Match the following organs with their primary functions:

Stomach = Digestive organ for storage of ingested feed Abomasum = Secretes gastric hydrochloric acid Intestine = Tube connecting the stomach to the cecum and large intestine Pancreas = Gland found in the first loop of the duodenum

Match the following segments of the small intestine with their descriptions:

Cecum = Closed-ended tube where the ileum attaches to the colon Duodenum = Fixed part of the small intestine, closely attached to the stomach Ileum = Last part of the small intestine Rectum = Terminal part of the intestine, organ of storage

Match the following terms with their descriptions:

Colon = Larger, sacculated part of the intestine with longitudinal bands Anus = Terminal part of the alimentary system Appendix = Attached to the inferior end of the cecum, contains lymphatic cells Mesentery = Fold of peritoneum suspending the small intestine from the abdominal cavity

Match the digestive organ with its function:

Liver = Produces bile for fat emulsification Gall bladder = Storage place for bile Small Intestine = Site for water resorption and enzyme digestion Ceca and Large Intestine = Location for water resorption and bacterial fermentation Signup and view all the answers

Match the animal with the absence of the gall bladder:

Horse = Absence of gall bladder Elephant = Absence of gall bladder Rat = Absence of gall bladder Camel = Absence of gall bladder Signup and view all the answers

Match the bird organ with its function:

Beak = Used for picking up small articles of feed Esophagus = Contains an enlarged area known as the crop Cloaca/Vent/Anus = Eliminates waste products Ceca and Large Intestine = Site for water resorption and bacterial fermentation Signup and view all the answers

Match the digestive system part with its purpose:

Jejunum = Part of the small intestine with enzymes for digestion Salivary glands = Produces saliva containing amylase for breakdown reactions Crop (in birds) = Serves as an ingesta holding and moistening reservoir Anus = Eliminates waste products Signup and view all the answers

Match the descriptions with the correct function of blood:

Transports nutrients absorbed from the digestive tract to the tissues = Carries oxygen from the lungs to the tissues Carries oxygen from the lungs to the tissues = Transports hormones from one part of the body to another Helps maintain the water equilibrium of the body = Assists in keeping the normal temperature of the body Regulates the hydrogen ion concentration in the body = Assists in overcoming diseases Signup and view all the answers

Match the animals with their respective pulse rate ranges:

Horse = 30-45 pulse rate/minute Cattle = 54 pulse rate/minute Goat = 78 pulse rate/minute Chicken = 200-400 pulse rate/minute Signup and view all the answers

Match the animals with their correct sites for taking pulse rate:

Horse = Submandibular artery (face) Pig = Auscultation method using stethoscope at cardiac or chest region Dog and cat = Femoral artery Elephant = Not specified Signup and view all the answers

Match the terms with their definitions related to pulse rate:

Bradycardia = Marked slowing of the heart rate Tachycardia = Increased pulse rate Arrhythmia = No heart beat Not specified = Systemic circulation description Signup and view all the answers

Match the following structures with their functions:

Epididymis = Site of sperm maturation Vas deferens = Carry sperm from epididymis to urethra Seminal vesicles = Produce secretions with fructose and neutralize urine residues Prostate gland = Surrounds the pelvic urethra Signup and view all the answers

Match the following terms with their descriptions:

Cryptorchid = When only one testis fails to descend but is capable of fertilization Seminiferous tubules = Join to form rete testis and vas efferens Ampulla = Enlarged end of vas deferens where it joins with the urethra Penis = Male copulatory organ divided into glans, body, and roots Signup and view all the answers

Match the male reproductive structures with their locations:

Testes = Initially develop inside the body cavity Epididymis = Where sperm maturation occurs Vas deferens = Ends at the tail of the epididymis before forming the ampulla Urethra = Where spermatozoa and accessory fluids mix Signup and view all the answers

Match the male accessory glands with their characteristics:

Seminal vesicles = Paired and pear-shaped in some species, lobulated in others Prostate gland = Unpaired and surrounds the pelvic urethra Signup and view all the answers

Match the following parts of the digestive system with their descriptions:

Mouth = Responsible for the breakdown of food materials and serves as a prehensile organ Stomach = Produces hydrochloric acid and pepsinogen Esophagus = Musculomembranous tube extending from the pharynx to the stomach Rumen = Largest part of the forestomach, serves as a fermentation vat Signup and view all the answers

Match the following terms with their functions:

Ruminants = Can digest large quantities of roughage because of bacteria in their digestive systems Swine = Can only digest about 22% of roughage they eat Bacteria in ruminant digestive systems = Produce proteins, B-complex vitamins, and vitamin K Balancing ration for ruminants = Somewhat easier due to certain nutrients produced by ruminant animals themselves Signup and view all the answers

Match the following stomach compartments with their characteristics:

Reticulum = Receives heavy matter in food and acts as a liquid reservoir Rumen = Serves as a fermentation vat and organ of maceration Cardia = Entrance of the stomach Pylorus = Termination of the stomach Signup and view all the answers
