How does the excretory system work for a butterfly?
small butter-colored stains are butterfly excrement. Butterflies, like all insects, digest their food inside a tube (called the alimentary canal) that runs from mouth to anus. To eat, a butterfly uncoils its long snout (proboscis) and sucks in nectar. The food enters the alimentary canal, gets digested, its nutrients absorbed, and waste excreted.
What is another name for the alimentary canal?
Another name for the alimentary canal is the digestive tract. This system includes the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine, where digestion and absorption of nutrients occur.
What is the exit point of the alimentary canal?
The alimentary canal, also called digestive tract, is the pathway by which food enters the body and solid wastes are expelled. The alimentary canal includes the mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and ends, to answer your question, at the anus.

Is the pancreas part of the alimentary canal?
No, the pancreas is not part of the alimentary canal. The alimentary canal, also known as the digestive tract, includes organs such as the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine. The pancreas is an organ located near the small intestine that produces digestive enzymes and hormones to aid in digestion.
