larval anterior-middle midgut junction [FBbt_00058008]

A small region of the larval midgut between the anterior midgut and the middle midgut. The region forms a characteristic U-shaped bend in the larval gut. It contains enteroendocrine cells with a distinct hormonal expression profile from the enteroendocrine cells of the surrounding regions (LaJeunesse et al., 2010; Veenstra et al., 2014). (Veenstra and Ida, 2014, Lajeunesse et al., 2010)
