Question

In a worm what part of the digestive system would you see in a cross-section anterior to the gizzard

Answer 1

Crop is the part of the digestive system you would see in a cross-section anterior to the gizzard in a worm. Crop is a thin wall organ that acts as a temporary food storage chamber. The esophagus leads to the crop and the organ next to it is the gizzard which serves as the food grinding chamber.
