[edit]DescriptionEB1911 Peripatus - P. capensis dissected.jpg |
English: Peripatus capensis dissected so as to show the alimentary canal, slime glands and salivary glands. The dissection is viewed from the ventral side, and the lips (L) have been cut through in the middle line behind and pulled outwards so as to expose the jaws (f), which have been turned outwards, and the tongue (T) bearing a median row of chitinous teeth, which branches behind into two. The muscular pharynx, extending back into the space between the first and second pairs of legs, is followed by a short tubular oesophagus. The latter opens into the large stomach with plicated walls, extending almost to the hind end of the animal. The stomach at its point of junction with the rectum presents an S shaped ventro-dorsal curve. Legend: A, Anus; at, antenna; F.1, F.2, first and second feet; j, jaws; L, lips; oe, oesophagus; or.p, oral papilla; ph, pharynx; R, rectum; s.d, salivary duct; s.g, salivary gland; sl.d, slime reservoir; sl.g, portion of tubules of slime gland; st, stomach; T, tongue in roof of mouth. |
