Detailed explanation-1: -Dogs. Both humans and dogs have a one-stomach system for digestion (monogastric). However, a dog’s digestive system differs from that of a human in several ways. In humans, digestion begins in the mouth, where enzymes in saliva begin breaking down starches into simple sugars as we chew.

Detailed explanation-2: -Humans, swine, rabbits, chickens and horses all have a simple stomach, which is also known as a monogastric digestive system. Carnivores and omnivores have monogastric digestive systems.

Detailed explanation-3: -A monogastric is an animal with a single-compartmented stomach. Examples of monogastrics include humans, poultry, pigs, horses, rabbits, dogs and cats.

Detailed explanation-4: -The digestive system includes all of the organs that are involved in taking in and processing food.
