Match the following enzymes with their role in animal digestion:
Pepsin = One of the three enzymes found in the digestive system Rennin = One of the three enzymes found in the digestive system Gastric lipase = One of the three enzymes found in the digestive system
Match the following terms with their definitions in the context of animal digestion:
Cecum = A part of the digestive system that may have no function in some animals like horses Monogastric digestive system = A type of digestive system, for example, that a cow does not have Rumination = The process referred to as 'chewing the cud' Pancreatic juice = One of the substances found in the digestive system along with bile and intestinal juice
