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: -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-3: -The dog has a mono-gastric gastrointestinal tract that includes the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine.
