**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks where the hepatic caecae are located in the cockroach's digestive system. 2. **Identifying the Digestive System Parts**: The cockroach's alimentary canal consists of several parts: - Foregut: Mouth, Pharynx, Oesophagus, Crop, Gizzard - Midgut: Coiled portion following the gizzard - Hindgut: Ileum, Colon, Rectum 3. **Locating the Hepatic Caecae**: The hepatic caecae, also known as gastric caecae, are blind tubules that are associated with digestion. They are specifically located at the junction of the midgut and hindgut. 4. **Reviewing the Options**: The options provided in the question include: - A) Midgut and Hindgut - B) Junction of Crop and Gizzard - C) Junction of Midgut and Gizzard - D) Junction of Midgut and Ileum 5. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Option A**: Midgut and Hindgut - Incorrect, as this is where Malpighian tubules are found. - **Option B**: Junction of Crop and Gizzard - Incorrect, as this is part of the foregut. - **Option C**: Junction of Midgut and Gizzard - Incorrect, as the gizzard is the end of the foregut. - **Option D**: Junction of Midgut and Ileum - Incorrect, as this is where Malpighian tubules are found. 6. **Conclusion**: The hepatic caecae are found at the junction of the foregut and midgut. Therefore, the correct answer is that they are located at the junction of the midgut and hindgut. **Final Answer**: Hepatic caecae are found at the junction of the midgut and hindgut. ---
