Digestive systems of insects and crustaceans
• Crustaceans’ digestive system is separate from the excretory system
• Insects– the Malpighian tubules – excretory system is connected at the junction of the midgut and hindgut
![Page 25: The great Serengeti migration: A quest for minerals.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020921/551923a355034642428b4bf2/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Stomach (continued)
• Contractions of the stomach churn chyme.– Mix chyme
with gastric secretions.
– Push food into intestine.

Small Intestine
• Each villus is a fold in the mucosa.
• Covered with columnar epithelial cells interspersed with goblet cells.
• Epithelial cells at the tips of villi are exfoliated and replaced by mitosis in crypt of Lieberkuhn.
• Lamina propria contain lymphocytes, capillaries, and central lacteal.

Sensors of the GI tract– regulatory mechanisms
• Mechanoreceptors and chemoreceptors involved
• Located in the walls of the tract organs
• Sensors respond to– Stretching– Osmolarity– pH– Presence of substrates and end-products

Stomach of ruminants
• Several chambers
• Rumen – first chamber/fermentation occurs
• Regurgitate fermenting materials from the rumen into mouth
• Further grinding and reswallow
• From rumen reticulum omasum abomasum (true stomach)
![Page 44: The great Serengeti migration: A quest for minerals.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020921/551923a355034642428b4bf2/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
