• digestive (ruminants vs. nonruminants)
• respiratory

Process/Skill Questions:

• How does it benefit a livestock manager to understand the anatomy and physiology of the species being raised?
• How is the anatomy of all animals similar?
• What are some major variations among the anatomies of different animals?
