Digestive pys 2 Flashcards
what is a bolus formation and how does it work
bolus of ingested feed –> transported back to the mouth for additend mastication
what is energy.
carbohydrates
what are carbohydrates
energy subs - monochaserdes, disaccharides, polysaccharides (ex. glucose polymers)
what is starch
storage form of glucose for plants
what is cellulose
( storage form of glucose for plants
what is glycogen
storage form of glucose for animals
what do volatile fatty acids(vfa) do
they play the primary role as an energy substrate
microbial contributions
energy - VFA (80%)
protein- amino acids
vitamins- b- complex
what does the omasum do ?
strains or sorts materials between the rumen and resorts gastrointestinal tract
what does the abomasum do ?
gastric stomach with chemical digestion
proximal small intestine
digestion and absorption
distal small intestine
absorption of nutrients
cecum
microbial digestion
large intestine
H2O metabolism
how do we establish microbial population
coprophagy
what is an avian ?
modified monogastric
what does the mouth of an avian do ?
prehension no mastication no chemical digestion
what does the esophagus of an avian do ?
one way transports from the mouth to the crop
what is a crop
pouch outside body cantis, storage + mild chemical digestion- soften
what is the proventriculus
chemical digestion and gastric stomach
what is the gizzard
mastiation, mechanical digestion
what is grit
small rocks. hard surfaces to go in mechanical digestion provides minerals
what does the small intestine do in an avian
absorption/ digestion
what does the ceca do in an avian
storage of urine and defecation
what does the large intestine do in an avian
h2o metabolism
