Pharynx • Behind mouth • Houses gills • Gill arches may be equipped with inwardly directing projections called gill rakers that aid in filtering food from the water
Esophagus, Stomach, and Intestine • The esophagus is short and contains taste buds • The stomach functions in storage • Pyloric caeca secrete digestive enzymes. • Carnivores have short intestines, herbivores have long intestines. • The intestine functions in the digestion of nutrients
