Digestive system Flashcards
System for maintenance of life
Digestive, Excretory, Circulatory, Respiratory system.
Systems for movement
Nervous and Muscular, Sensory organs
System for perpetuation
Reproductive
System for support and protection
Integumentary
System for Regulation of life processes
endocrine system
Regions of the alimentary canal
Foregut - stomodaeum
Midgut - Mesenteron
Hindgut - proctodaeum
Region of alimentary canal that is lined with spines or intima, hair or teeth
Foregut
muscle for fodd ingestion
pharynx
narrow tube leading to crop
esophagus
dilated
for food ingestion
crop
to grind particles of food
proventriculus
regulates passage of food from foregut to midgut
cardiac sphincter
parts of the foregut
pharynx
esophagus
crop
proventriculus
cardiac sphincter
parts of the midgut
gastric caeca
ventriculus
pyloric sphincter
boundary of foregut and midgut
gastric caeca
primary site for enzymatic digestion
lined with peritrophic membrane
ventriculus
a semipermeable membrane lining the midgut
have microvilli and made up of goblet cells
peritrophic membrane
increases the surface area for nutrient absorption
microvilli
boundary between the midgut and the hindgut
pyloric sphincter
peritrophic membrane is made up of
protein, chitin and mucopolysaccharide
are secretory and absorptive
midgut cells / goblet cells
cells involved in the production of ezymes and secretions
regenerative goblet cells
help pump out k from hemolymph
degenerative goblet cells
absorption takes place in the
midgut
diffusion form higher to lower concentration
passive absorption
energy is needed for the transport of nutrient from the lumen to the parts of the body
active absorption
midgut cells instead of lining the surface are ______
invaginated
subdivision in of the midgut where water absorption takes place
anterior midgut
subdivision of the midgut where concentration of food stuff takes place (acidic)
middle midgut
subdivision of the midgut where nutrient absorption takes place (alkaline digestion)
posterior midgut
demarkation between midgut and hindgut
pyloric sphincter
processes used by insects to obtain food
secure the food
gain access to or select the ingestible parts
transfer them into storage or processing part of the gut
structure involved in obtaining food
mouth parts
salivary system
food pumps
skeletal and muscular components
tube like proboscis for nectar feeding
siphoning
mouthparts for housefly
sponging type
mouthparts of bees
lapping
caddisflies
silknets
mosquitoes
cuticular filters
series of hydrolytic reactions that convert complex substances to simpler ones
digestion
proteins to aa
proteinase
carbs to sugars
carbohydrases
fats to glycerols
lipase
