• The different types of digestive system
• How to identify basic structures associated with digestive systems

Watch as a professor of animal science uses models, computer-generated graphics, laproscopic images taken within the system of a live animal and digestive tracks removed from slaughtered animals to teach about prehension, mastication, simple digestion and rumination.

Viewers explore the entire digestive system of a pig, chicken and steer to identify organs and to understand the tissue structures and functions.
