What is digestive system IN HUMANS?
It is where the food passes after you eat.
Why only the starchy foods start to be chemically digested?
It's because in the mouth we masticate the food.Mastication increases the surface area of the food which helps to accelerate the breakdown of the carbohydrate molecules.Whereas in other parts of the digestive system where foods are chemically digested mastication does not occur.so foods containing starch start to be chemically digested.

What are ruminates?
Ruminants are animals that have a four-chambered stomachs designed for digesting coarse plant matter. They are also called fore-gut fermentors because one of the chambers, the rumen, is responsible for the fermentation and digestion of forage through the use of microflora in the rumen. Ruminants are also known to regurgitate and chew a bolus of partially digested matter called cud.Ruminant animals include the following:CattleBisonSheepGoatsAntelopeDeerCaribou/ReindeerMooseElkBuffaloGiraffeCamels, alpacas and llamas, though they too chew cud like ruminant animals, are actually not true ruminants. They are called "pseudo-ruminants" because they only have two forestomachs (three stomach chambers) and lack a rumen.Horses, rabbits, pigs, humans, bears and many other animals are non-ruminants because all listed only have a simple stomach. These simple-stomached animals are called "Monogastrics." Horses, rabbits and hares are capable of being strictly herbivorous due to a large functional cecum connecting to the large intestine which is where the main fermentation of digesta occurs. Not only are they monogastrics, but they are also called "hind-gut fermentors" due to this. By contrast, ruminants and psuedo-ruminants are called "fore-gut fermentors" because the fermentation occurs before the stomach--being the "abomasum"--hence the fact that they have three (ruminants) or two (pseudo-ruminants) "forestomachs."Ruminant animals are animals with a complex / four chamber stomachRuminants are those animals that are able to chew cud and have more than one chamber in their stomach. Such animals include cattle, sheep, deer, bison, moose, caribou, antelope, etc.
All ruminants have two toes therefore why are swine not ruminants?
It is proof that the conclusion that "all animals that are cloven hooved (or have 'two toes') are ruminants" is false. Swine are not ruminants because they have a simple stomach, not a four-chambered stomach, and thus are omnivorous animals. Other animals that are two-toed or cloven-hooved but are not ruminants are camelids (camels, alpacas, and llamas, for example), which are known as pseudoruminants due to the fact that they only have a three-chambered stomach.
Does moose has second stomach?
Like all deer, moose are ruminants. Ruminants only have one stomach. However, the confusion comes from the fact that the stomach of a ruminant is divided into four chambers.
Why are the members of the horse family not called ruminants?
They only have one stomach, and do not chew cud.
