The midgut consists of a ventriculus , a variable number of blind diverticula or
caeca , and the rectal tube . A valve is found at the junction of the esophagus and
the ventriculus ( Sonenshine & Gregson 1970 , Till 1961 , Gregson 1960 ) .

Some of the blood is stored in the midgut lumen and some is stored in the
digestive cells which have greatly reduced their digestive activities and are filled
with large endosomes . A new cell type , the vitellogenic cell , is found between
