  1. What type of system is this?

  2. Monogastric (Non-Ruminant) Digestive System Created by: Arlene Barrett, Dennis Bratton, Mariah Gumphry, Haley Vrazel

  3. Objectives • Evaluate animals that are monogastric. • Analyze the components of a monogastric stomach. • Interpret the parts and functions of monogastric digestive system • Analyze the enzymes in a monogastic.

  4. What is Digestion? 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.

  5. Simple Stomach Humans, swine, rabbits, chickens and horses all have a simple stomach, which is also known as a monogastric digestive system.

  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. Digestive Tract of the Monogastric Mammal

  8. 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

  9. Monogastric Stomach The monogastric stomach is very acidic pH drops to 2.0-3.5 Amylase quits working due to low pH Has a mucus lining to protect the stomach from digesting itself Made of smooth muscle to aid in constant churning/mixing

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

  11. 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
