A cutaway illustration depicts the internal anatomy of an engorged tick, an arachnid ectoparasite. The section shows the capitulum and SG (salivary glands), enlarged MG (midgut) diverticula distended with the blood meal, looping gut, reproductive tract, and paired legs anchored to the ventral exoskeleton. In arthropod anatomy and parasitology, this organism feeds on vertebrate skin and functions as a vector for diverse pathogens. The entity represents an organism-level view (order Ixodida; common name tick; class Arachnida).
