Nutrition in animals

2. CONTENTS-
What is nutrition and feeding?
Processes involved in nutrition in animals
Nutrition in amoeba, hydra, frog,
paramecium, spider, mosquito
Human digestive system- digestion in the
mouth, stomach, small intestine, large
intestine, assimilation and egestion
Ruminants
4. NUTRITION IN AMOEBA
Unicellular organism
Engulfs tiny particles of food by false feet
Pseudopodia joins to form food vacuole
Food is digested by digestive juices.
Provides energy
Wastes are removed by egestion.
5. HYDRA
Simple, multi-cellular
animal.
Tentacles around its mouth
for ingestion of food, then
push the insect into the
mouth
In the body cavity digestive
juices are secreted to digest
the food. Then absorbed
and assimilated in the cell.
6. SPIDER
Digestion occurs outside the body.
Weaves sticky web where small animals
get stuck.
Injects digestive juices on the insect.
Sucks up the digested food.
7. CONTD..
Frog - long sticky tongue - catch its prey.
Paramecium - stiff- hair like projections called
cilia-for ingestion.
Mosquito - proboscis - sucks blood.
Housefly - feeding tube - sucks up food in
solution form.
Butterfly – proboscis - suck nectar from
flowers.

9. Digestion in the mouth
Digestion in the stomach
Digestion in small intestine and absorption
Assimilation
Egestion
10. CONTD..
Our body performs the steps inside a long
tube , coiled structure , called the gut or
alimentary canal.
Its main parts are – the mouth, food pipe,
stomach, small intestine, large intestine ,
rectum and anus.
Organs that secrete digestive juices –
salivary glands, liver, gall bladder,
pancreas and inner walls of stomach and
small intestine.
11.
12. Food is taken in through mouth. The first part of
digestion takes place in mouth when food is chewed.
Saliva is the digestive liquid found in mouth.
Saliva is secreted by three pairs of salivary glands (
parotid , sub-mandibular and sub-lingual).
Chewing food into small pieces and mixes it with saliva
is mastication.
Functions-
Breakdown starch into sugars.
Makes food wet and slippery.

TONGUE:
Tongue is a muscular organ that helps us to eat , pushes
food towards our teeth.
Helps to mix the food with saliva and enables us to
swallow it.
Helps us to speak.
Taste buds are present. Why?
15. Food slides down the pharynx into the food pipe.
Peristalsis – Pushing down of food by muscles in a
wave - like motion.
Stomach is a J- shaped bag made up of muscles,
hold 2 litres food at a time.
Food stays in the stomach from a few minutes to a
few hours depending on the type of food eaten.
Secretes mucous, HCl (kills bacteria that enter along
with food & help indigestion of proteins) and
digestive juices.
16.
17. CONTINUED…
Stomach muscles squeeze and mix the food with
digestive juices.
These juices break down proteins into amino
acids.
Food gets partially digested here.
Food goes to small intestine where most of the
digestion occurs.
18.
19. Last steps of digestion takes place here.
The muscles in the S.I. mix food with more
digestive juices.
Liver secretes bile juice, stored in gall bladder.
Fats into fatty acids and glycerol.
Pancreas secretes pancreatic juice. Starch into
simple sugars and proteins into amino acids.
20. ABSORPTION IN THE SMALL INTESTINE:
Absorption of food occurs – villi
Villi – increases the surface area of the food
Each villus has a network of fine blood
capillaries close to the surface.
Food absorbed on the surface passes into the
blood in the capillaries.
21. Food absorbed –blood – transported to different
parts of our body, which is used to provide energy
& materials for growth & repair of body tissues.
Glucose (cells) carbon-dioxide + water+ energy
Amino acids - building and repairing of body parts.
Fatty acids & glycerol- under skin- energy reserves.
22. Undigested food moves from small intestine into a
wide tube called large intestine.
Most of the water present in wastes are absorbed
here.
Waste that is solid is stored in the rectum and
passed out of the body through the anus.
23. Hooved , plant eating animals.
Examples- cows , buffaloes, goats.
Digestion occurs in two-steps, (complicated stomach
having 4 chambers).
Food swallowed goes into the first chamber called
rumen, partially digested & is called cud.
Then goes to the second chamber where it is returned to
the mouth for thorough chewing, called rumination.
Food is swallowed for a second time & then digested in
the remaining two chambers.
Finally sent to the small intestine , for absorption of
nutrients.
