Reproductive System
Function of GI Tract
Digest, absorb nutrients, excrete waste
What does the GI tract rely on to move food through?
Muscle contraction- peristalsis
True or False: Animals are meant to throw up
False except for ruminants
Do red blood cells have nuclei?
Only in camels
Canine appetite and digestive method
Canine and Monogastric
Is a canines digestive tract simple or complex?
Simple
Swine appetite and digestive method
Omnivore fed as herbivore and Monogastric
Is swines digestive tract simple or complex?
Simple
True or False: poultry have teeth
False. They use crop to break down food
Poultry appetite and digestive method
Omnivore
Monogastric
Is digestive tract for poultry simple or complex?
Simple
Why do Equine have a large cecum?
Bc they’re hind gut fermenters
Where does most of the absorption occur in equine?
Large intestine
Is equine simple or complex GI?
Simple
What do cows, sheep, and goats have in common?
Ruminants
Appetite for ruminants
Herbivores
Ruminant digestive tract simple or complex?
COMPLEX
Why is the colon longer in ruminants?
To give more time for the break down of cell walls
The true stomach
Abomasum
Why do rabbits have a large cecum?
Hind gut fermenters
True or False: Rabbits eat their waste to redigest it
True. They eat cecal which turns to fecal
Function of Cardiovascular system
Transportation, nutrients, immune system, thermoregulation
Which two organ systems have thermoregulation?
Cardiovascular and respiratory
Respiratory system function
Air/ waste exchange
Thermoregulation
How do humans cool down?
Evaporative cooling
How do animals cool down?
Panting
True or False: pigs and puppies can thermoregulate
False
Function of Muscle
Marketable portion of livestock species
What are the three types of muscle?
Smooth
Skeletal
Cardiovascular
Function of Skeletal System
Protection
Point of attachment for muscles(locomotion)
Framework
Storage
Which animals has growth plates with break joints?
Lambs
What skeletal issue do canines have most commonly

Function of Adipose Tissue
Energy storage system(2.25 times more dense)
Found in 3/4 anatomical locations
Two types
What are the two types of fat?
White and Brown Fat
Function of white fat
It’s mesenteric
Insulates
Function of Brown Fat
First source of nourishment
Metabolic necessity

Intramuscular
How many calories per gram is fat
9 cal/g
Nervous System function
Central nervous system
Peripheral nervous system
Autonomic nervous system
Function of Endocrine system
Hormones
Capabilities of hormones
Chemical messenger
Message in blood
Produced by an endocrine gland
Exerts a specific effect on target
Acts by binding to a receptor
Hormone Cascade
Hypothalamus
Releasing hormone
Anterior pituitary gland
Pituitary hormone
Target endocrine gland
Hormone
Target issue
Reproductive System function
Survival of the species
Multiple approaches
