Anatomy and Physiology of Farm Animals

Agricultural Science · 50 practice questions

Functions of tissues and organs; animal body systems (digestive — ruminant/non-ruminant, reproductive, respiratory, urinary, nervous); effects of environmental changes (e.g. climate) on physiological development.

  • Distinguish the functions of tissues and organs and compare body systems in farm animals.
  • Determine the effects of climate change on farm animals.

Try a few questions

  1. Practice question 1

    A hoof, in animals such as cattle, mainly functions to

    • A.produce milk for the young
    • B.filter waste products from the blood
    • C.facilitate the process of respiration
    • D.support the animal's weight and protect the foot during movement
    Show the answer

    D. support the animal's weight and protect the foot during movement

    The hoof is a hardened structure protecting the foot while bearing the animal's weight.

  2. Practice question 2

    Bone marrow, within an animal's skeletal system, mainly functions to

    • A.produce blood cells
    • B.directly digest and absorb nutrients
    • C.pump blood throughout the circulatory system
    • D.exchange gases during respiration
    Show the answer

    A. produce blood cells

    Bone marrow is the site where many essential blood cells are produced.

  3. Practice question 3

    The skin, as an organ, mainly functions to

    • A.pump blood throughout the body
    • B.digest and absorb nutrients from feed
    • C.produce gametes for reproduction
    • D.protect the body and help regulate temperature
    Show the answer

    D. protect the body and help regulate temperature

    Skin protects the body and assists in thermoregulation.
