25
muscular part of the stomach (chicken) that uses grit to grind grains and fiber into smaller particles
gizzard
26
for storage
proventriculus
27
Principally the organ where food is broken into smaller units.
stomach
28
provide mucus which aid in the swallowing | process, contains enzyme ptyalin
SALIVARY GLANDS
29
produces digestive enzymes needed in the digestive | processes that take place in the small intestine
PANCREAS
30
secretes bile for emulsification of fat in the small intestine
LIVER
31
Scientific name of water buffalo
Bubalus bubalis carabanensis (swamp type)

Meleagris gallopavo
40

Coturnix coturnix
41
Scientific name of duck
``` Anas platyrhynchos (mallard)) Cairina moschata ```
42
a long convoluted tube, which connects the vasa efferentia of the testis with the ductus deferens (vas deferens). It serves as a place for maturation of the spermatozoa before ejaculation
Epididymis
43
a muscular tube, which merges with the epididymis. It extends upward to the abdominal cavity and finally empties in the urethra. During ejaculation, this muscular tube propels the spermatozoa from the epididymis to the ejaculatory duct in the urethra
Ductus deferens
44
canal starting from the junction of the ampulla and ends at the opening of the penis. It serves as a common passage of semen and urine.
Urethra
45
an enlarged portion of the ductus deferens just before its entrance into the urethra. It serves as a temporary storage of sperm until ejaculation time. This is absent in pigs.
Ampulla
46
are paired glands, which are located on either side | of the ampulla. They produce a secretion high in fructose, which acts as vehicle for sperm transport.
Seminal Vesicles
47
an unpaired gland, which more or less completely surrounds the urethra. It produces a viscous secretion, which stimulates sperm activity and gives the semen its characteristic odor. This is absent in goat.
Prostate Gland
48
small-paired gland located on either side of pelvic urethra. This gland responsible for the boar taint. This becomes underdeveloped when pigs are castrated at an early age.
Cowper’s Gland/ Bulbourethral Gland
49
is the site for ova maturation and secretes the female sex hormones like estrogen.
Ovary
50
structure that conducts the ova from each ovary to the respective horn of the uterus. It serves as a site of fertilization and site of early embryonic development. This is well developed in poultry species for egg production and divided into different parts:
Uterine Tubes/Oviduct/Fallopian Tubes
51
portion of the uterine tube adjacent to the ovary whose expanded form is like a funnel-shaped structure. It picks up the egg when released by the ovary at the time of ovulation.
Infundibulum
52
site for albumen secretion.
Magnum
53
side for outer and inner shell membrane secretion.
Isthmus
54
Its function includes the following: site of implantation and serves in a nutritive and productive capacity for the developing embryo. In poultry species, this is known as the shell gland where eggshell is formed.
Uterus
55
the neck of the uterus. passage way of semen. It protects the uterus from foreign material. During pregnancy, it secretes a sticky mucus seal.
Cervix
56
tube extending from the cervix down to the vulva. It receives the penis in copulation and provides a passageway for the fully developed fetus during parturition. In poultry species, the cuticle or “bloom” is secreted onto the shell for easy passage in the cloaca (urodeum) or vent and also serves as protection for the egg.
Vagina
57
common passage way for the products of reproduction and urine.
Vulva
58
rudimentary organ situated ventrally to the vulva, is homologous to the penis in the male.
Clitoris
59
mechanical breakdown of feed into finer particles
Mastication or chewing
60
mixing of feed with the saliva.
Insalivation
61
formation of “balls” of feed out of the | masticated feed particles.
Bolus formation
62
process, which permits an animal to forage and ingest feed rapidly, then complete chewing at a later time. It embraces those mechanical factors of digestion whereby feed in the stomach is regurgitated, remasticated, reinsalivated and reswallowed.
Rumination
63
for prehension, mastication, and insalivation. In ruminants, this part of the digestive tract is used in the bolus formation. The mouth may also serve as a defensive and offensive weapon.
Mouth and Buccal Cavity
64
common passage for feed and air. Inspired air crosses the pharynx to enter the larynx while feed crosses the pharynx to enter the esophagus.
Pharynx
65
site of further digestion and absorption of certain | products from the stomach digestion
Small Intestine
66
site of water absorption, storage of waste material, and bacterial digestion of fiber. The cecum and colon are parts of the large intestine.
Large intestine
67
produces digestive enzymes needed in the digestive processes | that take place in the small intestine.
Pancreas
68
secretes bile needed for the emulsification of fat in the small intestine.
Liver
