Students in Miss Merriman and Mrs. Shimmin’s Pre-Vet class have been learning about the four digestive systems found in animals: avian, ruminant, pseudo-ruminant, and monogastric. To deepen their understanding, students connected each system’s functions to common household items that serve a similar purpose.

Can you guess which digestive system humans have?
