Duck gizzard is the gizzard of duck. The stomach of birds is divided into the glandular stomach (abomasum, gIandular stomach) and the gizzard (gizzard, muscular stomach). The glandular stomach has a thin wall, and parietal cells secrete gastric acid and various digestive enzymes to soak and digest food.

The gizzard has a well-developed muscle wall, and the inner wall is covered with a hard cuticle (the Chinese medicine is called Neijin, Gallus gallinae, duck gizzard), and the inner cavity contains some small sand grains (swallowed by birds) ), which function like teeth and are used to grind food.
