General Zootechnics A Flashcards
According to digestive track anatomy and physiology, how are animal grouped? (3)
Simple non-ruminants
Ruminants
Non-ruminant herbivores
Of the 3 groups of animal according to digestive track anatomy and physiology, which one does not depend much on microbial digestion in any part of the gut, but instead relies on chemical digestion of food thru secretion of digestive enzymes in the gut
Simple non-ruminants
What animals are considered simple non-ruminants/monogastric animals? (6)
Swine
Poultry
Dogs
Cats
Rats
Primates
What are the major segments of the simple non-ruminants?
Oral cavity
Stomach
Small intestine
Large intestine
What happens in the oral cavity for digestion? (2)
Physical digestion to smaller pieces
Hydrolyzation of starch to maltose by salivary amylases
What happens in the stomach of adult simple non-ruminants for digestion? (4)
(1)Storage of ingested food
Hydrochloric acid secretion: (2)kills bacteria, (3)hydrolyzation proteins due to acidic environment, (4)pepsin activation
What happens in the stomach of nursing simple non-ruminants for digestion? (3)
(1)Renin secretion: (2)Coagulates casein in milk,(3)Promotes proteolytic milk digestion
What happens in the small intestine of adult simple non-ruminants for digestion? (2)
(1)Digestion,
(2)Absorption in duodenum, jejunum and ileum
What are the digestive products that the pacreas help degrade in the stomach? (3)
Proteins
Cholesterols
Lipids
What are the 14 primary enzymes of the digestive tract?
Amylase
Aminopeptidase
Carboxypeptidase
Chymotrypsin
Dipeptidase
Lactase
Lipase
Maltase
Nucleotidase
Nucleosidase
Pepsin
Rennin
Sucrase
Trypsin
What enzymes secreted by the pancreas degrades proteins? (2)
Trypsin
Chymotrypsin
Of the two enzymes secreted by the pancreas that degrade proteins, which one turns protein into peptides?
Trypsin
Of the two enzymes secreted by the pancreas that degrade proteins, which one turns protein into amino acids?
Chymotrypsin
Of the two enzymes secreted by the pancreas that degrade proteins, which one turns protein into amino acids?
Chymotrypsin
What enzyme secreted by the pancreas degrade cholesterol/carbohydrates?
Amylase
What enzyme secreted by the pancreas degrades lipids/fats?
Lipase
