Biological term
Its form, function, and name can vary according to the type of animal. The small intestine of vertebrates is differentiated from the midgut. There is an opening of the liver output tube at the boundary between the midgut and the foregut, and the cecum is often generated on the boundary between the midgut and the hindgut. In insects, the midgut is also called the stomach. Unlike the foregut and hindgut, it does not have a chitin endometrium. In most cases, there are several glandular blind ducts called gastric caecum at the front end. There are many glands on the midgut wall of insects, so they are also called chyle stomach (chylestoma-ch), chyle intestine (de Chylusdarum) and so on.
