Front 6

Placental e.g. human, dog, cow
Monotremes (eggs) e.g. platypus
Marsupial (pouched) e.g. kangaroo

Front 12

Caecum

Back 12

Located before the large intestine and after the small intestine.
Undigested cellulose is digested here.
Micro-organisms release cellulase to digest cellulose.
Contains HCl

Front 13

Difference between herbivore's and carnivore's digestive system

Back 13

Herbivore:
Longer because cellulose is hard to digest
Rougher to increase surface area for absorption.
Has a caecum.

Front 14

What is the benefit of a bony pad at the front of the upper jaw of a sheep/cattle/goats?
