Some callichthyids are able to absorb air through their hindgut to move short distances on land.

It can be divided into the foregut, midgut and hindgut.

The excess then moves on to the hindgut and ferments in the cecum.

The pre-urine, along with digested food, merge in the hindgut.

Internal fermentation in the worker hindgut adds to its nutritional value."

Migration from the hindgut along the gut and across the dorsal mesentery then takes place.

The midgut is short and straight, with the hindgut being longer and coiled.

It is then emptied directly into the alimentary canal, at the junction between the midgut and hindgut.

Unlike the fore- and hindgut, which are derived from ectoderm, it has no cuticular lining.

The hindgut is innervated via the inferior mesenteric plexus.

The hindgut contains bacteria that digest leaves and makes up a third of the Venezuelan red howler's total body volume.

The upper part of the anal canal is derived from endoderm of the hindgut.

The opening between the midgut and hindgut has been lost, making the ticks unable to pass digestive waste products out of their bodies.

Fluid of up to 600 times the body mass may pass through and males have a much longer ileum (anterior hindgut) than non-puddling females.

The hindgut (or epigaster) is the posterior (caudal) part of the alimentary canal.

It was first described in 1995 and was found in the hindgut of the termite Reticulitermes santonensis.

Moreover, transgenics made with the mutant version of this region displayed substantially less expression in the hindgut ().

However, a study has found its hindgut, midgut, and associated hemolymph can potentially harbor known opportunistic bacterial pathogens.

Thus ruminants must completely depend upon the microbial flora, present in rumen or hindgut, so as to digest cellulose.
