It has an esophagus for the food to go down, a crop to store the food in, a gizzard that grinds the food down, intestines for the food to pass through and take out nutrients.
The crop serves as a storage stomach in the earthworm.
The crop is part of the stomach and digestive system of an earthworm. We (my class and I) just did the dissection of an earthworm awhile ago, and basically it is the regular stomach.
What goes in must come out. Digested decay matter and food. Good Fertilizer.
gizzard where it is digested
The food that isn't digested is called waste.
Most food is digested in the stomach.
increase intestine surface area for more efficent absorption of digested nutrients
It is digested the same way your other food are digested.
Food is stored before it is digested in your stomach.
The food that cannot be digested goes to the large intestine.
The food that cannot be digested goes to the large intestine.
Digested food does not go to all parts of the body. Food goes into the stomach where it is digested and then empties into the intestines to be eliminated.
