This phase of digestion enables the mated female tick to acquire the largest
possible bloodmeal by allowing the digestive cells of the midgut epithelium as
well as the lumen of the midgut to function as storage sites for the bloodmeal .

digestive cells fill with residual bodies and are sloughed into the lumen . During
the first continuous digestive phase , the products of digestion are used mostly for
non - reproductive organ and tissue growth . The second digestive phase ...
