Digestion part 2 Flashcards
Adaptations of the alimentary canal
length diameter folds in lining spiral valves regionalization
expanded part of esophagus
crop
expanded part of intestine
cecum
extensions off stomach in fish
pyloric ceca
outpocketings
diverticula
fold in lining
rugae and plicae circularis
spiral channel through tube to increase surface area
spiral valve
lamprey digestive system
straight tube mouth to anus
ciliated esophagus
no stomach
larvae to adult- develop new esophagus
new esophagus in lamprey because
allows feeding via oral disc with ventilation of gills
general fish digestive system
great variability in alimentary canals
J-shaped stomach
elasmobranch digestive system
stomach muscle
spiral valve in intestine
teleost digestive system
no spiral valve
0-200 pyloric ceca
amphibians digestive system
short esophagus stomach coiled small intestine short straight large intestine cloaca
lizards have
muscular stomachs
crocodilians have
gizzards
glandular stomach anterior to gizzard
part of stomach with thick muscle walls that grinds good against hard objects
gizzards
herbivorous reptiles
distinct large intestine
cecum posterior small intestine
cloaca is made of two parts in reptiles
coprodeum
urodeum
birds digestive system
crop off esophagus glandular stomach gizzard small intestine (duodenum and ilium) short, straight large intestine
birds glandular stomach
proventricuus
mammal digestive system
no grop no gizzard long coiled small intestine long large intestine monotremes have cloaca eutherians have rectum and anus
ruminants
rumen
reticulum
omasum
abomasum
ruminant true stomach
abomasum
empty secretions into buccal cavity via ducts
more characteristic of tetrapods than aquatic vertebrates
oral glands
lubricate food and surfaces
start chemical digestion
salivary and mucus glands
