Article Synopsis
- * Infections such as tuberculosis are prevalent in this area, often spreading through the bloodstream, while bacterial infections are less common.
- * Although tumors are rare, they can cause severe issues like pathologic fractures or subluxation, making it crucial to accurately understand the complex anatomy and conditions of this region for effective treatment.
The morphology of the mouthparts and foregut of the larvae and post-larvae of Macrobrachium jelskii was investigated to determine their functional roles in feeding, in order to understand the larval feeding behaviour and the changes that occur during its development. The mouthparts and foregut of the zoea I and II are morphologically similar, rudimentary and non-functional in feeding. Only in the final larval stage, zoea III, do the external mouthparts and foregut become structurally more complex and thus likely to play a potential role in feeding.
