CHAPTER 5 Flashcards
What type of digestive system does pig have
Monogastric or non-ruminant
Digestive tract of the pig has five main parts what is this
Mouth
Esophagus
stomach
small intestine
and large intestine
This is where food enters the digestive tract and where mechanical breakdown of food begins
Mouth
It is a mixture of food and saliva during the process of chewing
Bolus
It moistens the food lubricates the esophagus and initiates the digestion of starch
Saliva
What are the three main salivary glands
Parotid
mandibular
sublingual glands
It is used to chew and grind food into smaller pieces
Teeth
It contains an enzyme which starts the digestion of starch
Saliva
Parotid glands contains
Serous cells
Mandibular glands contains
Serous cells and mucus cells
It contains amylase
Sublingual glands
What does LES means or the cardiac esophageal sphincter
It is a muscular ring that controls the passage of food from the esophagus to the stomach, preventing reflux
It is a muscular organ responsible for storage initiating the breakdown of nutrients and passing the digest time to the small intestine
Stomach
Stomach has four distinct areas which includes
Esophageal
cardiac
fundic
pyloric regions
This region of the stomach does not secrete digestive enzymes but has significance in that this is where ulcer formation in
Esophageal regions
This region is responsible for secreting mucus to line the digestive membranes to prevent damage from the low ph digest as it passes to the small intestines
Pyloric region
In this region gastric glands secrete hydrochloric acid resulting in a low ph of 1.5 to 2.5
Fundic region
In this region mucus is secreted and mixed with the digestive food
Cardiac region
It causes low ph level in the stomach activating pepsinogen to pepsin
Hydrochloric acid
It protect the lining of stomach
Mucin
It’s function is milk clotting what is its origin and what enzyme
Chymosin
It prolongs the passage time of milk along the gastrointestinal tract
Milk clotting
Secreted by the mucous neck cells of the gastric glands constitutes a major component of the viscous mucus layer.
Mucin
It regulates the amount of time that passes into the small intestine. It’s primary functions is not to overload the small intestine with chyme
Pyloric sphincter
