The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Identify the Salivary Glands in Cockroach:** - The salivary glands in cockroaches are responsible for secreting saliva, which aids in the digestion of food. 2. **Locate the Opening of the Salivary Glands:** - The salivary glands open into a specific part of the cockroach's anatomy. This opening is located at the hypopharynx. 3. **Understand the Role of the Hypopharynx:** - The hypopharynx is a part of the buccal cavity in cockroaches. It is a short tubular structure that leads to the esophagus. 4. **Trace the Path of Food:** - After the hypopharynx, the food passes through the esophagus, which is a narrow tubular passage. 5. **Identify the Connection to Other Digestive Structures:** - The esophagus then leads to the crop, which is a sac-like structure used for storing food. Following the crop is the gizzard, where food is mechanically processed. 6. **Conclude the Attachment of the Salivary Glands:** - Based on the anatomical connections, it is concluded that the salivary glands of the cockroach are attached to the esophagus. **Final Answer:** The salivary glands in cockroaches are attached to the **esophagus**. ---
