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.

Monogastric
 Carnivores and omnivores
have monogastric digestive
systems.
 Monogastric systems have a
simple stomach structure
and only one compartment.
 Some animals with
monogastric digestive
systems are pigs and rabbits.
Humans also have
monogastric digestive
systems.

Monogastric Stomach
 Split into 4 parts:
 Esophageal
 Non-glandular
 Connects the stomach to the esophagus
 Cardiac
 Mucus secretion starts here
 Fundic
 Body of the stomach
 Digestion and churning takes place here
 Mucus secretion
 Pyloric
 Connects to small intestines
 Mucus secretion
Monogastric Stomach
 The monogastric stomach is very acidic
 pH drops to 2.0-3.5
 Amylase quits working due to low pH
 Has a mucus lining to protect the stomach
from digesting itself
 Made of smooth muscle to aid in constant
churning/mixing
Monogastric stomach cont.
 HCl is produced, denatures proteins and
prepares them to be broken down
 Pepsinogen is the inactive form of Pepsin
 Pepsin, activated form of Pepsinogen, activated
by HCl
 Pepsin breaks down and digests the denatured
protein
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

Parts and functions of the monogastric
mammal digestive system continued…
•Enzymes in the small intestine
