Answer:

Option A, C, and D are correct

A. Horses will chew 1 kg of hay longer than 1 kg of grain

C. Saliva is an important buffer of acid in the stomach

D. Teeth wear more rapidly in grazing than browsing animals

Explanation:

•Horses chewing patterns vary, they chew their feeds in different ways. The mouth of a horse makes larger movements and slower movements when chewing hay, compared to when chewing grains. When a horse is chewing hay, it takes more time than when chewing grains, considering both the hay and grain are of the same quantity.

•Saliva tends to help neutralize acid in the stomach, it also helps heal gastroesophageal ulcers. Saliva has a very strong buffering ability against acid in the stomach. So, we can say saliva is an important buffer of acid in the stomach.

•Grazing animals are animals that feed on low grass, while browsing animals are animals that eat high growing leaves. The teeth of grazing animals such as horse, have crowns that grow to help the constant grazing which makes it wear more rapidly than the teeth of browsing animals such to as dogs and cats. To care for the teeth of grazing animals, filing is done instead of cleaning.

•Horses do not salivate in anticipation of a meal, instead, horses produce saliva when there is food in their mouth.

Why the red blood cell In the embryo produced mainly in the liver, instead of the bone marrow ...?

Katyanochek1 [597]

In the human embryo, the first site of blood formation is the yolk sac. Later in embryonic life, the liver becomes the most important red blood cell-forming organ, but it is soon succeeded by the bone marrow, which in adult life is the only source of both red blood cells and the granulocytes. Their job is to transport oxygen to the body's tissues in exchange for carbon dioxide, which is carried to and eliminated by the lungs. Red blood cells are formed in the red bone marrow of bones. Stem cells in the red bone marrow called hemocytoblasts give rise to all of the formed elements in blood. Erythroid (red blood) cells are the first cell type to be specified in the postimplantation mammalian embryo and serve highly specialized, essential functions throughout gestation and postnatal life. The existence of 2 developmentally and morphologically distinct erythroid lineages, primitive (embryonic) and definitive (adult), was described for the mammalian embryo more than a century ago. Cells of the primitive erythroid lineage support the transition from rapidly growing embryo to fetus, whereas definitive erythrocytes function during the transition from fetal life to birth and continue to be crucial for a variety of normal physiologic processes. Over the past few years, it has become apparent that the ontogeny and maturation of these lineages are more complex than previously appreciated. In this review, we highlight some common and distinguishing features of the red blood cell lineages and summarize advances in our understanding of how these cells develop and differentiate throughout mammalian ontogeny.
