Q

Gastric Ceca

A

(Insects, Birds) storage area used to help break down plant material

Mammals have a rudimentary cecum

16
Q

Small Intestine

A

Duodenum (enzymatic hydrolysis and nutrient absorption)
Jejunum (contributes to nutrient and water absorption)
Ileum (primarily absorbs b12 bile salts and anything jejunum missed)

17
Q

Villi

A

Large folds in Intestine lining to increase absorption

Each epithelial cell has many microvilli

18
Q

Lacteal

A

Vessels of lymphatic system, absorb fat

19
Q

Colon

A

Reclaimed water to makes feces more solid (diarrhea and constipation caused by disruption of this)

20
Q

Rectum

A

Stores feces until elimination through anus

21
Q

Regulation of the Digestion System

A

Enteric division of the nervous system

Endocrine system regulates digestion through hormone transport and release

22
Q

Dietary adaptations

A

Dentition

Extensive cecum/colon (herbivores)- more water absorption

Ruminant stomach (4 chambers)

23
Q

Gut microbes change

A

Throughout life

24
Q

Mutualistic colon bacteria contain

A

Hydrolysis enzymes for cellulose digestion into simple sugars

25
Q

Microbiom differences affect

A

Disease and mood state
