Large intestine

Tongue: The tongue is a large muscle found inside of the pigs mouth. It has a rough light colored surface that has taste buds and saliva on it. It function is to help the pig with swallowing its food by pushing it to the back of the pig’s mouth and down the esophagus. The tongue is a part of the digestive system because it aids in the digestion of food. Saliva: The saliva is found all throughout the pigs digestive system but mainly in the mouth. It is a clear liquid that functions as a…

are being situated at the edge and this is between the lumen of the intestine and the blood and other tissues which are inside our body. The area of the apical luminal surface of the epithelial cell is greatly increased when brush border is present. The basal side of the cells rests on a very thin basement membrane; this is extremely close to the basement membrane of the underlying…

The mouth which is also called the oral cavity is associated with the accessory organs such as teeth, salivary glands, and tongue. The mouth is where digestion starts. Our teeth are used to chew food into really small pieces and our saliva contains enzymes that begins the process of digestion. Our tongue occupies the floor of the mouth and mixes food with saliva to form bolus which is a compact mass that forms food into a lump that helps initiates swallowing. The mouth begins the process of…

Heterotrophs are sectioned off into three different categories based on their intake of food. Heterotrophs are organisms that use organic compounds for energy and carbon. Herbivores, being animals that eat plants are; algae-eating snails, sapsucking insects, and vertebrates such as cows, horses, rabbits, and sparrows. Carnivores, animals who eat other animals; crabs, squid, many insects, cats, eagles, trout, and frogs. Omnivores, animals who eat both plants and other animals are; humans, pigs,…

third innermost oblique layer relates to the function of the stomach because it is the smooth muscle that is responsible for the churning function of the stomach that aids in its ability to digestive and move food from the stomach into the small intestine. The gastroesophageal junction is the junction between the esophagus and the stomach. The epithelium changes from…

• Small intestine: Most of the digestion takes place in the small intestine. Between the stomach and the large intestine. • Large intestine: The final section of the GI, main function absorbs remaining water & vitamins left over from the small intestine. Then transfer waste material into feces. The accessory digestive organs act as an assistant that helps to breakdown food, consist…

of digestion is somewhat of the inverse of hind-gut fermentation. There is a large fore-gut where the majority of digestion occurs that is then followed relatively smaller hind-gut. For this process to work ruminants are an equipped with a polygastric stomach which is separated in to four distinct sections by membranous structure with in the stomach. Following the transport of digesta first there is the rumen the larges part of the stomach being able to hold as much as 50 gallons of fluid and…

tract. This (GI) tract is a bunch of organs that are mainly hollowed and they twist in a tube-like shape. This tube goes all the way from the mouth to the anus. The organs that make this up is the: -mouth - esophagus -small intestine -large intestine -and the stomach How does it work? Food first enters through the mouth. The mouth is also called or known as the oral cavity. Next the teeth and saliva in your mouth work together. Your saliva makes the food very moist…

Crohn’s disease is defined as a “transmural inflammatory process.”1 Crohn’s disease is one of the two forms of inflammatory bowel disease.2 Crohn’s disease most commonly affects the end of the ileum, which is the last part of the small intestine. Although, it can occur anywhere throughout the entirety of the gastrointestinal tract.1 Typically, there are areas of the gastrointestinal tract that are normal, but these segments are separated by areas of the gastrointestinal tract that have damage.…

enzymes enter the small intestines duodenum via the pancreatic duct. The polypeptides are further broken down into smaller substances called peptides (Primal Pictures). Peptides are two or more amino acids linked together. After the complete digestion of the chicken’s protein has taken place, the amino acids are absorbed through the small intestine lining and into the bloodstream. Lipids, which can also be found in chicken and rice, are digested and absorbed by the small intestine. Bile salts…
