The stomach grinds and stores the food. Digestion takes place in the intestine. Food is distributed to the cells of the body by blood. Blood is pumped by the heart into blood vessels called arteries. From the arteries, blood enters sinuses.
Blood enters the heart through pores in the side of the heart.
It is then ready to be pumped from the heart. This type of circulatory system is called an open circulatory system. Digestive waste leaves through the anus. Nitrogen waste is extracted from the blood by green glands. These are located at the anterior of the animal, and pores through which the nitrogen waste leaves are close to the eyes and antennae.
