The gross anatomy and histology of the alimentary tract of the stick insect, Pylaemenes mitratus were described in this study. Three distinct part of its alimentary system were investigated; the foregut, midgut and hindgut were observed. The foregut consists of oesophagus, crop and proventriculus. T...
