Monogastric Digestive System

Humans, pigs, rabbits, chickens and horses all have a monogastric digestive system. A monogastric system has a simple stomach structure with only one compartment. It is found in carnivores and omnivores. Some key parts of the monogastric digestive system include the small intestine, which digests proteins, carbohydrates, and fats and absorbs nutrients, as well as the cecum and large intestine.

Different Digestive
Systems
The three different types of
digestive systems are:
Monogastric
Modified Monogastric
Ruminant

Digestion is the process by which large, complex


nutrient molecules are broken down into simpler
molecules capable of being used by the organism
for food.

Humans, swine, rabbits, chickens and horses all


have a simple stomach, which is also known as a
monogastric digestive system.

Parts and functions of the monogastric


mammal digestive system continued
Small Intestine
-enzymatic digestion and absorption
-Functions of the small intestine: digestion of
proteins, carbohydrates, and fats; absorption of
the end products of digestion
1. duodenum - most digestion occurs here
2. jejunum - some digestion and some
absorption occur
3. ileum - mostly absorption
-Bile - made in liver, stored in gall bladder, active in
the small intestine, emulsifies fat to aid in
digestion

Parts and functions of the monogastric


mammal digestive system continued
Cecum - essentially non-functioning in many
monogastrics. Rabbits and horses have an enlarged
cecum that acts like a rumen and is involved with
microbial digestion (fermentation)
Large Intestine
-bacterial activity
-water absorption
-waste storage
