Question

what is function of hepatic caecae in cockroach??

Answer 1

Give the location of hepatic caeca in aCockroach. ... The hepatic caeca is present at the junction of the foregut and the midgut of the cockroach. Theirfunction is to secrete the digestive juices to facilitate digestion.

Answer 2

Digestive juices are secreted by hepatic caecae to aid in digestion.

The cockroach's hepatic caecum is made up of 6–8 thin, transparent blind tubules and is situated where the foregut and midgut meet. This tubule arrangement forms a rosette. By secreting digestive fluids, it facilitates digestion.

Regarding cockroaches:

• The cockroach's scientific name is Periplaneta Americana, and it is a member of the kingdom Animalia, phylum Arthropoda, and class Insecta.
• The majority of the time, cockroaches are found in warm, moist areas like the kitchen, manholes, etc.
• They are nocturnal (active at night) and naturally curious (fast runners). Although they have wings, they hardly ever use them to fly.
• Omnivores include cockroaches. So they can eat everything that is offered to them.
• Cockroaches have an alimentary canal and salivary glands as part of their digestive system.
• Three parts make up the cockroach's alimentary canal: the foregut (stomodaeum), mid-gut (mesenteron), and hind-gut (proctodaeum).
• The lateral mandibles and maxillae, the posterior labium, and the anterior labrum encompass the oral cavity.
• The mouth cavity contains the tongue or hypopharynx.
• The pharynx, oesophagus, crop, and gizzard make up the foregut.
• Food mixture enters the mouth and travels to the throat.
• The oesophagus and pharynx connect.
• The oesophagus exits the neck and opens in a crop, a highly extensible pear-shaped food storage bag.
• Food enters the gizzard from the crop.
• A circle of six chitinous teeth in the gizzard crush the meal. With this, foregut comes to an end.
• The midgut is a coiling tube-like organ.
• Hepatic caeca are a group of four to six finger-like structures that are located near the foregut-midgut junction.
• They are small, clear blind tubules that are grouped in a rosette in the stomach's interior region. They have the ability to release digestive juices.

Hepatic is a term that refers to the liver. As a result, the hepatic caecum has similar functions as the liver. In higher organisms, bile, a digestive fluid secreted by the liver, emulsifies fat. Digestion fluids required to break down complex food particles are released by the hepatic caeca.
