embryonic/larval middle midgut [FBbt_00001884]
Central part of the embryonic/larval midgut. This region is acidic (Filshie et al., 1971; Shanbhag and Tripathi, 2009). The epithelium of the anterior part consists of alternating copper cells and interstitial cells (Poulson and Bowen, 1952; Filshie et al., 1971; Shanbhag and Tripathi, 2009). Immediately posterior to this is a region of large flat cells (Poulson and Waterhouse, 1960). Posterior to this, the most posterior part of the middle midgut consists of iron accumulating cells (Poulson and Bowen, 1952).
