Study Notes

Digestive Tract

The digestive tract with two designated openings for ingestion and elimination is the complete digestive tract.
The incomplete digestive tract has only one opening, used for both ingestion and elimination.

Crop in Birds

The crop is a specialized pouch in the esophagus of birds, used for food storage before digestion.

Stomach

The pH of the stomach is around 1.5-2.5.
Parietal cells in the stomach secrete hydrochloric acid (HCl).
The inactive form of pepsin stored in Chief cells is pepsinogen.

Digestion Process

Protein digestion begins in the stomach.
The correct order of food passage from the mouth to the anus is: mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, anus.

Biomolecule Digestion

Biomolecule digestion primarily occurs in the small intestine.
The enzyme responsible for biomolecule digestion is peptidase.

Absorption Process

Transport and osmosis enable the absorption of nutrients and water into the bloodstream.
These processes occur in the small intestine.

Stomach in Birds and Ruminants

The stomach in birds and ruminants is modified for their specific dietary needs.

Pancreas

The pancreas produces digestive enzymes, including amylase, lipase, and trypsin.
It also regulates blood glucose levels through insulin secretion.

Small Intestine

Enteropeptidase in the small intestine activates trypsin, which then activates other digestive enzymes.
Monosaccharides and amino acids are absorbed through facilitated diffusion and active transport in the small intestine.
Bile salts emulsify lipids, facilitating their digestion.
Fats enter the bloodstream as chylomicrons, formed in the small intestine.
Water absorption in the small intestine occurs through osmosis.

Feces Formation

Feces are formed in the large intestine, also known as the colon.

Blood Glucose Regulation

The pancreas regulates blood glucose levels through insulin secretion.
When blood glucose levels are high, insulin stimulates glucose uptake in cells.
When blood glucose levels fall too low, insulin secretion decreases, and glucagon stimulates glucose release from storage.
The primary risk factor for type 2 diabetes mellitus is insulin resistance.
The main difference between type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus is the level of insulin production: type 1 diabetes is characterized by insulin deficiency, while type 2 diabetes is characterized by insulin resistance.
Insulin regulates blood glucose levels by facilitating glucose uptake in cells.

Large Intestine

The large intestine is primarily responsible for water absorption, electrolyte absorption, and feces formation.
