Digestion is the process by which large, complex nutrient molecules are broken down into simpler molecules capable of being used by the organism for food. 10/28/2020 5

Humans, swine, rabbits, chickens and horses all have a simple stomach, which is also known as a monogastric digestive system. 10/28/2020 6

Monogastric Carnivores and omnivores have monogastric digestive systems. Monogastric systems have a simple stomach structure and only one compartment. Some animals with monogastric digestive systems are pigs and rabbits. Humans also have monogastric digestive systems. 7

Monogastric Stomach Split into 4 parts: Esophageal Non-glandular Connects the stomach to the esophagus Cardiac Mucus secretion starts here Fundic Body of the stomach Digestion and churning takes place here Mucus secretion Pyloric Connects to small intestines Mucus secretion

Monogastric Stomach The monogastric stomach is very acidic p. H drops to 2. 0 -3. 5 Amylase quits working due to low p. H Has a mucus lining to protect the stomach from digesting itself Made of smooth muscle to aid in constant churning/mixing

Monogastric stomach cont. HCl is produced, denatures proteins and prepares them to be broken down Pepsinogen is the inactive form of Pepsin, activated form of Pepsinogen, activated by HCl Pepsin breaks down and digests the denatured protein

Parts and functions of the monogastric mammal digestive system continued… • Small Intestine -enzymatic digestion and absorption -Functions of the small intestine: digestion of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats; absorption of the end products of digestion 1. duodenum - most digestion occurs here 2. jejunum - some digestion and some absorption occur 3. ileum - mostly absorption -Bile - made in liver, stored in gall bladder, active in the small intestine, emulsifies fat to aid in digestion 12

Parts and functions of the monogastric mammal digestive system continued… • Cecum - essentially non-functioning in many monogastrics. Rabbits and horses have an enlarged cecum that acts like a rumen and is involved with microbial digestion (fermentation) • Large Intestine -bacterial activity -water absorption -waste storage 13

Parts and functions of the monogastric mammal digestive system continued… • Enzymes in the small intestine 14
