What are five facts about the monogastric digestive system?

Five facts about the "monogastric digestive system" are:

• A monogastric digestive system has a simple single chambered stomach, compared to that of a ruminant organism which has a complex four-chambered stomach.

• Some animals that have a monogastric digestive system are humans, rats and pigs (omnivores), dogs and cats (carnivores) and horses and rabbits (herbivores).

• A monogastric digestive system works as soon as the food enters the mouth.

• Monogastrics cannot digest the fiber molecule cellulose as well as ruminants. That varies amongst each species.

• The digestive tract of a monogastric has five main parts: the mouth, esophagus, stomach, and small and large intestines.
