Correct answer
A. Pharynx Oesophagus Crop Gizzard Ileum Colon Rectum
Step-by-step solution
Digestion begins at the mouth where the structures such as mandibles and maxillae help chew the food. The mouth open into a short tubular region called pharynx. The enzymes salivary carbohydrases digests food partially and the saliva juice lubricates the food to help swallow it, from where the bolus moves to the esophagus and then onto the crop. Here food remains in its masticated form temporarily. The food now moves to the gizzard where it’s grinding takes place. A valve named stomodeal is present right at the joint of gizzard and stomach.
This valve prevents the regurgitation of food while ensuring the smooth passage of food in the stomach. The food that has entered the stomach are treated by the digestive enzymes created by the gastric caeca. The enzymes involved are invertase, amylase, maltase, and lipase. The residual fats, proteins, and carbohydrates will be absorbed here.
So, the correct sequence is:
Pharynx Oesophagus Crop Gizzard Ileum Colon Rectum
