mesenteron

/ mɛsˈɛntəˌrɒn /

First recorded in 1875–80; mes- + enteron

I failed to find any trace of an anterior part of the mesenteron adjoining the stomodum.

In the Tracheata the mesenteron is always considerable, and the proctodum is always short.

I must, in fact, admit that I have hitherto failed to work out satisfactorily the history of the mesenteron and its appendages.

From the mesenteron there might be pouch-like or tubular outgrowths.

The main branches of the latter enter the mesenteron just behind the fifth pair of cephalic appendages.
