What is the function of esophagus in an earthworm?
The esophagus of an earthworm is part of the earthworm's digestive tract, between the pharynx and the crop, and it basically just moves the earthworm's food from the pharynx to the crop. It also helps to keep the food from backing up (making the worm barf/throw up).
How does an earthworms digestive system work?
The digestive system is partitioned into many regions, each with a certain function. The digestive system consists of the pharynx, the esophagus, the crop, the intestine and the gizzard. Food such as soil enters the earthworm's mouth where it is swallowed by the pharynx. Then the soil passes through the esophagus, which has calciferous glands that release calcium carbonate to rid the earthworm's body of excess calcium. After it passes through the esophagus, the food moves into the crop where it is stored and then eventually moves into the gizzard. The gizzard uses stones that the earthworm eats to grind the food completely. The food moves into the intestines as gland cells in the intestine release fluids to aid in the digestive process. The intestinal wall contains blood vessels where the digested food is absorbed and transported to the rest of the body.
The digestive organ in which an earthworm stores food is?
Temporary storage occurs in the crop of an earthworm
Which parts of the earthworm serve as its brainhow are these parts connected to the rest of the body?
In earthworms you have two pair of Ganglia, one pair under the pharynx and another above, the ganglia above the pharynx serves as the brain, the ventral nerve cord connects all organs in the earthworms.Please see related link below!
Does an earthworm have jaws?
Earthworms do not have jaws. They suck their nutrition through their mouth by the help on the pharynx and this food is churned in the gizzard after passing trough the esophagus and or being stored in the crop.

What are the parts of the digestive tract through which food passes in an earthworm?

What is the function of a pharynx on an earthworm?
A pharynx in a worm is basically an organ that a worm uses to eat. It is thread-like I believe, and a worm pushes it out of their mouth, gets the food, and eats it. So I guess, it could be comparable to a tongue in a human.
