Exam #1 Flashcards
Which of the following are ruminants
pronghorn
elk
Which of the following are functionally similar to the stomach in the pig
abomassum
proventriculus
Villi
- typically cannot be seen with the naked eye
- contain microvilli on their surface to enhance surface are for absorption
- make-up what is referred to as the intestinal brush border
The duodenum
- takes on a distinct S-shape appearance
- receives secretions from the pancreas and over/gall bladder
- connects to the abomasum n ruminants
Rennin
- active in the abomasum in milk-fed lambs
- important for proper utilization of milk nutrients
- used in the cheese-making process
Hindgut fermenters differ from ruminants in that they
- will typically have larger pieces of fiber in their feces
- do not make use of microbial amino acids
- do not absorb VFA effeciently
Which of the following are true about taste buds
- taste buds that detect sweet are concentrated on the tip of the tongue
- ruminants tend to have more than pigs
- pigs taste sweet more than bitter
The diverticulum
- often contains many whole seeds/grains recently consumed by bird
- does not exist in geese
The cecum
- has only one entry/exit point, and is this a blind sac
- is a paired structure in most birds
The gall bladder
- storage organ for bile
- located underneath the liver in most species
- does not exist on horses
The mesentery
- thin membrane that holds the small intestine in place
- highly vascularized with both blood and lymph capillaries
The Crypts of Lieberkuhn
- basal pockets found at the base of the vili
- secrete digestive hormone CCK and secretin
The small colon
- second (distal) portion of the large intestine
- plays an important role in water conservation
- more eficiente in sheep than cattle
- takes on a spinal appearance, especially in ruminants
Rumination
- involves regurgitation of stomach contents
- increase the utilization of forages
- another name for cud chewing
The gastrointestinal tract of the chicken differs from that of the pig in that
- salivary amylase stays active fot a much longer time
- cannot digest lactose
- has two cecum (ceca)
- has a cloaca and vent, rather than a rectum and anus
- much shorter large intestine relative to other livestock
The jejunum
- primary sire of absorption for digested nutrients in a pig
- constitutes the majority of the length of the small intestine
The proventriculus
secretes HCl and digestive enzymes
Psuedrumiants differ from ruminants in that they
have 3 compartment stomach
The lacteal
- lymph capillary found in small intestine
- functions in the absorption of lipids
The ventriculus
- lined with kaolin to protect inner lining against abrasion
- often contains small stones or grit to enhance mechanical digestion
Which species produce salivary amylase
chicken
pig
The pancreas
- anatomically lies within the first loop of the duodenum
- secrete buffers into small intestine
the large colon
primary site of fiber fermentation in large handgun fermenters such as a horse
sphincter muscle at the terminal end of the alimentary canal
anus
vestigial portion of the cecum in humans
appendix
secretes an alkaline mucous into the small intestine to protect against damage from stomach acid
Brunner’s Glands
muscular valve that keeps stomach contents from entering the esophagus
cardiac sphincter
stomach cells that secrete digestive enzymes
chief cells
common chamber into which the digestive and reproductive tacts open in birds
cloaca
scientific name for swallowing
deglutition
special name for an epithelia cell lining the villi
enterocyte
process impaired during luminal bloat
eructation
muscular tube involved in deglutition
esophagus
accessory organ not found in horses
gall bladder
mucous- secreting cells embedded in the surface of the villi
goblet cells
lymph capillary found in the villi
lacteal
accessory organ that secretes bile
liver
scientific name for chewing food
mastication
accessory organ that lies within the first S-shaped loop of the duodenum
pancreas
secrete lysozyme into the small intestine to kill bacteria
paneth cells
stomach cells that secrete HCl
parietal cells
clusters of white blood cells that project into the small intestine
peyers patches
structure at the back of the throat that is part of both the respiratory and digestive tracts
pharynx
gathering food and it into the mouth
prehension
muscular valve that regulates passage of stomach contents to small intestine
pyloric sphincter
portion of the alimentary canal that lies within the pelvic cavity
rectum
function of the esophagus not done in horses
regurgitation
Which of the following are heteroglycans
pectin
hemicellulose
which are glucans
amylose
cellulose
amylopectin
Lacatse is
- embedded in small intestine brush border
- usually more active in younger mammals than in adults
- not produced by avian species
sugar alcohols
- hydrogenated mono and disaccharides
- lower in calories that sucrose
- responsible for the cooling sensation on the tongue when chewing sugar free gum
foods with low glycemic index
- may be low in carbohydrates and high in fiber
- are more slowly digested in gastrointestinal tract
- decrease the need for insulin secretion
- may be beneficial for endurance athletes
Sucralose
- chlorinated form of sucrose
- not digested by sucrase
- about 600 times sweeter than sucrose
- artificial sweetener found in foods containing splenda
which of the following are absorbed from the small intestine via an active transport mechanism
- galactose
- glucose

- made from the leaves of south american plant
- not digested by microbes
- typically provides a delayed onset and longer duration of sweet taste
- may give licorice aftertaste
