Anatomy of a Fish

Special thanks to the Microsoft Corporation for their contribution to our site. The following information came from Microsoft Encarta.

The digestive system of a fish usually consists of a mouth with rows of sharp, crushing, or brushlike teeth; a pharynx; an esophagus; a stomach; and an intestine terminating in an anal vent. The several organs of the alimentary canal are not sharply differentiated in all species. All species, however, have a pancreas and a liver.
