ANATOMY OF AN ARTHROPOD. 95 end of the short small intestine or ileum is marked by the attachment of a number of fine glandular tubes known as Mal- pighian tubules (Mc), which are probably excretory organs. The colon or large intestine (Li) is wide and long, and terminates in a short dilated terminal part, the rectum (B). At the anterior end of the mesenteron will be seen seven convuluted club- shaped diverticula called liejpatic ccBca (H). (Five only are represented in the figure.) The Resioiratory System consists of a series of tubes containing. Fig. S5.—i, Trachea, and ii, Side-view of part ov Abdomen, showing spiracle (iSp). T, Tergum; S, sternum ; a, spiral fibre : 5, inner coat; c, outer coat air. This can be easily demonstrated by plunging tlie opened cockroach under water, when the tubes will be shown as silvery threads, due to the contained air in them. These air-tubes or irachem (fig. 35, i.) commence at the spiracles and run to all parts of the body. When minutely examined the tracheae will be seen to be circumscribed by a dark spiral band (a). Re- spiration takes place by these tubes, carrying the air to all parts of the body and its organs, hence blood-vessels are not so neces- sary as when one definite area only is for respiratory func-.
