3. small intestine
4. colon
5. rectum
6. anus



Answer to Question 2

Ruminant digestive systems have multicompartment stomachs. The rumen can store large amounts of
roughage, including grass, hay, silage, or other high-fiber feed. Ruminants can break down plant fibers
and use them for food far better than nonruminants. Bacteria manufacture B-complex vitamins in the
digestive systems of ruminant animals. Such vitamins need not be added to the diets of these animals,
even though they are required by the body.
A monogastric digestive system has only one compartment. It stores only small amounts of food. Most
of the digestion takes place in the small intestines. Their rations must be greater in concentrates
because they cannot break down large amounts of roughage. Their diets should also contain
B-complex vitamins because they cannot make such vitamins in their digestive systems.
