  • enzyme produced in an inactive form in cells
  • exported to a new location to be activated later

Q

Rumination

A
  • chewing cud, or regurgitated food material

Process of rumination

  • regurgitates plant material
  • rechews (further decreases particle size)
  • resalivates
  • reswallows the bolus

Ex: common strategy for prey animals, ruminants partake in this (herbivore mammals and toed or hooved animals)

Q

Connective tissue

A
  • one of the 4 types of tissue that participate in digestion
  • connects things
  • **cells do not touch each other (big diff btw all other tissue types)
  • space between the cells are called the matrix

Ex:

  • bone cells are separated by a hard matrix with calcium in it
  • nose cartilage has a protein matrix, soft matrix more flexible
  • blood cells (red/white bc) are separated by the plasma in the blood

Q

Hardware disease

A
  • lots of Blood in the thoracic cavity, bleeds out

Possible Cause:

  • heavy objects/things animal consume drop into the reticulum
  • so if an animal eats a sharp piece of metal it can pierce the reticulum, diaphragm and the heart(aorta) - thus causing a bleed out

Q

Salivation

A
  • part of process of digestion in the mouth or oral cavity
  • saliva is produced in salivary glands (ducted)
  • saliva used for solubility, lubrication, alkaline buffering (ruminants)
    Ex: saliva is rich in bicarbonate, which buffers the large quantity of acid produced in the rumen, critical for maintenance of rumen Ph

A
  • blockage of the flow of lymphatic vessels leads to severe edema
  • edema -> gross enlargement of an area of the body

Q

After a high protein meal what happens?

A
  • you produce lots of H+ and pepsinogen to deal with the protein
  • so you have a lot of bicarbonate that goes into the blood
  • blood leaving the stomach is alkaline (ALKALINE TIDE) (ph>7.2)

Ex: cats are affected by this Bc calcium is most soluble in acid. So alkaline blood promotes kidney stones as calcium precipitates in the kidney.

Q

Pharynx and the 7 openings into and out of it

A
  • common passageway for air, food, liquid
  • behind the mouth/oral cavity
  • leads to esophagus or trachea
    7 openings into and out of it
    1) oral cavity
    2) esophagus (leads to stomach)
    3) larynx (open to primary bronchi goes to lungs)
  • epiglottis covers opening to the larynx
    4) nasal passages (2)- from internal nares (lead to bronchi)
    5) Eustachian tubes(2) lead to cavity of middle ear
  • permits the equalization of pressure on each side of ear drum (ear pop on plane)

Q

Bloat

A
  • occurs in the rumen
  • instead of one large bubble, frothy mix of small bubbles
  • the stomach presses against the diaphragm and makes it harder to breathe
  • anti bloat compounds increase surface tension to form large bubbles
  • deflate(release gasses) with a trocar (hollow tube)

Examples:
Colic in horses
Gastric Dilatation-Volvulus(GDV) in dogs
Displaced abomasum (common after partition in cattle)

Q

Sugar and amino acid absorption

A
  • go through a portal blood system
  • 2 capillary beds in series, not in parallel and not separated by the heart
  • capillary beds are in different systems
  • efficient at pickup and delivery of nutrients/ material without having to go all the way back to the heart can go straight to other system
  • makes concentrated in the blood and can deliver concentrated to nearby system instead of going back to the heart where it will mix with blood from all over body and dilute then get delivered *

Ex: from cap bed in SI straight to cap bed in liver

Q

Positive feedback loop

A
  • more rare*
    Ex: blood clotting, parturition (birthing, farrowing piglets, calving cows, foaling horses)
  • when reach a set point it keeps going above the set point
  • once it starts it feeds on it to build up and do more maximizing and amplifying itself

Ex:

  • blood clotting-> once clotting starts wants to clot until bleed stops
  • parturition-> once a female starts contracting wants to expel fetus, so the contractions become stronger and more frequent, it escalates

Q

Taste buds

A
  • on the tongue(lingual) papillae (receptors, raised bumps on tongue, or the sense of taste)
  • receptors that sense our external environment

Humans have 5 recognized tastes/receptors

1) salt
2) sweet
3) bitter
4) sour
5) umami (MSG) Asian flavor

Ex: cats have only one of the 2 sugar receptors which is why they don’t beg for treats like dogs

  • birds have very few receptors
  • protect us from eating poisons or toxins Bc bitter
  • put white bread dry on your tongue and then it will start to taste sweet Bc saliva has amylase that breaks down complex sugars to simple sugars which now go through the pore and stimulate the sweet tooth

Diffusion

A

  • occurs in solvents, in gases (air) and in solids

Direct correlation

  • temperature (temp inc diffusion inc),
  • concentration difference inc rate,
  • x-sectional area (larger the area, faster rate of diffusion Bc more space to go)
Indirect correlation (as these go up diff goes down) - distance (greater distance slower rate)
- molecular weight (bigger molecules move slower)

Carrier Mediated Transport

A
  • form of active transport
  • requires energy (ATP) and carrier
  • ATP= Adenosine Triphosphate
  • if potassium attaches to a carrier it will flip and release K+ inside
  • then will take a sodium Na+ and flip back and release the sodium
  • the carrier moves across the cell faster and **going against a concentration gradient!
    (Even if a lot of potassium inside the cell can FORCE more in, diffusion wouldn’t allow that)
  • amino acids and glucose also move across cell membranes through this method

Q

Stomach enzymes

A

1) zymogen- pepsinogen
- inactive enzyme produced in the cells

2) Activate Enzyme - pepsin
- a protease (involved in the breakdown of proteins)
- activated in the lumen

3) rennin - coagulates milk protein ONLY IN RUMINANTS
- casein is milk protein, young ruminant animals produce rennin to coagulate casein (forms jello like clump)
- casein under influence of rennin complexed with calcium and forms calcium paracaseinate (blob of milk protein in calf, fawns stomach)
- pepsin is what breaks down the calcium paracaseinate

IN monogastrics - acid causes casein to precipitate out of solution

  • converted from pepsinogen to pepsin by acid hydrogenized which is why stomach is acidic
  • acid creates an environment where pepsinogen gets activated to pepsin and can break down proteins

Teeth of adult horses and cheek teeth of ruminants

A

Q

Lipid Absorption steps

A
  • in the small intestine

1) stabilizing the globules of lipid
- bile acids (coming from the liver or gall bladder) intercalate, or attach, to the lipids
- lipids have a hydrophilic face out and a hydrophobic chain tube
- hydrophobic part is in the lipid
- hydrophilic part is outside

2) break down/hydrolysis of triglyceride
- pancreatic lipase (enzyme that breaks down lipids and is water soluble)
- bonds to hydrophilic face
- cleaves off outer hydrophobic tube and produces 2 free fatty acids and a monoglyceride (1 long chain fatty acid attached)

3) form micelles
- micelles bump into brush border (has many villi aka SA) and FFA and monoglycerides diffuse into eneterocytes
- within the Enterocytes the triglycerides can resynthesize, they were too large before so body had to break it down out and can enter the cell through enterocytes
- within enterocytes combine with cholesterol, lipoproteins and other lipids and form a big mass called a chylomicron
- chylomicron goes to the Golgi body
- Golgi body puts a membrane around it to help it exit the basal side of the enterocyte into the interstitial fluid
- basolatereal cell membrane released by exocytosis
- have a lacteal

4) chylomicron goes to the lymph that leaves the small intestine goes through the lymphatic system
- lymph enters cardiovascular system near the heart
