		The cloaca is, for a time, shut off from the anterior by a membrane, the cloacal membrane, formed by the apposition of the ectoderm and entoderm, and reaching, at first, as far forward as the future umbilicus.
		The entodermal cloaca is divided into a dorsal and a ventral part by means of a partition, the urorectal septum (Fig.
		The dorsal part of the cloaca forms the rectum, and the anterior part of the urogenital sinus and bladder.

		The cloaca, from the Latin word for sewer, is a single chamber into which pass solid and liquid waste materials as well as the products of the reproductive organs, the gametes.
		Cloacas are found in amphibians, reptiles, birds, and lower mammals; higher mammals have a separate rectal outlet, the anus.
		The term cloaca is also used for analogous chambers in many invertebrates, such as worms of the phylum Nematoda.

	New Museum: Wim Delvoye, Cloaca
		Built from chemical beakers, electric pumps, and plastic tubing arrayed on a series of seven stainless steel tables, Cloaca is the result of a three-year collaboration between the artist and scientists at the University of Antwerp, whose shared mission was to duplicate the functions of the human digestive system as closely as possible.
		Cloaca acknowledges these extremes by structuring an environment in which direct parallels are drawn between the contemplation of art and the contemplation of bodily wastes.
		While Cloaca has important art-historical precedents and is weighted with enough social and cultural baggage to be egregiously misinterpreted, its most significant contribution appears to be in an area of philosophy one might refer to as bioethics.

		Cloaca addresses both of these areas of inquiry by drawing direct parallels between the contemplation of art, the contemplation of our body and its functions, and the degree to which each are effected by advances in medicine, gene mapping, and technology.

		Cloaca is the British premiere of a Dutch play that revolves around a group of 40-something friends looking back in disillusionment at the compromises and failures their lives have variously become.
		Cloaca – the word is Dutch for a waste pipe that carries away sewage – is a play of dramatic effluence which seeps from the hearts of these four men.
		FYI: "cloaca" may be the Dutch word for a sewer pipe - but for the rest of us its roots are Greek and refers to the common cavity into which the intestinal, urinative and generative canals discharge in birds, reptiles, amphibians, many fish and monotrmate animals.

		Cloaca'' is fed twice a day -- at 11 a.m., before the museum opens, and again at 4:30 p.m.
		One of the most disturbing features of Cloaca, then, is its near-total uselessness, which invariably leads the viewer to ponder whether or not the technology employed by the machine is being wasted in much the same way that the nutrients in Cloaca's food are carefully extracted and disposed of.
		Or if, to take a third example, Cloaca came in the form of a robotic human or animal that, while performing activities that bear a resemblance to their living counterparts, also produced a form of organic waste, we would quickly minimize this activity as the neutral (or less appetizing) byproduct of a desirable outcome.

	Cloaca Maxima - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Cloaca Maxima was well maintained throughout the life of the Roman Empire and there is evidence to suggest it was still working long after the traditional fall of the Western Empire.
		In 33 BC it is known to have received an inspection and overhaul from Agrippa, and archaeology reveals several building styles and material from various ages, suggesting that the systems received regular attention.
		The Romans are recorded — the veracity of the accounts depending on the case — to have dragged the bodies of a number of people to the sewers rather than give them proper burial, among them the emperor Elagabalus and Saint Sebastian: the latter scene is the subject of a well-known artwork by Lodovico Carracci.

		Cloaca is a dark and funny play that is a powerful study of male friendship.
		Cloaca is a word meaning waste pipe to the sewer but the play doesn’t quite flush out the detritus at either end of the male swimming pool just as the characters don’t realise their lives are up shit creek.
		Cloaca features four middle-aged men, rather than three, and the target of its satire is avant garde theatre rather than abstract expressionism, but, like Art, it's a comedy that imagines it has something serious to say about male friendship.

	Cloaca @ The Old Vic, London : theatre review
		Cloaca is Latin for sewer, and has generally fecal connotations, but this fact is never mentioned in the play.
		Actually the meaning of the term is left purposefully ambiguous; Goos uses it as the matey greeting call of her main characters, four old friends, pals since university, now middle-aged.
		After the easy banter and emotional revelations that preceded, this final stretch seems rather forced, rushed even, as if there was uncertainty over how to bring the story to a close.
