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 .

digestion , crystallization of hemoglobin occurs in the midgut lumen . The final
digestive phase is characterized by the presence of relatively few active digestive
cells in the midgut epithelium and by a slower digestion of the bloodmeal .
