The document discusses the digestive system of pigs. It explains that pigs are monogastric animals, meaning they have a single-chambered stomach. It describes the different parts of the digestive system including the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines, and rectum. It notes key functions such as saliva production in the mouth, food movement through the esophagus, digestion in the stomach, nutrient absorption in the small intestine, water absorption in the large intestine, and waste excretion from the rectum. The document provides a diagram of the digestive system and quizzes readers on the parts and their functions.
Digestive system + quiz
- 1. Digestive System National Junior Swine Association Skillathon Resource
- 2. Learning Objectives • Identify various parts of the digestive system. • Explain the difference between a monogastric animal and a ruminant animal. • Explain various functions of parts of the digestive system.
- 3. Mongastric vs. Ruminant • A monogastric animal has a single-chambered stomach and a much simpler digestive tract. – Swine are monogastric • A ruminant animal has a four-chambered stomach with a much more complex digestive tract. – Cattle are ruminants
- 4. Layout of the Digestive System • Study this diagram to be able to identify the various parts of the digestive system.
- 5. Tongue and Salivary Glands • The tongue serves as the first step to generate saliva and it helps push food toward the esophagus. • Sublingual, mandibular, and parotid salivary glands all work together to create saliva. • Saliva is a watery, mucus-like secretion of the salivary glands in the mouth that lubricates the food and aids in digestion. • It contains an enzyme that helps break down starch.
- 6. Tongue and Salivary Glands
- 7. Esophagus • The esophagus is a tube which carries the food from the mouth to the stomach. • Muscle contractions push the food toward the stomach. • Swallowing is the first of these contractions. • At the end of the esophagus is the cardiac valve, which prevents food from passing from the stomach back into the esophagus.
- 8. Esophagus
- 9. Stomach • The stomach is a reaction chamber where chemicals are added to the food. • Certain cells along the stomach wall secrete hydrochloric acid and enzymes. – These chemicals help break down food into small particles. • Particles that the stomach cannot absorb into the bloodstream pass in to the small intestine through the pyloric valve.
- 10. Stomach
- 11. Gall Bladder, Liver, Pancreas, and Duodenum • The gall bladder serves as a storage compartment for bile. • Bile is secreted by a gland called the liver, and bile assists in the digestion of fats. • The pancreas is another gland that secretes juices that aid in the digestion of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins. • These secretions are added in the duodenum, which is the first section of the small intestine.
- 12. Gall Bladder, Liver, Pancreas, and Duodenum
- 13. Small Intestine and Cecum • The small intestine assists in the absorption of nutrients. • It contains two other parts, the jejunum and the ileum. – The jejunum is the middle or intermediate part of the small intestine. – The ileum is the final portion of the small intestine. • Between the ileum and the large intestine is a “blind gut” referred to as the cecum. • There is no primary role for this in swine, but in some monogastric animals, it aids in the digestions of fibrous materials.
- 14. Small Intestine and Cecum Small Intestine
- 15. Large Intestine • The large intestine’s main function is the absorption of water. • Mucous is added to the remaining food in order to make passage easier. • The colon is the largest portion of the large intestine and plays a major role in water absorption and formation of feces. • Muscle contractions push food through the intestines.
- 16. Large Intestine
- 17. Rectum and Anus • The rectum is the final portion of the large intestine. • It is a straight tube of the large intestine that forms solid waste. • The anus is the final part of the digestive tract to excrete undigested food from the body.
