Which of the following is the correct order of food flow in the alimentary canal?

  1. Oesophagus - Stomach - Small intestines - Large intestines - Rectum

  2. Oesophagus - Stomach - Small intestines - Rectum - Large intestines

  3. Oesophagus - Stomach - Large intestines - Small intestines - Rectum

  4. Oesophagus - Small intestines - Stomach - Large intestines - Rectum

  5. Stomach - Oesophagus - Small intestines - Large intestines - Rectum


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

This is the correct order of food flow in the alimentary canal. The masticated food from mouth reaches oesophagus from where it is pushed into the stomach. In stomach, the food is churned and converted into semi-solid paste which is then pushed into small intestines. In small intestines, the food is digested and absorbed. The undigested food is further passed into large intestines, where water is absorbed from the undigested food. The undigested waste is passed into rectum, where it is stored in semi-solid faeces.

The function of which of the following is to push the food into the stomach?

  1. Oesophagus

  2. Small intestines

  3. Large intestines

  4. Rectum

  5. Anus


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

  3. Crocodile

  4. Camel

  5. Snake


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

This is the correct option. Camel is a ruminant as its stomach consist of four compartments, i.e. rumen, reticulum, omasum and abomasum.
