The Alimentary Canal of Calliphora erythrocephala L., with Special Reference to its Musculature and to the Proventriculus, Rectal Valve and Rectal Papillae

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  06 April 2009

Extract

A detailed description of the musculature in the different regions of the alimentary canal of Calliphora erythrocephala is given, and an account of the structure and function of the crop, proventriculus, ducts of the Malpighian tubes, rectal valve and rectal papillae. It has been shown by dissections and experiments that a system of channels exists in the rectal papillae through which the body fluid probably circulates, and it is suggested that the very large cells may have functions resembling those of liver cells.
