    Solution

    The proventriculus in chickens is equivalent to the glandular stomach in humans, where the initial stages of digestion take place through the action of digestive juices secreted by the stomach walls. This part of the digestive system is responsible for breaking down proteins and preparing the food for further digestion in the intestines.
