Anuid Organ Chart

Description

A nastay little organ chart for your viewing pleasure.

These are the organs that are doubles in nereids and taurs and possibly some harpies (harpy bodies don't have enough mass to contain double organ systems). 
No intestines. Anuids do not excrete digested waste in the posterior; it is regurgitated in the form of milky, smooth crystals. Stomachs are pumped with oxygen, therefore a live organism in an anuid's stomach will not suffocate until they are pulverized by voluntary contractions in the gut.

The longest a person has lived in an anuid stomach was 15 days, and it was in Gaspar, because he forgot they were inside his posterior gut, breathing oxygen from small gastrobronchiols (specialized air tubes that branch down from the lungs into the stomach lining) and eating chewed and swallowed food.

The anterior stomach is filled until it is emptied into the posterior upon the arrival of more food or voluntary movement. An anuid with both stomachs full can forgo eating for several days. This is often why harpies have a tendency to be voracious, as they digest food very quickly and hold less to store.

The esophagus is lined with strong cilla that move in waves to bring food down or digested crystals up.

A mention of anuids and the consumption of humans; most anuids consume or utilize human flesh, and use it to trade for goods. Live humans are less desirable than prepared human limbs and organs, which are smoked and dried or pickled. These human parts can be traded for goods such as stoneware, blacksmith items, leather, baskets, etc. Is this ethical? No, but neither is the usage of anuid parts in the human markets, so it until both of the species respect each other, this will go on.

Anyways, just some tidbits for ya about Holo! Now if only you had some comic pages to go by : D
