Text Appearing Before Image:
CHAPTER V THE ALIMENTARY AND EXCRETORY SYSTEMS As the alimentary and excretory systems of the Dragonfly are closely related, both morphologically and physiologically, we shall deal with them together, in a single chapter. The Alimentary Canal (fig. 44). In the Dragonfly, as in all insects, the alimentary canal is formed of three main regions. The most an- terior of these (fore-gut) is formed as an invagination of the ectoderm in the region of the mouth. Hejice its epithehum is continuous with the hypodermis around the mouth, and is covered internally by a fine chitinous lining or intima, corresponding and continuous with the cuticle. In hke manner, the most posterior region (hind-gut) is a similar invagination of the ectoderm, and its epithehum is similarly covered by a fine internal chitinous intima. Separating these two regions lies the mid-gut or mesen- teron ("chylific stomach," "ventricu- lus"') formed from the endoderm. In the Dragonfly it is the mid-gut alone which carries on the processes of di- gestive secretion and absorption. The fore-gut simply serves to prepare the food for digestion, while the hind-gut is concerned with the removal of the waste left over.
