The cloaca is a chamber that receives products from the digestive, urinary and reproductive systems. The cloaca serves as the sole posterior opening and is found in amphibians, birds and reptiles.
No. All Mammals do not have cloaca's. The cloaca is a feature in only Birds, Fish, Reptiles and Amphibians which allows urine and faeces to pass through and hides the reprodeuctive organs. Mammals however have separate urine, reproductive and faeces tracks. Being the case, in male mammals, the urine and reproductive tracks are connected together and the faeces being only separate, while in female's, the tracks are all separated.
The pupil is the opening in the iris. The iris controls the amount of light entering the eye.

Everything. The cloaca is necissarily an opening for all faeces, urine and reproductive systems.
Yes. A cloaca is present in marsupials and monotremes, as well as in birds, amhibians and reptiles. Placental mammals do not have a cloaca.
Some of the products that are discharged into the cloaca, which is an opening, are urine, feces and in some animals even eggs.
The cloaca is the opening in the skin of snakes and lizards - which leads to the reproductive organs, and the bladder/bowel. It is situated at the base of the tail.
No, humans do not have a cloaca. A cloaca is a single multipurpose opening for the urinary, reproductive, and digestive systems found in some animals like birds and reptiles. Humans have separate openings for these systems.

The cloaca is the external opening from the platypus's body, for both waste elimination and for reproduction.The platypus is a monotreme. The term monotreme is derived from two Greek words meaning "one-holed", because they have just one opening, which is the cloaca. The cloaca leads to the urinary, faecal and reproductive tracks, all of which join internally, and it is the orifice by which the female montreme lays her eggs.
In zoological anatomy, a cloaca is the posterior opening that serves as the only such opening for the intestinal, reproductive, and urinary tracts of certain animal species. The word comes from Latin, and means sewer. All birds, reptiles, and amphibians possess this orifice, from which they excrete both urine and feces, unlike placental mammals, which possess two separate orifices for evacuation.A cloaca is the posterior opening in birds, reptiles, fish and monotremes (egg-laying mammals) which is the single opening for the reproductive, intestinal and urinal tracts. These animals pass their urine, faeces and eggs as well as live young through this opening. The word actually means sewer.
