The function of the gastric ceca is to?
In mosquitoes, the gastric caeca are responsible for ion and water transport. In the cockroach, the gastric caeca contain bacteria which aid in digestion. Leeches store concentrated blood in their gastric caeca. In grasshopper, chemicals are secreted from the gastric caeca in the stomach and from the salivary glands. So the general role of the gastric caeca is for digestion, but without knowing the species, your question is a little difficult to answer.

How many digestive glands do a grasshopper have?
The grasshopper has six pairs of gastric caeca. The purpose of gastric caeca is to increase the surface area of the midgut, which enhances the ability to secrete digestive enzymes and to extract helpful products from food that has been partially digested.
What is a gastric caeca?
Gastric caeca are finger-like projections found in the digestive system of some animals, such as insects and crustaceans. They are located at the junction of the foregut and midgut and play a role in digestion and absorption of nutrients. Gastric caeca increase the surface area available for enzymatic activity and nutrient absorption, aiding in the efficient digestion of food.
What is the process of digestion in cockroach including glands etc involved?
food --> mouth --> esophagus --> crop (dilated when feeding; flocculated salivary glands present around crop) --> gizzard (chitinous teeth; grind food)--> midgut (includes digestive, or gastric, caeca)--> Malphigian tubules--> hindgut (still has ileum, colon and rectum)--> anus-uc berkeley
What structures in the grasshopper that secrete enzymes into the digestive tract?
In grasshoppers, the structures that secrete enzymes into the digestive tract are primarily the salivary glands and the gastric caeca. The salivary glands produce digestive enzymes that are mixed with food during ingestion. The gastric caeca, which are finger-like projections extending from the midgut, also secrete enzymes that aid in the breakdown of food, enhancing nutrient absorption. These structures together facilitate effective digestion in the grasshopper.
When was Caeca et Obdurata created?
Caeca et Obdurata was created in 1593.
What is the function of the pyloric caeca of a fish?
Also known as digestive caeca or hepatic caeca. Pyloric caeca (outpocketing) extends from the pyloric stomach of the starfish into each of the five arms.
What is gastric serrated adenoma?
A gastric serrated adenoma refers to a polyp that would be found in the gastric lining. The serrated aspect refers to a saw toothed appearance of the polyp.
