Animals with an incomplete digestive system are such in which the digestive tube consists only one opening (that is, cnidarians and platyhelminthes). The animals with a complete digestive system are such in which the digestive tube consists of two openings, anus and mouth (all other animal phyla, with the exception of poriferans, which do not encompass any digestive tube).

In animals with incomplete digestive tubes, the digestion is mixed; it starts in the extracellular space and completes in the intracellular space. In animals with complete digestive systems extracellular digestion in the digestive tube predominates.
