cardiac stomach

UBERON:0008250 ·resolve ·HOST_ASSOCIATED ·EXACT SEEDED

In starfishes the cardiac stomach is connected to a pyloric stomach which is located above it. Food can be brought into the stomach through the mouth or, in many species, the cardiac stomach can be extended out through the mouth to digest food outside the body. Suspension-feeding starfish use their tube feet to pass food to the mouth. — UBERON
