Alimentary canal Mouth: teeth Stomach Small intestine Large intestine
Saliva: amylase breaks starches Stomach Pepsinogen to pepsin by acids Pepsin breaks down proteins Small intestine Microvilli. Most nutrients absorbed Large intestine Most water reabsorbed

Birds: crop: esoph. Pouch w/ bacteria and protists Gizzard: other pouch w/ small rocks to grind food. No teeth. Horses: cecum. Pouch in intestine Ruminants: cattle, sheep Actually get nutrients from consuming the symbiotic bacteria and protists
