Document Summary
Unit objectives: describe embryonic origin of alimentary canal divisions. Egg is divided into two layers of cells endoderm and ectoderm. These two mold and bend and eventually fuse. The endoderm becomes the midgut and the ectoderm houses the fore and hind gut: draw and label generalized alimentary canal and describe function of each component. Pharynx- muscular tube that pushes food into esophagus. Crop- stores food and adds digestive enzymes from the midgut. Gastric caeca- add surface area for more nutrient absorption. Ventriculus- adds most enzymes for digestion and absorbs nutrients from food. Malpighian tubules- pulls nitrogenous waste from hemolymph and turns it into a semi solid called uric acid which is changed to urea and added to fecal pellets. Rectum- posterior hind gut and pulls water from the fecal pellets. Anus- expels fecal pellets: draw and label generalized insect circulatory system and describe circulation pattern.
