Final Assessment - Fundamentals of Animal Body Systems: Digestive Fundamentals of Animal Body Systems: Digestive 9 of 20 The stomach and small intestine of a modified ruminant animal are very analogous to the digestive system of a monogastric animal. True False

False<br /><br />The digestive system of a modified ruminant animal, such as a cow or sheep, is quite different from that of a monogastric animal, such as a human or pig. Modified ruminants have a four-chambered stomach for the fermentation of plant material, which is then further broken down in the small intestine. Monogastric animals, on the other hand, have a simple, single-chambered stomach and rely on enzymes and acids in the stomach and small intestine to break down food.
