Chapter 23.12, Problem 1CR
Summary Introduction
Ruminants are mammalian animals that are foregut fermenters. Some of them are domestic animals. The rumen is the digestive organ that ferment and digest large sized food particles known as cud. These animals obtain nutrients from a plant based food or plants as such. The rumen contains a warm as well as a constant temperature range of 39°C. Amino acids and vitamins are present in the rumen that are synthesized by its normal flora.

How does gastrointestinal tract evade dehydration?
1)
Alternating wave-like contraction and relaxatio of the oral (mouth) muscles reabsorbs water which will be transported to the urinary system
2) water is an important digestive enzyme in the stomach.
3) Normal peristaltic movements in the large intestine ensure reabsorption of water that will be delivered to the circulatory system.
4) the water we drink will be mostly absord by the blood vessels attached to the esophagus and stomach.
