A tardigrade male: the stomach region

[ tardigrade male: the stomach region]

The stomach is filled with green vegetable material.
The numerous globular, grainy particles on both sides of the stomach region are body cavity cells. Those body cavity call flotate freely within the body liquid and serve as a nutrition deposit.
In this region there is no noticeable difference between males and females.
