The Non-Ruminant System • Mouth • Collects and chews feed and vegetation • Teeth • Carnivores • Sharp teeth for tearing and ripping • Omnivores • Sharp teeth and flat molars for tearing and grinding
The Non-Ruminant System • Salivary Glands • Secretes digestive enzymes • Provide lubrication for swallowing
The Non-Ruminant System • Esophagus • Connects mouth to stomach • Unidirectional • Forceful regurgitation may occur in some animals when sick
The Non-Ruminant System • Stomach • Glandular pouch that mixes and churns feed • Secretes gastric juices and enzymes to aid in food particle breakdown
The Non-Ruminant System • Pancreas • Produces and secretes enzymes • Aids in the digestion of carbohydrates and fats • Liver • Lobed reddish brown organ • Produces bile (greenish in color) • Aids in the digestion of fats • Gall Bladder • Storage sac for bile from liver • Secretes bile into small intestine
The Non-Ruminant System • Small Intestine • Secretes intestinal juices • Pale watery substance from the intestinal wall • Protein digestion • Buffers hydrochloric acid from the stomach • Digests and absorbs nutrients
The Non-Ruminant System • Small Intestine Sections • Duodenum • Secretion of intestinal juices, pancreatic enzymes and bile to further digest food • Jejunum • Digestion • Absorption of nutrients • Ileum • Absorption of nutrients
The Non-Ruminant System • Cecum • Non-functioning blind pouch found in-between the small intestine and large intestine • Large Intestine • Absorbs water and adds mucus to undigested feed
The Non-Ruminant System • Rectum • Internal sphincter which controls excretion • Anus • External sphincter which controls excretion
