elögyomor
Elögyomor, also known as the "aboral stomach" or "embryonic stomach," is a primitive digestive structure found in certain invertebrate animals, particularly in some echinoderms and other early-diverging deuterostomes. It represents an early stage in the development of the digestive system, often present during embryonic or larval phases. The elögyomor is typically a simple, sac-like cavity that functions as an initial site for digestion and nutrient absorption before further specialization occurs.
In echinoderms, such as sea stars and sea urchins, the elögyomor develops during embryogenesis and later differentiates
The formation of the elögyomor is regulated by genetic and developmental cues that orchestrate early organogenesis.
While not directly functioning in adult organisms, understanding the elögyomor's structure and development is important for
