Intracellular digestion | Extracellular digestion |
Intracellular digestion takes place inside the cell in the cytoplasm using the enzymes present there or in the lysosomes. | Extracellular digestion takes place outside in the lumen with the enzymes found there. |
Found in unicellular organisms. | Found in multicellular organisms. |
Digested food diffuses into the cytoplasm. | Digested food is absorbed into the cell. |
Less efficient | More efficient |
Digestion takes place inside a food vacuole of the cell. | Digestion takes place in the alimentary canal, outside the cell. |
No regional differentiation | Digestive system is made up of different regions. |
The muscular ring found at the junction of the stomach and duodenum which regulates the release of chyme is called pyloric sphincter
It plays an important role in digestion, where it acts as a valve to controls the flow of partially digested food from the stomach to the small intestine.
