Comparative Anatomy of the Gastro-Intestinal Tract Purpose A resource for A-level Biology students studying the digestive system. It could be used as an extension or homework task. Learning Objectives 1. Compare and discuss the anatomical differences of the digestive tract from different domestic species and relate these differences to their functions. 2. Describe the anatomy and physiology of the digestive system in a species of your choice. Student Instructions Your task is to use all of the above terms to produce a concept map. You must clearly annotate on your map how each of the terms are linked. Then each choose one species, using at least one term from each of the sections describe the important anatomical and physiological features of the digestive tract in that particular species (maximum 500 words). © University of Nottingham Rabbit Cat Ruminant Omnivore Horse Chicken Pig Carnivore Herbivore Hindgut fermenter Stomach Rumen Omasum Abomasum Gizzard © University of Nottingham Cow Reticulum Crop Small Intestine Incisor Large Intestine Caecum Appendix Canine Molar Cheekteeth Diastema Colon Premolar Dental pad Carnassial teeth Glucose Protein Cellulose Amino acids Proprionic acid Volatile fatty acids Acetic acid Eructation © University of Nottingham Energy Caecotrophy Butyric acid
