The majority of digestion and absorption occurs in the small intestine of the horse. Carbohydrate and protein digestion and absorption mainly occur in the small intestine while the main site of the digestion of fiber is in the hindgut of the horse, which is composed of the colon and cecum (Hintz and Cymbaluk, 1994). The fermentation that occurs in the colon and…

when it receives the food and contains salivary amylase; this begins the digestion of carbohydrates as well as lubricating the mouth and helping the formation of the bolus. The taste buds on the tongue provide unusual sensations of tasting the food and the oral cavity also plays a vital part in speech and other body processes. Movement inside the oral cavity begins when the food begins to be chewed up by the teeth, this then starts to form the bolus. Next, swallowing begins. Swallowing starts…

chemical changes in nature but also in our bodies? If not, I’m here to tell you all about it. Put on your seatbelts & join me in the drive through the digestion of your, rather large, pretzel stick. In your head, think about where digestion first occurs. Did you choose the stomach? If you did, sorry but you’re wrong, the correct answer is the mouth.

Needless to say, I don’t get very many opportunities to encounter ego boosters or busters. Before I was a stay at home dad and student I tried out several different jobs. One job…

We usually get ribs from pigs, but pigs aren’t born and raised in the cleanest places which results in diseases. This affects humans because we love to consume these animals. The production of ribs doesn’t benefit the environment either. As you can see, there are positives and negatives about eating ribs, and hopefully the negatives…

impede the process of digestion of food. What dietary changes would facilitate food intake for those with oral cavity problems? A common problem that may impede this process is hyposalivation. This may occur for many different reasons, including dehydration and use of certain medications (Division of Oral Medicine and Dentistry, n.d. para. 3). One result of hyposalivation is a reduced output of enzymes and hence a lack of hydrolysis. This spiraling issue may inhibit the digestion of…

Introduction I chose to write about the most versatile animal that I can think of, the coyote! The coyote is a native to my original home, Wisconsin and to my current home, Colorado! The coyote is a mammal, just like us! This being said, they are many similarities in the make up of this animal! Coyote They coyote comes from the classification of eukaryote. From the “root” of the branch, comes both animals and plants. Animals and plants are sister taxa, meaning that they branch off from eukaryote…

Functions of the skin: There are eight main functions associated with the skin. These are as follows... 1. Secretion – the skin secretes sebum from the sebaceous glands. This fatty substance lubricates the hair shafts and when combined with perspiration on the surface of the skin, it creates a natural moisturiser which acts as a protective barrier against bacteria. 2. Heat regulation – body temperature is maintained in healthy humans at 37oC (98.6oF). organs involved in heat production are…
