Integumentary System
The integumentary system is the exterior
covering of the body and is essential for:
• Regulating body temperature
• Balancing water
• Protecting internal organs
9
![Page 10: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Integumentary System
The integumentary system consists of skin
and skin appendages, including:
• Hair
• Nails
• Horns
• Sebaceous glands
• Sweat glands
10
![Page 11: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Skin (Function)
• The primary function of skin is to act as a
protective layer against disease, infection, the
sun, and other potentially harmful elements.
11
![Page 12: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Skin (Epidermis)
• The skin of animals consists of two layers, the epidermis and the dermis.
• The epidermis is the outer layer of the skin and contains no blood cells.
• The epidermis is a superficial covering of stratified epithelial tissue comprised of an external layer of dead cells sitting on a lower layer of living cells.
12
![Page 13: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Skin (Dermis)
• The dermis is the inner layer of the skin and
contains blood vessels, lymph vessels, nerves,
glands, hair follicles, and muscle fibers.
• The dermis is a deeper layer of dense, irregular
connective tissue.
13
![Page 15: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Skin

![Page 16: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Skin
• Coat coverings differ between animals species.
• Goats, horses, cattle, and swine have hair; sheep
have wool, and poultry have feathers.
• Hair, wool and feather are all comprised of protein
and are essential for regulating body temperature.
16
![Page 17: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Skin
• Each hair follicle has a small bundle of smooth muscle fibers (arrector pili) that can contract to pull the hair perpendicular to the skin surface.
• The arrector pili muscles are stimulated to contract involuntarily by the nervous system in times of stress or cold.
• When all hairs are standing perpendicular, they trap more air and keep the animal’s body warmer.
17
![Page 18: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Glands
• The principle glands of the skin are sweat glands
and sebaceous glands.
• Sweat glands release water to cool the body.
• Sebaceous glands secrete oil substances to
lubricate the skin and hair.
18
![Page 19: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Sensory Receptors
Sensory receptors in the dermis of the skin
detect touch, pain, heat, and cold. Sensory
receptors include:
• Merkel cells
• Meissner’s corpuscles
• Paccinian corpuscles
• Free nerve endings
19
![Page 20: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Sensory Receptors

Skeletal System
• The skeletal system is the framework of the
body.
• The skeletal system is made up of bones and
connective tissue and provides structural
support for all of the other organ systems.
23
![Page 25: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Skeletal System
• The skeletal system protects the organs of the
body.
• The skull protects the brain, ribs protect the
lungs, and vertebrae protect the spinal cord.
• The skeleton also works in conjunction with the
muscles to allow movement of the different body
parts.
25
![Page 26: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

and the appendicular skeleton.
The axial skeleton consists of those bones on
the midline of the body including:
• Skull
• Vertebrae
• Ribs
• Sternum
26
![Page 27: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Bones
• Long bones, found in the limbs, are the
supporting columns and levers for the skeletal
system and the body.
• Flat bones protect the body’s organs and serve as
an area of muscle attachment.

joint, diffuse concussion, diminish friction, and
change the direction of tendons.
• Irregular bones are those found in the vertebral
column.
31
![Page 32: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Bones
• Bone is made up of organic and inorganic matter.
• The organic matter is mostly collagen and gives bone flexibility and resilience.
• The inorganic matter is mostly tricalcium phosphate and gives bone rigidity and hardness.
32
![Page 33: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Bones
• The inner core of the bone is soft tissue called
bone marrow.
• Some of bone marrow consists of yellow fat,
called yellow marrow.
33
![Page 34: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Bones
• The outer portion of bone marrow is comprised
of red tissue, called red marrow.
• The red marrow is responsible for blood cell
and platelet formation.
34
![Page 35: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Bones
• Bone is a living tissue that changes constantly.
• Bone undergoes continuous deposition (creation
of new bone material) and resorption (removal
of old bone material).
35
![Page 36: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Bones
• Bone is formed from cartilage when the
animal is an embryo. This process is known as
endochondral ossification or endochondral
bone formation.
36
![Page 37: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Bones
• The bone forming cells are known as
osteoblasts.
• Osteoblasts develop into osteocytes, or mature
bone cells.
37
![Page 39: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Bones
Bone formation occurs at a growth plate:
• Primary ossification occurs at the metaphyseal growth plate.
• Secondary ossification occurs at the epiphyseal growth plate. The secondary ossification site is in the center of the epiphysis.

![Page 41: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Connective Tissue
Connective tissue binds tissues together
to give form and strength to organs and
provide protection and leverage.
41
![Page 42: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Connective Tissue
Four types of connective tissues exist
within the skeletal system:
• Ligaments
• Tendons
• Cartilage
• Fascia
42
![Page 43: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Ligaments / Tendons
• Ligaments connect bone to bone
• Tendons attach muscle to bone
43
![Page 44: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Cartilage
Three types of cartilage found in the body:
• Hyaline cartilage is found on the ends of bones and acts as cushioning in joints.
• Elastic cartilage makes up body parts such as the ears.
• Fibrocartilage provides cushioning between the inter vertebral discs.
44
![Page 45: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Fascia
• Fascia is located between the skin and the
underlying muscle or bone. It is comprised of two
layers. The top layer, superficial fascia, is
attached to the skin while the bottom layer, deep
fascia, covers the muscle or bone.
45
![Page 46: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Joints
Joints are articulations (unions) between
bones. Three types of joints are found in
the body:
• Fibrous
• Cartaginous
• Synovial
46
![Page 47: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Joints
• Joints can be highly movable – for example, the
shoulder
• Partially movable – for example, the ribs
• Immovable – for example, suture joints between
the plates of the skull.
47
![Page 48: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Synovial Joints
Allow the greatest range of movement such as:
• Gliding
• Flexion
• Extension
• Hyperextension
• Rotation
• Adduction
• Abduction
• Circumduction
48
![Page 51: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Muscular System
• The muscular system, in conjunction with the
skeletal system, allows the movement of internal
structures, limbs, and the body as a whole.
51
![Page 52: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Muscles
Muscles can be categorized by their:
• Function (skeletal, visceral, or cardiac)
• Activation method (voluntary or involuntary)
• Physiology (smooth, striated or unstrained)
52
![Page 53: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Skeletal Muscles
• Skeletal muscles are striated, voluntary muscles
that are involved in the movement of the skeleton.
• Skeletal muscles can be intentionally controlled
by the animal.
53
![Page 54: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Visceral Muscles
• Smooth or visceral muscles are involuntary,
unstraited muscles found in the digestive organs
and blood vessels of the body.
• Visceral muscles function automatically and can
not be controlled by the animal.
54
![Page 55: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Cardiac Muscles
• Cardiac muscle is involuntary, striated muscle
found only in the heart.
• No conscious control of cardiac muscle occurs
in the animal, but it can be regulated by the
autonomic nervous system.
55
![Page 57: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Movement
Skeletal muscles can be divided into
four functional groups:
• Flexors
• Extensors
• Abductors
• Adductors
57
![Page 58: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Movement
• Many muscles work in pairs so that when one
contracts (flexes or shortens) the other one relaxes
(extends or lengthens). This relationship is know
as antagonism.
• Muscles that work together to perform a
movement are referred to as synergists.
58
![Page 59: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Movement
• Flexor muscles decrease the angle between two lever bones when they contract. Example: Biceps
59
![Page 60: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Movement
• Extensor muscles
increase the angle
between two lever
(bones) when they
contract.
Example: Triceps
60
![Page 61: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Movement
• Abductor muscles move
limbs away from the
median plane (the
middle
or main part of the
body).
Example: Deltoids
61
![Page 62: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Movement
• Adductor muscles pull limbs toward the median
plane (middle or main part of the body).
Example: Pectoralis Major
62
![Page 63: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Attachment
• Most skeletal muscles attach to two different
bones.
• The point of origin is on the most stable or
least movable bone while the insertion point
is on the more movable bone.
63
![Page 64: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Structure of Skeletal Muscle
• Skeletal muscle is made up of bundles of fibers or
cells that stretch from one tendon, or connective
tissue, to the other tendon.
• These bundles of fibers lie parallel to each other
within the muscle sheath making the muscle
appear striped, or striated.
64
![Page 65: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Structure of Skeletal Muscle
• Each bundle consists of fibers, which are
individual cells with multiple nuclei.
• Individual muscle fibers are made up of bundles
of myofibrils enclosed in a series of sarcomeres.
They are made up of thick filaments of myosin
and thin filaments of actin.
65
![Page 67: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
Contraction
• Muscle contraction occurs as a result of a process
known as sliding-filament action.
• Each individual sarcomere contracts as a result of
the actin and myosin filaments sliding over each
other.
67
![Page 68: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
Muscle Contraction
• Energy utilized for muscle contraction comes
primarily from non-protein sources such as
adenosine triphosphate (ATP), glycogen and
body fats.
68
![Page 70: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
Circulatory System
The circulatory system includes the heart,
veins, capillaries, arteries, lymph vessels, and
lymph glands. The circulatory system is
responsible for:
• Distributing blood throughout the body
• Removing wastes
• Mounting immune responses to infection
• Aiding in regulating body temperature
70
![Page 71: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
Blood
• Blood provides organs, tissues and cells with
oxygen, nutrients, gasses, hormones, and
antibodies, and removes carbon dioxide and
metabolic wastes.
71
![Page 72: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
Lymphatic System
• The lymphatic system is responsible for
draining fluid from the body and is an
important defense mechanism against
infection.
72
![Page 73: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
Heart
• The heart is a muscle and is divided into the
left and right side. Each side is made up of an
atrium and a ventricle.
• The atria receive blood, either from the lungs
or the rest of the body.
73
![Page 74: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
Heart
• Blood then passes into the ventricle before being
pumped out of the heart again.
• Deoxygenated or venous blood coming from the
body enters the right atrium, passes through the
right V.A. (atrioventricular) valve and into the

Heart
• It is then pumped through the pulmonary artery to the lungs.
• Oxygenated or arterial blood returns from the lungs via the pulmonary vein and enters the left atrium; it then passes through the left A.V. valve and into the left ventricle before being pumped out of the heart to the rest of the body via the aorta.

![Page 77: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
Blood Vessels
Five types of blood vessels exist within
the body:
• Arteries
• Arterioles
• Veins
• Venules
• Capillaries
77
![Page 78: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
Blood Vessels
• Arteries are blood vessels that carry blood away
from the heart.
• Arterioles are small arterial branches that deliver
blood to capillaries.
78
![Page 79: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
Blood Vessels
• Veins are blood vessels that convey blood from
tissues back to the heart.
• Venules are small veins that collect blood from
capillaries and delivers it to a vein.
79
![Page 80: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
Blood Vessels
• Blood vessels gradually become smaller as they
migrate away from the heart.
• Arteries divide into arterioles and veins divide
into venules.
80
![Page 81: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
Capillaries
• Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels. Capillaries are involved in the transfer of oxygen, nutrients and gases to the cells of the body and the removal of carbon dioxide and metabolic waste.
• Capillaries have very thin membranes, so the components of blood can diffuse across the membrane and enter cells.
81
![Page 82: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)
Capillaries
• Interaction of molecules flowing in and out of blood at the capillary bed.
82
![Page 83: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/83.jpg)

85
![Page 86: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
Blood
• Red blood cells are the most numerous and contain a protein called hemoglobin.
• Hemoglobin contains the mineral iron and is responsible for carry oxygen in the blood.
• Red blood cells deliver oxygen to cells and aid in the removal of carbon dioxide.
86
![Page 87: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
Blood
• White blood cells are responsible for the body’s immune response, or defense against infection.
• There are two types of white blood cells, granulocytes and agranulocytes (lymphoid cells) which aid in combating foreign bodies, bacteria, viruses and other infective agents.
87
![Page 88: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
Blood
• Platelet (thrombocyte) is a fragment of cytoplasm enclosed in a cell membrane and lacking a nucleus; found in circulating blood, platelets play a role in clotting.
• Plasma is the yellowish extracellular fluid found in blood vessels. Plasma is 90% water.
88
![Page 89: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
Lymphatic System
• They lymphatic system is comprised of lymph
vessels, lymph nodes, lymph organs and areas
of lymph tissue within the intestinal wall.

tonsils, thymus, and the spleen.
89
![Page 90: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/90.jpg)
Lymphatic System
• The lymphatic system maintains internal fluid
balance and is an important component of the
body’s immune system.
• Lymph vessels are thin-walled and blind-ended.
They originate in the body tissue and take lymph
towards the heart.
90
![Page 91: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)

• Digestion and absorption of nutrients
• Excretion of waste
96
![Page 97: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/97.jpg)
Digestive System
• Digestion is the chemical breakdown of complex food into simple nutrients and ultimately into molecules that are small enough to pass across the wall of the intestines.
• The passage of molecules across the intestinal wall in to the blood or lymph system is called absorption.
97
![Page 98: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/98.jpg)
Digestive System
• Animals such as cattle, sheep, horses, and
rabbits, which depend entirely on plants for food
are called herbivores.
• Other species, such as dogs and cats, which
depend almost entirely on the flesh of other
animals for food, are called carnivores.
98
![Page 99: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/99.jpg)
Digestive System
• Species such as swine, poultry, and humans,
which consume both flesh and plants, are called
omnivores.
• Different species of animals have digestive tracts
adapted to the most efficient use of the feed they
consume.
99
![Page 100: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/100.jpg)
Digestive System
• Food must be broken down chemically into
molecules before it can enter the blood stream
of an animal and be used by its cells.
100
![Page 101: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/101.jpg)
Digestive System
Most food that is eaten by animals can
be broken down into:
• Carbohydrates
• Proteins
• Lipids
• Vitamins and minerals
101
![Page 102: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/102.jpg)
Carbohydrates
• Carbohydrates are polysaccharides, which are
made up of multiple monosaccharides.
• Polysaccharides include, starch, cellulose,
hemicellulose, and glycogen.
102
![Page 104: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/104.jpg)
Digestive System
• Starch is made up of multiple glucose molecules;
therefore glucose is a monosaccharide.
• Enzymes that hydrolyze polysaccharides are
named after the specific polysaccharide that they
break down.
104
![Page 105: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/105.jpg)
Digestive System
• Starch is broken down by amylase, cellulose is
broken down by cullulase and sucrose is broken
down by sucrase.
• The suffix “ase” indicates that the compound is
an enzyme.
105
![Page 106: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/106.jpg)
Proteins
• To maintain metabolic function, animals must obtain amino acids from their diet to be able to synthesize protein.
• Proteins are broken down into amino acids by enzymes called proteases and peptidases.
• Proteases break down large protein molecules and peptidases break down small protein molecules.
106
![Page 108: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/108.jpg)
Lipids
Lipids (fats) fall into three categories:
• Triglycerides
• Phospholipids
• Waxes
108
![Page 109: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/109.jpg)
Triglycerides
• Triglycerides are made up of glycerol molecule
and three fatty acid molecules.
• Enzymes called lipases break down
triglycerides.
109
![Page 111: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/111.jpg)
Digestive System
Animals can be divided into three groups
based on their digestive systems:
• Ruminants
• Monogastrics
• Hindgut
111
![Page 112: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/112.jpg)
Ruminants
Sheep, cattle, goats, and deer are ruminant
animals. They have four stomachs instead of one.
The four stomachs are:
• Rumen
• Reticulum
• Abomasum
• Omasum
112
![Page 113: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/113.jpg)
Rumen
• The largest chamber of the of the ruminant stomach
• Contains millions of microbes, bacteria, and protozoa
• Lining composed of many papillae that aid in the absorption of nutrients
• Produces a large amount of methane gas, mainly methane and carbon dioxide
113
![Page 114: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/114.jpg)
Rumen
• When an animal eats, these microbes, bacteria,
and protozoa digest the food as it enters the
rumen.
• Nutrients are then released to be used by the
ruminant animal.
114
![Page 116: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/116.jpg)
Monogastrics
• Swine and poultry are monogastric animals,
which means they have a single glandular
stomach.
• Swine have a digestive system that is
anatomically and physiologically similar to the
human digestive system.
116
![Page 118: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/118.jpg)
Hindgut
• Horses, donkeys, and rabbits are examples of hindgut fermenters.
• Hindgut fermemeters have a larger than normal cecum or hindgut.
• These animal require microbes to break down cellulose so that they can digest high-fiber plant material such as grass.
118
![Page 120: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/120.jpg)
Digestive System
The digestive system is made up of:
• Mouth
• Esophagus
• Non-ruminant Stomach
• Ruminant Stomach
• Small intestine
• Large intestine
• Accessory digestive organs
120
![Page 121: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/121.jpg)
Mouth
• The tongue and lips are used to select food
that that animal intends to ingest.
• Food is chewed or physically broken down to
smaller pieces by a process called
mastication.
121
![Page 122: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/122.jpg)
Mouth
Saliva provides:
• Lubrication so the food may be swallowed
• Enzymes that break down the nutrients
Food moves down the esophagus to the
stomach in a wave-like motion called
peristalsis.
122
![Page 123: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/123.jpg)
Esophagus
• The esophagus is a tube-like tract that connects the
pharynx to the stomach.
• When an animal swallows, the larynx rises so that
the epiglottis closes off the trachea, thus
preventing food from entering the air passageway.
123
![Page 124: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/124.jpg)
Non-ruminant Stomach
• The non-ruminant stomach is a storage
chamber that holds food particles.
• The breakdown of food particles by enzymes
continues in the stomach.
124
![Page 125: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/125.jpg)
Ruminant Stomach
• Food particles enter the rumen and microbes start eating or digesting these particles.
• The microbes produce waste or by-products which can then be used by the animal. Some of the microbes pass into the intestines where they are digested by the animal.
• Ruminants get their main source of protein (approximately 70%) from digesting the microbes that pass into the small intestine.
125
![Page 126: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/126.jpg)
Ruminant Stomach
• All ruminants are herbivores. They consume
grasses and other plant materials containing
larges amount of cellulose.
• Microorganisms in the digestive system of
ruminants synthesize all amino acids essential
to the animal.
126
![Page 127: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/127.jpg)
Ruminant Stomach
• Methane and carbon dioxide gas is expelled by
belching and, to a lesser extent, absorbed into
the blood.
• If the gases are allowed to accumulate in the
rumen, they may cause bloat (an abnormal
inflation or distension of the rumen).
127
![Page 128: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/128.jpg)
Ruminant Stomach
• Ruminants chew food, then swallow it and start to
digest it.
• They are then able to regurgitate the food and
remasticate it (chew it more). This function helps
to break down the fibrous material further and
allows the microbes the access food particles.
128
![Page 130: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/130.jpg)
Small Intestine
Absorption is the main function of the small
intestine. The small intestine includes:
• Duodenum
• Jejunum
• Ileum
The inside the small intestine is covered by villi,
highly vasculated, finger-like projections that
greatly increase the absorptive surface area.
130
![Page 131: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/131.jpg)
Large Intestine
The large intestine consists of:
• Cecum
• Ascending colon
• Transverse colon
• Descending colon
• Sigmoid colon
131
![Page 132: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/132.jpg)
Large Intestine
• The large intestine removes water and prepares
the dry waste matter for feces and finally
defecation.
• Fecal material is excreted via the rectum. It
passes through the rectum and then exits the body
through the anus.
132
![Page 133: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/133.jpg)
Accessory Digestive Organs
Accessory digestive organs are
associated with the digestive system:
• Salivary glands
• Pancreas
• Liver
• Gallbladder
133
![Page 134: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/134.jpg)
Salivary Glands
• Salvia has pH balancing properties and provides
enzymes that begin the chemical breakdown of
nutrients.
134
![Page 135: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/135.jpg)
Pancreas
The pancreas is made up of an endocrine
and exocrine gland.
• The endocrine gland produces insulin.
• The exocrine gland produces enzymes.
135
![Page 136: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/136.jpg)
Liver
• Molecules in the liver are converted to
compounds that animals need for tissue growth,
nerve formation, enzyme synthesis, and many
other functions.
• The liver also excretes bile, which is stored in
the gallbladder.
136
![Page 137: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/137.jpg)
Gallbladder
• The gallbladder is where bile is stored.
• Bile has properties that allow it to emulsify fats,
increasing the efficiency at which they are
digested.
137
![Page 138: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/138.jpg)
Digestive System (Poultry)
• Poultry do not have teeth to physically break
down their food. The glandular stomach of
poultry is called proventriculus.
• Before reaching the proventriculus, food is stored
in an enlargement of the gullet, called the crop,
where it is softened.
138
![Page 139: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/139.jpg)
Digestive System (Poultry)
• Feed passes from the proventriculus to the
ventriculus, or gizzard, which crushes and grinds
coarse feed.
139
![Page 140: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/140.jpg)
Digestive System (Poultry)
• Feed passes from the gizzard into the duodenum.
• Pancreatic juices are secreted containing enzymes that aid in the digestion of carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins.
• Liver bile, which is also secreted into the duodenum, aids in the digestion of lipids.
• Absorption takes place in the small intestine.
140
![Page 143: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/143.jpg)
Respiratory System
• Provides oxygen to the blood.
• Excretes waste gases such as carbon dioxide.
• Creates noise via the voice box (in most
animals) or the syrinx (in birds)
143
![Page 144: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/144.jpg)

144
![Page 145: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/145.jpg)
Respiratory System
• Nostrils are the external openings of the respiratory
tract that lead to the nasal cavity.
• Air and food pass through the pharynx, but not at
the same time.
• The Larynx controls breathing and prevents the
inhalation of foreign objects into the lungs.

Trachea
• The trachea (windpipe) contains rings of cartilage
that are rigid and prevent it from collapsing.
• The trachea enters the chest cavity as a single
tube to the base of the heart where it divides into
to two braches called primary bronchi.
146
![Page 147: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/147.jpg)
Bronchi / Lungs
• Each bronchi passes into one of the lungs.
• Inside the lungs, the bronchi branch into smaller
bronchi and finally into very small tubes called
bronchioles.
147
![Page 149: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/149.jpg)
Respiratory System
• The bronchioles open into alveolar ducts, which
lead to the smallest portions of the respiratory
system called alveoli.
• Oxygen is diffused from the bloodstream into the
alveoli so it can be exhaled out of the body.
149
![Page 150: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/150.jpg)
Lungs
The primary function of the lungs is to
exchange gases with the atmosphere.
• Gas absorbed by the lungs during
inhalation is oxygen.
• Gas exhaled is carbon dioxide.
150
![Page 151: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/151.jpg)
Inhalation
• Muscles of the diaphragm contract causing the
thoracic cavity to enlarge and a vacuum to be
created. The lungs to expand and air is drawn
into them.
151
![Page 152: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/152.jpg)
Exhalation
• The diaphragm muscles relax, causing
contraction of the chest muscles, which
decreases the thoracic cavity size, resulting in
the retraction of alveolar elastic fibers.
152
![Page 153: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/153.jpg)
Breathing Rates
• Breathing rates of animals are controlled by nerve cells in a portion of the brain called the medulla oblongata.
• The rate at which the brain stimulates breathing is affected by the carbon dioxide content of the blood, body temperature, and messages from other parts of the brain.
153
![Page 155: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/155.jpg)
Nervous System (Parts)
The nervous system is composed to two
major parts.
• The central nervous system includes the brain and spinal cord.
• The peripheral nervous system includes nerves found in all other regions of the body.
155
![Page 156: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/156.jpg)
Nervous System (Function)
Functions of the nervous system include:
• Coordinating physical movement of the body.
• Responding to the action of all the senses;
hearing, sight, smell, taste, and touch.
156
![Page 157: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/157.jpg)
Nervous System
Nerve cells or neurons, consist of:
• A single long fiber (axon)
• Several branched threads (dendrites)
157
![Page 159: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/159.jpg)
Nervous System
• Dendrites receive messages from other nerves or
organs.
• An electrical impulse passes along the axon and is
then conducted (passed on) to another dendrite or
to an effector organ, such as a muscle, which is
stimulated to move or react.
159
![Page 160: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/160.jpg)
Nervous System
• The space between the axon terminals of one
neuron and subsequent dendrites of the next
neuron is a synapse.
• Before an impulse can reach the brain, it must
travel along a series of neurons and synapses.
Some impulses are sent directly to an effector
organ.
160
![Page 161: Anatomy & Physiology of Animals](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021506/5876a60c1a28abd6508b6293/html5/thumbnails/161.jpg)
