Both an earthworm gizzard and teeth in other animals are structures used for breaking down food, but they do so in different ways. The earthworm gizzard is a muscular organ that grinds up food with the help of small rocks, while teeth in other animals cut, tear, and grind food using hard structures made of enamel. Additionally, teeth are present in a wide variety of animals, while the gizzard is a specialized structure found only in earthworms.
The organ in birds that holds swallowed rocks to aid in digestion is called the gizzard. The gizzard uses these rocks to grind up food before it moves on to the rest of the digestive system.
gizzard
The crop is a muscular pouch in the digestive system of birds that stores and moistens food before digestion, while the gizzard is a muscular organ that grinds and breaks down food using grit or small stones ingested by the bird. The crop is responsible for storage and initial breakdown of food, while the gizzard's main function is mechanical digestion to further break down tough food particles.
The gizzard in a worm helps grind up food particles so that they can be digested more easily. It is a muscular organ that contracts and relaxes to break down food before passing it on to the intestine for further digestion.
I have to guess what you mean. What has been removed to the gizzard depends on which direction you mean. On one side it is the intestines and on the other side it is the throat. Birds have no teeth. The gizzard is used by birds to grind the food they eat, much as our teeth do. Birds will ingest small stones and sand to do this. The gizzard is a muscular organ and as it contracts it grinds the food eaten with the stones and sand. The food then passes on to the stomach. The material in the gizzard is food that is in the process of being ground and small stones and sand.
The answer lies in a bird's stomach-in the lower part of its stomach called the gizzard. The gizzard does the teeth's work. But rather than teeth the gizzard uses small rocks, shells, and sand to break apart hard foods. So it is like the bird swallows hard grains and the gizzard does the teeth work.
The function of an earthworm's gizzard is that the gizzard grinds organic matter.
All birds have a gizzard.
The gizzard is a digestive organ that helps breakdown food in the earthworm. similar to the turkeys gizzard. The turkey also has a gizzard that serves the same purpose.
Why do you care it is a Gizzard :) haha
The gizzard is harder than the crop in an earthworm. The gizzard is a muscular organ with stones inside that help grind up food, while the crop is a storage organ that stores food temporarily before it moves to the gizzard for digestion.
inside a worms gizzard is the guts and a piece of its heart. him<3333
The gizzard must be tough, for the gizzard's main function is to grind and digest tough food.
The organ in an earthworm that grinds up food is called the gizzard. It is a muscular structure that helps break down food particles before they enter the intestine for digestion.
Yes the gizzard diggests the food / crushes it
Yes they do. It is behind the gizzard. the gizzard is behind the crop the crop is behind...
