 7  II,  3 |     admission of the unconcocted food into the stomach, namely
 8  II,  3 |  channels by which the concocted food or nutriment shall pass

10  II,  3 |         of their roots; and this food is already elaborated when
11  II,  3 |      which they may absorb their food from this sac, so that the
12  II,  3 |       duty done, passes over the food to the stomach, and there
13  II,  3 |       the entire matter taken as food, and also a receptacle for

18  II,  7 |    period are the residua of the food, which include the deposits
19  II,  7 |       excremental residua of the food may be suitably discussed
20  II,  9 |     flesh-eaters, that get their food by fighting, are harder

32  II,  17|          pleasure derivable from food, they all feel a desire
33  II,  17|          part, however, by which food produces the sensation is
34 III,  1 |          namely the reduction of food; but besides this general

56 III,  14|       shall receive the incoming food; and necessary also that
57 III,  14| nutriment. For as the ingress of food and the discharge of the
58 III,  14|       receptacle for the ingoing food and another for the useless

68 III,  14| facilitate the concoction of the food, some of them, as the Cestreus (
