Anatomy Larva

Proventriculus (cardia) of the embryo or larva.

This structure is more correctly referred to as the 'cardia'. Strictly, proventriculus refers to a modification of the foregut, just anterior to the stomodeal valve, found in many insects. Drosophila has no such foregut modification (Miller, 1950. However, the term 'proventriculus' is the one most commonly used for this structure.
