Preferred Label : hindgut;
Uberon definition : The caudalmost subdivision of a digestive tract.;
Uberon Homology note : The bilaterian gut is typically a complete tube that opens to the exterior at both
ends. It consists of mouth, foregut, midgut, hindgut, and anus (reference 1); Although
all vertebrates have a digestive tract and accessory glands, various parts of this
system are not necessarily homologous, analogous, or even present in all species.
Therefore, broad comparisons can be best made under the listings of headgut, foregut,
midgut, pancreas and biliary system, hindgut (reference 2).[well established][VHOG];
