The digestive sytem of a crab is similar to that of other animals. Basically, it starts at the mouth (thought the claws are also used to food processing). The mouth leads to an esophagus, which then leads to the stomach. There is an a chamber in the stomach called the gastric mill, where most fine food processing occurs. Nutrients are then allowed to pass through a filter and on to the hepatopancreas or midgut gland. The hepatopancreas is the major digestive organ in crabs, and performs numerous functions, including absorption of nutrients. Particles too large to pass through the filter and passed onto the intestine where they will be passed out of the animal through the anus as fecal material.
