What are the organs in a fetal pigs digestive system?

Digestive System in a fetal pig:

1. Oral Cavity: The oral cavity includes the mouth, tongue, and teeth. It is where the ingestion and initial mechanical digestion of food begins.

2. Esophagus: The esophagus is a muscular tube that connects the oral cavity to the stomach. It transports food through peristaltic contractions.

3. Stomach: The stomach is a J-shaped organ that stores food, breaks it down mechanically through churning, and starts the chemical digestion of proteins and fats.

4. Small Intestine: The small intestine is a long and coiled tube. It receives partially digested food from the stomach and further breaks down carbohydrates, proteins, and fats through enzymes produced by the pancreas and the intestinal walls. Absorption of nutrients also takes place in the small intestine.

5. Large Intestine (Colon): The large intestine receives undigested material from the small intestine. It absorbs water, electrolytes, and vitamins produced by bacterial fermentation. The solid waste is formed and stored in the colon before elimination.

6. Rectum: The rectum is the last portion of the large intestine and temporarily stores feces until they are expelled through the anus.

7. Pancreas: The pancreas is both an endocrine gland and an exocrine gland. It secretes enzymes such as amylase, lipase, and proteases into the small intestine to aid in digestion.

8. Liver: The liver is a large organ that performs various functions, including detoxification, storage of nutrients, production of bile (which helps in the digestion and absorption of fats), and metabolism of proteins and carbohydrates.

9. Gallbladder: The gallbladder is a small sac attached to the liver. It stores and concentrates bile produced by the liver, delivering it to the small intestine when needed for digestion.

10. Anus: The anus is the terminal opening of the digestive tract from where solid waste (feces) is expelled from the body.
