What is the function of the stomach in a crayfish?
Chitinous teeth aid in food digestion by helping to further break down food to smaller particles.

What is the function of the stomach in the dog's digestive system?
The dog's stomach is where food arrives after the dog has swallowed. In dogs, the stomach is where the first stage of digestion takes place. Digestion is the process by which food is broken down into its simplest components, ready to be absorbed into, and utilised by, the body. The lining of the stomach secretes hydrochloric acid, mucous and digestive enzymes, and stores the food during this first stage of the digestive process. A churning action of the strong, muscular stomach walls mixes the stomach contents all together. Finally, when the mixture has reached a thick, milky consistency, (this liquid is called "chyme"), and the initial stage of digestion has been completed, the stomach regulates the flow of the chyme into the duodenum, which is the first part of the small intestine.
Which parts of the system started the digestion?
The first step in digestion occurs in the mouth where enzymes in the saliva begin to break down food ready for the stomach.
Why is the stomach the first site of chemical digestion in the frog?
The stomach is the first site of chemical digestion in frogs because it contains gastric juices that are rich in enzymes and acids, specifically pepsin and hydrochloric acid. These substances help break down proteins into smaller peptides, facilitating further digestion. Additionally, the stomach's muscular contractions mix the food with these digestive secretions, enhancing the breakdown of nutrients before they move to the intestines for further digestion and absorption.
What are the organs of the digestion in order that the food passes through?
Food passes through the following organs in order during the process of digestion: mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, and anus. Each organ plays a specific role in breaking down the food into nutrients that can be absorbed by the body.
Where does the digestion occur in the body?
