The alimentary canal is a pathway used almost exclusively for the elimination of solid wastes of an indigestible nature, and the act of elimination by this means is termed egestion. |
Post-ingestive processes include further particle sorting, digestion, absorption and egestion of true faeces. |
Is not the same precaution more essential with the receptacles for digestion and egestion? |
The jellyfishes, coral animals, ctenophores, and comb jellies have a rudimentary canallike cavity in their two-layered bodies for the ingestion, digestion, and egestion of food and wastes. |
Free mimivirus-like particles indicate egestion by amebae or the result of amebal lysis, a phenomenon observed in cocultures. |
Mucus losses are also a factor in metabolic faecal loss, i.e., the loss of endogenous matter that accompanies post-ingestive selection and the egestion of true faeces. |
