where is protease used in the digestive system?
the small intestine
the mistletoebird has a small muscularized stomach and short alimentary canal where the amount of mechanical grinding and chemical digestion is minimized. this enables a clear passage and quick exit of the mistletoe fruit seeds through the mistletoebird's digestive system. in comparison, the non-specialized fruit eating birds that they compete with for the mistletoe berry, such as the spiny-cheeked honeyeater ("acanthagenys rufogularis)" have a more complex digestive system that takes longer for the fruit seeds to pass and in the process the seeds are subjected to more mechanical and chemical action in the gut. it takes between 4–25 minutes for the mistletoe seed to pass through the mistletoebird. in a scientific study in south australia with the grey mistletoe ("a. quandang)", it took 2.3 times longer for the mistletoe seeds to pass through the digestive system of a spiny-cheeked honeyeater ("a. rufogularis") than it did through the mistletoebird and five months after seed deposit, 43% more seedlings had established from seeds defecated by mistletoebirds than from seeds passed by the honeyeater. the mistletoebird’s modified gastrointestinal tract is in the same plane. this facilitates rapid passage of the large number of berries consumed. comparing the frugivore mistletoebird with a similar sized insectivore; the inland thornbill ("acanthiza inornata)," where both their body masses are approximately 7 g. the mean length of the gizzard in the mistletoebird is 4.3 mm and 13.5 in the thornbill. the mean length of the small intestine is 55 mm in the mistletoebird and 88 mm in the thornbill.
