Answer:

circular folds

Explanation:

The movement of food in the body's alimentary canal <em>(the passage of food from the mouth towards the anus) </em>is aided by "peristalsis."

"Peristalsis" is an involuntary movement of the circular and longitudinal muscles found within the digestive tract. This movement occurs in the <u>esophagus, stomach and small intestine.</u>

Along the<em> jejunal intestinal wall</em> are the "circular folds." These folds are thick and stretches towards the "lumen." They function as speed bump control by slowing down the food passage and increasing the surface area necessary for <em>absorption</em>. After being absorbed, they will then be moved forward toward the large intestine.

So, this explains the answer.

Anit [1.1K]

In the spermatheca, females of many insect species, including honeybee queens, can store gametes secreted by their sex partners.

<h3>What is Spermatheca ?</h3>

The female insect's spermatheca is an ectodermal structure that receives, stores, and releases sperm for egg fertilization. According to the species, spermathecae differ in size and shape.

  • They often come from the median oviduct, which is located close or on the genital chamber. A secretory duct called the ductus seminalis connects the spermathecal sac, also known as the receptaculum seminis, to the genital chamber, where the sperm are released.
  • The number of spermathecas varies among taxa, however the majority of insects only have one. Depending on the species of insect, the spermatheca has different morphologies. The spermatheca is composed of the spermathecal gland, duct, and reservoir. Both of these fluids feed the sperm. Both the spermathecal glands and the male accessory glands secrete substances that feed the sperm.

So lastly we can say that, t females of many insect species, including honeybee queens, can store gametes shed by their mating partners in - the spermatheca.
