Hindgut

In other animals known as hindgut fermenters, including humans - in which food is fermented after going through their stomachs - methane is sometimes released through flatulence, a fact that, Mr. Klieve said, has led to misunderstanding about his work ❋ Unknown (2010)

The outer layer, or epidermis, appears in green; the blue branches along the top are part of a network of air-carrying tubes called the tracheal system; and the posterior intestine, or hindgut, is seen as two distinct curved green lines. ❋ Post (2010)

Unlike the western lowland gorilla, which subsists on a leafy diet, we don't have a large hindgut where huge colonies of bacteria can ferment carbohydrates to produce short chain fatty acids that can then be absorbed by the body to be used for energy. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Digestion occurs in the midgut and waste is passed out of the hindgut. ❋ Unknown (2008)

The parasite develops and multiplies within the bug's hindgut, and, in its infective stage, passes out with the excrement. ❋ Unknown (1992)

The hindgut is cylindrical in cross section and of about the same diameter throughout, except for a slight enlargement in the cloacal region. ❋ C. M. [Illustrator] Reese (N/A)

The hindgut is that portion of the intestine from the stomach to the end of the body. ❋ Rennie Wilbur Doane (N/A)

The allantois is cut near its opening into the hindgut; its walls are thin, the epithelium consisting of but a single layer of more or less flattened cells. ❋ C. M. [Illustrator] Reese (N/A)

There is, however, not the slightest indication of a tail-fold, so that there is no inclosed hindgut at all. ❋ C. M. [Illustrator] Reese (N/A)

In the region of the posterior appendages, _pa_, the section passes through the hindgut, _hg_, and allantois, _al_. ❋ C. M. [Illustrator] Reese (N/A)

A sagittal section of approximately this stage, shown in figure 1A, represents the foregut, _fg_, as a shallow enclosure of the anterior region of the entoderm, while the wide blastopore, _blp_, connects the region of the hindgut with the exterior. ❋ C. M. [Illustrator] Reese (N/A)

The region of the hindgut, at this stage, is about one-fifth of the entire length of the embryo. ❋ C. M. [Illustrator] Reese (N/A)

The section that cut this embryo in the posterior region of the stomach also passed through the hindgut in the region of the posterior appendages, figure 5G. ❋ C. M. [Illustrator] Reese (N/A)

From this point the hindgut, _hg_, extends cephalad until it lies laterad to the middle region of the duodenum, then bends through 180° and extends, in an almost straight line, to the cloaca, _cl_, lying in the region of the posterior appendage, _pa_. ❋ C. M. [Illustrator] Reese (N/A)

Figure 4L, through the region of the hindgut, shows at _i_ the completely inclosed intestine; it is a comparatively narrow tube, lined with columnar epithelium outside of which is a dense layer of mesoblast continuous with the mesentery. ❋ C. M. [Illustrator] Reese (N/A)

No sign of a tail fold being present, there is, of course, no real hindgut. ❋ C. M. [Illustrator] Reese (N/A)

These patterns showed up whether the problem was in the foregut or within the hindgut. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Slight variations in acupuncture points relative to reactivity and sensitivity could indicate whether foregut, hindgut, or both were involved. ❋ Unknown (2010)
