  2. Proventriculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proventriculus

    The proventriculus is a standard part of avian anatomy, and is a rod shaped organ, located between the esophagus and the gizzard of most birds. [2] It is generally a glandular part of the stomach that may store and/or commence digestion of food before it progresses to the gizzard. [3]

  3. Ruminant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruminant

    Fermentation is crucial to digestion because it breaks down complex carbohydrates, such as cellulose, and enables the animal to use them. Microbes function best in a warm, moist, anaerobic environment with a temperature range of 37.7 to 42.2 °C (99.9 to 108.0 °F) and a pH between 6.0 and 6.4.

  4. Monogastric - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monogastric

    These are subdivided into two groups based on the relative size of various digestive organs in relationship to the rest of the system: colonic fermenters tend to be larger species such as horses and rhinos, and cecal fermenters are smaller animals such as rabbits and rodents. [4]

  5. Omasum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omasum

    The ruminant digestive system. The omasum, also known as the green, [1] the fardel, [1] the manyplies [1] and the psalterium, [1] is the third compartment of the stomach in ruminants. The omasum comes after the rumen and reticulum and before the abomasum. Different ruminants have different omasum structures and function based on the food that ...

  6. Gizzard - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gizzard

    Gizzard of a chicken. The gizzard, also referred to as the ventriculus, gastric mill, and gigerium, is an organ found in the digestive tract of some animals, including archosaurs (birds and other dinosaurs, crocodiles, alligators, pterosaurs), earthworms, some gastropods, some fish, and some crustaceans.

  7. Gastrointestinal tract - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastrointestinal_tract

    Approximately 20,000 protein coding genes are expressed in human cells and 75% of these genes are expressed in at least one of the different parts of the digestive organ system. [ 25 ] [ 26 ] Over 600 of these genes are more specifically expressed in one or more parts of the GI tract and the corresponding proteins have functions related to ...

  8. Rumen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumen

    The rumen, also known as a paunch, is the largest stomach compartment in ruminants. [1] The rumen and the reticulum make up the reticulorumen in ruminant animals. [2]The diverse microbial communities in the rumen allows it to serve as the primary site for microbial fermentation of ingested feed, which is often fiber-rich roughage typically indigestible by mammalian digestive systems.

  9. Abomasum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abomasum

    The ruminant digestive system. The abomasum, also known as the maw, [1] rennet-bag, [1] or reed tripe, [1] is the fourth and final stomach compartment in ruminants. It secretes rennet, which is used in cheese creation. The word abomasum (ab-"away from" + omasum "intestine of an ox") is from Neo-Latin and it was first used in English in 1706.
