Digestion in the Worm

The Pharynx sucks the food into the earthworm

Peristalsis pushes the food down the esophagus to the crop for storage.

The Gizzard grinds up the food into tiny particles.

The tiny particles of food are absorbed through the intestinal wall into the bloodstream

The blood then delivers the nutrients(food particles) to the individual body cells.
