Oesophagus
Function of oesophagus
Passes food from mouth into the stomach by a rhythmic muscular action.
Chewing the food
Breaks down any left over proteins. Continues with the digestion of fibre.
Used for food storage pending further digestion. Release of gastric juices to digest proteins. Similar to the Abomasum in the ruminant animal.
Function of stomach
Used for food storage pending further digestion.
Release of bile and pancreatic ducts empty to prepare for further digestion by the enzymes that are present in the ducts.
Release of gastric juices to digest proteins.
Enzymes cause the breakdown of carbohydrates, fats and proteins.
Function of duodenum
Enzymes cause the breakdown of carbohydrates, fats and proteins.
Release of bile and pancreatic ducts empty to prepare for further digestion by the enzymes that are present in the ducts.
Food broken down into simple components (monosaccharides, amino acids, glycerol and fatty acids).
Connects the stomach to the small intestine.
Absorption of simple compounds.
Function of small intestine
Absorption of specific simple compounds.
Water is removed from the remaining food particles.
Storage of dry waste material prior to the exit of waste from the body.
Food broken down into simple components (monosaccharides, amino acids, glycerol and fatty acids).
Function of cecum
Storage of dry waste material prior to the exit of waste from the body.
Continues with the digestion of fibre.
Breaks down any left over proteins.
Food broken down into simple components (monosaccharides, amino acids, glycerol and fatty acids).
Function of large intestine
Breaks down any left over proteins.
Final area for waste to wait prior to the exit from the digestive tract in the form of faeces.
Storage of dry waste material prior to the exit of waste from the body.
Water is removed from the remaining food particles.
Function of rectum
Final area for waste to wait prior to the exit from the digestive tract in the form of faeces.
Storage of dry waste material prior to the exit of waste from the body.
Water is removed from the remaining food particles.
