Ch 41 – Animal Nutrition
* Do not skimp on the answers to these questions – some will require a substantial amount of info.
1. What is the overall function of the digestive system?
2. What are the main categories of raw materials that must be supplied by an animal’s diet?
3. What are the major compartments of the digestive tract (alimentary canal) through which food passes and is processed?
4. What is the function of (what is happening in) each compartment?
5. Which digestive substances (enzymes and other chemicals) are active in each compartment, and what is the function of each substance?
6. Where is each of these substances produced?
7. Define the processes of ingestion, mechanical digestion, chemical digestion, absorption and elimination. Be able to identify where in the system each one is occurring.
