DIGESTION

It is the chemical breakdown of

complex biological molecules into
their component parts which are:

• Lipids to fatty acids

• Proteins to individual amino acids
• Carbohydrates into simple sugars
 DIGESTIVE
SYSTEM
FUNCTIONS:
o Ingestion
o Secretion
o Mixing and movement
o Digestion
o Absorption
o Excretion
TWO PHASES OF DIGESTION

CHEMICAL DIGESTION

MECHANICAL DIGESTION

FOUR TYPES OF DIGESTIVE SYSTEM

MONOGRASTIC (SIMPLE)

AVIAN
RUMINANTS (POLYGASTRIC)

PSEUDO-RUMINANTS
MONOGRASTIC (SIMPLE)

-has a simple stomach

• Dogs
• Cats
• Swine
• Humans
AVIAN DIGESTIVE SYSTEM

-Poultry digestive tract

-No Teeth = No Chewing

GIZZARD - a very muscular

organ, which contains
stones or grit
POLYGASTRIC OR RUMINANT DIGESTIVE SYSTEM

- Large stomach
divided into
compartments
- Designed for food to
be ingested,
eructated, chewed,
and swallowed again
POLYGASTRIC OR RUMINANT DIGESTIVE SYSTEM

RUMEN
- largest section of the stomach
- Contains bacteria and other microbes to cause
fermentation
RETICULUM
-Causes eructation or “Belching”
- Also known as the “Hardware Stomach”
OSLUM
- Filters substances and removes water
ABDOSUM
- Secretes gastric juices
- Similar to the true stomach in a monogastric animal
PSEUDO-RUMINANT DIGESTIVE SYSTEM

-Animals that eat

large amounts of
roughage, but do
not have several
compartments in the
stomach are pseudo-
ruminant animals
PORIFERA (sponges)
-Rely on keeping up a constant
water flow through their bodies to
obtain food and oxygen

CNIDARIANS (jellyfish, corals, hydra)

-Extracellular digestion DIGESTIVE
Uses gastrovascular cavity as mouth
and anus SYSTEM
OF
PLATYHELMINTHES (flatworms,
tapeworms) INVERTEBRATES
-Extracellular digestion
Uses gastrovascular cavity as mouth
and anus
ECHINODERMS (starfish, sea urchins)
-With a mouth, stomach, anus
MOLLUSCA (snails, octopus, squid)
NEMATODA (hookworms,
roundworms)

-Permits one way flow of ingested

food without mixing it with waste
and food DIGESTIVE
From mouth and ends in anus
SYSTEM
ARTHROPODA (crabs, gasshoppers, OF
spiders)
CHORDATA (sea squirts, lacelets, INVERTEBRATES
hagfish)

-Permits one way flow of ingested

food without mixing it with waste
and food
From mouth and ends in anus
