Cyanocita And Domesticus Case Study

Introduction

Most organisms contain a form of digestion to break down the food source that has been ingested. As for the Sus, domesticus, pig their digestive system is referred to as monogastric, which is more common in regards to mammals. Similarly to mammals, Cyanocitta, Cristata, Blue Jays, fall in the same phylogeny as the Sus, domesticus in terms of them both being vertebrates, they share similar characteristics to Sus, domesticus s as well. (Kaiser, 2007). On the contrary Cyanocitta, Cristata contain a different digestive system, which is referred to as Avian. The Cyanocitta, cristata, and the Sus, domesticus both have extremely different body structures, lifestyles, and diet. This in turn requires their different body types to break

The bones on the Sus, domesticus are thick and strong since their body mass is excessive. (Holstad, 1956). The body structures of Sus, domesticus s is large and is generally obese. Sus, domesticus s stand on all fours and have a rather large head; the trunk of a Sus, domesticus is divided into two main parts called the thorax and the abdomen. (Holstad, 1956).

In regards to a phylogeny tree, Sus, domesticus s fall into the mammalian category. Swine reproduce many times per year, which results in many offspring; the offspring tend to stay with the mother until they mature fully. (Wickline, 2014). Besides being forced into factory farms, Sus, domesticus s has a rural environment in which they originate from. Swine are able to prosper in various types of environments, such as swamps, grasslands, and wooded areas. (Wickline,

The overall goal is to consume a food source and to then absorb the nutrients from that food source and expelling the waste in the most efficient manner. (Cullison and Arthur E, 1987). Digestion begins at the mouth and salvia is key in helping break down food as it enters the mouth, after this it is then transported through the esophagus and through the small and large intestines. (Cullison and Arthur E., 1987). Usually animals that have monogastric digestive systems contain teeth, which help the organism break down the food
