What type of system does a human and dogs have?
A
Avian
B
Monogastic
C
Ruminant
D
Pseudo-Ruminant
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Both humans and dogs have a one-stomach system for digestion (monogastric).

Detailed explanation-2: -This digestive system is known as monogastric since it is made up of a single stomach. The digestive system of humans, horses, swine, birds, dogs, and rabbit-like animals is monogastric. The digestive system is made up of the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines, and anus.

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. Most monogastrics are generally unable to digest much cellulose food materials such as grasses.

Detailed explanation-4: -The human body contains a monogastric digestive system. In a monogastric digestive system, the stomach only contains one chamber in which it digests food. Several other animal species also have monogastric digestive systems, including pigs, horses, dogs, and birds.

Detailed explanation-5: -Dogs are likely to produce up to 100 times the amount of acid than that of a human stomach. This means that they rapidly break down proteins and have little hindrance at softening bone matter or grizzly bits that would be impossible for a human to digest.
