Planktivore: Eats plankton
Piscivore: Eats fish
Herbivore: Eats plants
Omnivore: Eats a little of everything
Detritivore: Eats bottom goo
Insectivore: Eats insects
Carnivore: Meat (insects and fish too…)
Intestine
Length
• Piscivores: 1 x body length
• Herbivores: 2 x body length
• Planktivores: 5-13 x body
• Omnivores: 2-4 x body
• Detritivores: 10-15 x body
Intestinal Secretions
• Bicarbonate to
neutralize the acid
• Produces correct pH
for other digestive
enzymes that come
from the…
Pancreas
1. Endocrine: Insulin
for blood sugar
control (Brockman
bodies)
2. Exocrine:
Digestive enzymes
Pancreatic Islet: Insulin
Zymogen
Granules

Trypsin: proteins
Lipases: fats

Functions
•
•
•
Vitamin storage: A (years worth!), D,
B12 (months worth).
Iron storage: Iron is needed to make
hemoglobin and some enzymes.
Free iron levels in the blood are kept
very low to inhibit the growth of
bacteria.
Detoxification: Toxic compounds
from food and blood are metabolized
into nontoxic (hopefully!)
compounds.
Liver Functions (metabolism)
•
•
•
Carbohydrate metabolism: Storage of
sugar as glycogen, production of
sugar from other molecules,
conversion of sugar types to other
sugar types. Maintains blood sugar
levels.
Fat metabolism: Fat storage,
conversion of carbos to fat,
production of cholesterol,
Protein metabolism: Produces
plasma proteins (albumen, clotting,
immune function), makes egg yolk
(vitellogenin), amino acid conversion.
