- Foregut prosogaster, prosenteron fore-gut
- In the narrowest sense, it refers to the esophagus and stomach. In contrast, some people only refer to the anterior intestine, which is derived from the anterior part of the ectoderm. In insects, the origin of the ectoderm from the pharyngeal esophagus, the sac, the forelimb, etc. to the cardiac valve is called the foregut. For these reasons, the foreign language used is also slightly different.
