Digestive System
The ctenophore uses different organs to break down food. They eat other ctenophores and planktonic animals by using a pair of tentacles that are branched and sticky. When food enters their mouth, it moves from there to the pharynx by cilla where muscular constriction begins to break down the food. The after, the food travels to the larger stomach where it is further broken down with enzymes. It moves from the stomach to the anal pore, which isn't really a true anus, but some particles do secrete from here; others exit the mouth. |
