A longitudinal section diagram of an engorged tick (Arachnida, Acari: Ixodida) shows internal organ systems. Within the idiosoma, a blood-filled midgut occupies most of the body, with lobed salivary glands near the capitulum, a yellow ovary containing developing oocytes, coiled intestinal diverticula, and lateral legs. In arthropod anatomy and parasitology, this ectoparasite is hematophagous, with saliva enabling host attachment and pathogen transmission, while the reproductive tract supports egg production and oviposition.
