foregut

The foregut (of the digestive system) is different from other families within the Muricoidea.

It can be divided into the foregut, midgut and hindgut.

The jaw is opposite to the radula and reinforces part of the foregut.

These structures usually reside in the thorax, adjacent to the foregut.

Each structure communicates with the foregut through a duct.

The transition between these sources is important as it demarcates the foregut from the midgut.

The lungs, originally diverticula forming off of the ventral foregut.

Pain in the foregut is typically referred to the epigastric region, just below the intersection of the ribs.

The pancreas forms from the embryonic foregut and is therefore of endodermal origin.

These cysts originate from the ventral foregut that forms the respiratory system.

Carcinoid tumors, particularly those derived from the embryologic foregut, occur in isolated cases.

Semi-persistent viral transmission involves the virus entering the foregut of the insect.

The Kakapo is believed to employ bacteria in the foregut to ferment and help digest plant matter.

The foregut comprises the sucking pharynx and the oesophagus.

The foregut is line with a cuticular lining made of chitin and proteins as protection from tough food.

However, it still shares the same blood supply-the celiac trunk-as the foregut organs.

The gastroliths drop into the koura's foregut where they are broken down to allow the adsorption of calcium.

These structures correspond to the embryonic foregut.

Dr. Pellegrini's clinical focus has been on minimally invasive surgery of the foregut.

The endocardial tubes have an intimate proximity to the foregut or pharyngeal endoderm.

The first section of the alimentary canal is the foregut (element 27 in numbered diagram), or stomodaeum.

The foregut (stomodeum) develops from the ectoderm.

Structures of the foregut are:

Spleen (Note that it is located in the foregut region, but is not a gut organ)

Stomatodeum (foregut): This region stores, grinds and transports food to the next region.
