Goal: To understand the basic anatomy of digestive systems.

Description: Take a visual, introductory journey through the digestive system. Using a variety of special effects, endoscopic video of organs inside a living organism, three-dimensional graphics and specimens of dissected organs, experts of human anatomy, animal science, muscle biology and comparative anatomy use more than a century of combined experience to give an understanding of what makes higher level organisms function. This program offers a comparative view of the organ system elements of different animal species and classes, including fish, poultry, cattle, sheep, goats, pigs and humans, offering a wider perspective and a more thorough understanding of the structures and functions within these systems.

Objectives:

1. To understand basic functions of organs in the digestive systems.

2. To understand the different types of digestive systems. 3.

To identify basic structures associated with the digestive tract.
