Detailed explanation-1: -The four basic types of digestive systems in animals are monogastric, avian, ruminant, and pseudo-ruminant.
Detailed explanation-2: -Digestion systems are classified into four types: monogastric, avian, ruminant, and pseudo-ruminant.
Detailed explanation-3: -Modified monogastric digestive systems work the same way as a monogastric system, except that in the modified cecum, fermentation occurs. Modified monogastrics go through the same process: Food starts at the mouth, then goes through the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine to the cecum.
Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -The parts of the mammalian monogastric digestive sys-tem can be divided into four sections based on their functions. The sections consist of the parts leading to the small intestine, the small intestine, the large intestine, and the parts allowing the exit of solid wastes, or feces.
