There are three possible fates for the end products of fermentation in the rumen - to be eructated, to be absorbed, or to be passed on down the tract. Select from the following which end product is matched up with the WRONG fate.
Choose one answer. a. short chain fatty acids - absorbed b. long chain fatty acids - hydrogenated then passed on down c. microbial cells - passed on down d. gases (ex. methane) - eructated e. B vitamins and vitamin K - absorbed |

|
Secretions into duodenum from duodenum
|
brunners glands- alkaline secretions; lubricates and protects cells lining the duodenum
-enterokinase- activates proteolytic enzymes |
|
secretions into duodenum from liver..
|
bile- bile salts, phospholipids, mucins
|

rumen
|
|
__= participates in fermentation together with the rumen and regulates flow of digesta

omasum
|
|
__+ glandular portion of the stomach; same function as stomach of a simple stomached animal

___ system is a route of nutrient flow that involves epithelia cells and a splanic bed; nutrients are absorbed through the epithelial cells lining the intestine. They are absorbed into capillaries which carry nutrients to the venous system and finally to the portal vein which delivers nurtients to the liver
-nutrients then travel to the heart, lungs, back to the heart, and to the rest of the body |
vascular system
|
|
___ system; lacteals/small vessels feed into larger vessels and eventually to the thoracic duct which empties into the vascular system
