  label: Anterior region of the body that contains the palps, chelicerae and hypostome. Capable of dorsal to ventral flexing motion. Homologous with the gnathosoma of mites. The capitulum articulates with the body via a cavity, the camerostome. The capitulum is located at the anterior end of the body in ixodid ticks and the larvae of many argasid ticks. It is located ventrally or subterminal, obscured by an overhang of the anterior end of the body.

  label: Ticks have 4 pairs of walking legs as adults and nymphs (only 3 pair occur in larvae). Each leg consists of 6 segments, the coxa, trochanter, femur, patella, tibia and tarsus. The tarsus of each leg bears an apotele comprising the claws and the pulvillus (the latter is absent in most argasid tick nymphs and adults). A complex sensory organ, Haller's organ, is located on the dorsal surface of the tarsus of leg I.

  label: Flap like structure covering the roof of the preoral canal. Very short in ixodid ticks but long in argasid ticks and extending over the full length of the preoral canal (hypstomal gutter). In argasid ticks, the labrum can move up and down, thereby separating the blood flowing into the mouth from the saliva expelled above it into the salivarium. In argasid ticks, the labrum is hollow and filled with fluid. This is an adaptation for rapid feeding characteristic of these ticks.

Comprised of three major cell types, D, E and F cells. According to Jaworski et al (1992), the cement compoundsused to bind the tick mouthparts to the host skin are elaborated in the D and E cells of these acini. Bishop et al (2002) report acement protein from the type E cells of the type III acini in Rhipicephalus appendiculatus. The F cell is transformed during bloodfeeding by membrane infolding to form an enormous labyrinthe system for extracting water and salts from the hemolymph and secreting them into the salivary ducts for excretion back into the host. The type III acini are the primary sites for development of sporozoites of Theileria parva, the agent of East Coast Fever.

  label: Valve located at the junction of the esophagus and the antero-ventral region of the stomach portion of the midgut. The proventriculus is surrounded by several layers of smooth muscle fibers. The proventriculus opens when the pharynx contracts, allowing ingested blood to enter the midgut, but closes when the pharynx dilates. The latter is believed to prevent regurgitation of blood from the midgut back into the host. However, this remains a controversial issue since some authors (e.g., Burgdorfer et al. 1989) have argued that regurgitation can occur while others (Riberio et al. 1987) consider it unlikely. Connat (1991, Parasitol. Res. 77: 452 -454) showed compelling evidence of regurgitation using tritiated ecdysteroids). Thus, it appears that there is good evidence that it can occur in argasid ticks. Whether it can also occur in ixodid ticks is uncertain.

  label: The synganglion constitutes the entire central nervous of the tick. There is no separate brain or ventral nerve chord. The synganglion is located in the midventral region of the body immediately posterior to the genital pore in adults or the location where the genital pore will form in immature specimens. The synganglion is a small white organ approximately 0.5 mm wide by 0.4 - .05 mm long. The esophagus penetrates through the synganglion, entering more or less from the anterior ventral side and emerging near theposterior dorsal side of the organ.

has definition: Definition
  label: Type II granulocytes are hemocytes that are easily recognized by the presence of a single type of electron dense, homogenous granules. In addition to their role in phagocytosis, these cells also serve to encapsulate foreign material too large to be ingested. They are believed to be the primary cell that degranulates and forms around bacterial cell clusters or inanimate objects. Proteases have been found localized in the granules of granulocytes in Ornithodoros moubata (Inoue et al. 2001). Whereas gram positive bacteria may be destroyed by defensins secreted from granulocytes (Johns et al. 2000), gram negative bacteria are immobilized in clusters by secretion of lectin-like Dorin-M (Kovar et al. 2000) and surrounded by hemocytes, a non-melanotic encapsulation process known as nodulation (Ceraul et al. 2002).

  label: A hair like process that extends from the cuticle to the exterior. The seta is the most common type of sensillum. The seta isinserted into a socket, a depression in the cuticle surrounded by a slight ridge. The interior of the seta is hollow and connected directly to a duct that extends through the cuticle to the epidermis. Several neurons embedded in the epidermis innervate the setiform sensillum, sending dendrites into the shaft of the seta. Axons from the neuron cell bodies extend into the interior of the body and communicate via nerves to the synganglion. Most setae are simple, without pores and serve as mechanosensilla and are innervated by mechanosensory neurons. Specialized setae have either single pores at the tip (gustatory sensilla), pores all over the sensilla (olfactosensilla) or pores in ridges along the side walls or with grooves that lack pores. These latter sensilla are believed to function as hygrosensilla or thermosensilla or both.

The fat body is the site of synthesis for vitellogenin, the yolk protein, of conversion o fecdysone into 20-hydroxyecdysone (the molting hormone and other hormonal functions) and probably other functions. It is also believedto be site for the production of antimicrobial proteins, e.g., defensin. The fat body subdivided into central region, surrounding thealimentary canal and a peripheral region, along the tracheal trunks and tracheae. The fat body consists of two types of cells,trophocytes and nephrocytes.

The ovary is studded withinnumerable oocytes that expand in size during oogenesis, fill with brown yolk (vitellogenin) after mating and eventually migrate outinto the oviducts and vagina to exit the body. The ovary appears as a delicate, white tube in unfed females but becomes veryprominent during feeding, eventually appearing as one of the largest organs in the body. The ovary is similar in both ixodid andargasid ticks. In D. andersoni, the ovary is approximately 6 mm long by 64 - 110 microns in diameter. The tick ovary is of thepanoistic type, i.e., it lacks nurse cells.

  label: Stage III oocytes constitute the developmental stage of the oocytes when they first begin to acquire yolk. Following mating,high levels of ecdysteroid (20-hydroxyecdysone) stimulate vitellogenin production in the fat body and, simultaneously, upregulation of the vitellogenin receptors in the oocytes (Thompson et al. 2007; Mitchell et al. 2007). As a result, the enlarging oocytes now begin to acquire yolk granules and begin to turn brown in color (vitellogenin is a lipoglycoheme protein). The stage III oocytes are larger than the stage I or stage II oocytes and are easily distinguished by their brown color.

A thin layer of epithelial cellssurrounds the cuticular lining. In ixodid. Tthe vestibular vagina is surrounded by a multilobed glandular epithelium, the lobular accessory gland. This gland is absent in argasid ticks. A pair of tubular accessory glands are located at the junction ofthe vestibular vagina with the cervical vagina and empty into the vagina at this juncture. In ixodid ticks, the vestibular vaginaenlarges greatly during oviposition, the walls thin and stretch and the tube functions as a primitive ovipositor, assisting in propelling the egg from the vagina out through the genital pore.

However, no evidence of lipid droplets were reported, although this may be related to the timeof collection (i.e., perhaps this might have been found if samples were taken during oviposition). According to Lees and Beament (1948), these cells produce a lipid-rich secretion which coats the eggs as they pass along the vestibular vagina during oviposition, but this could not be confirmed in later studies.

  label: Most ticks have a pair of elongated, tubular testes connected near the midline of the body by a thin isthmus. Each testis is a tubular organ comprised of layers of germinal cells surrounded by a thin connective tissue membrane and occasional smooth muscle cells. Interstitial cells occur primarily along the luminal border, according to Raikhel (1983). Spermatogonia, primary and secondary spermatocytes are grouped into clusters termed spermatocysts. Each cluster contains 32 - 64 secondary spermatogonia or spermatocytes, depending upon their position in the testis, and surrounded by a narrow lumen.The testes enlarge greatly during feeding.

has OBO namespace: default_namespace
has definition: Definition
  label: The spermatophore is not a permament part of the male anatomy. Rather it is formed externally from soluble proteins, lipids and other materials in a viscous droplet ejaculated by the male during copulation. These materials coagulate into the ectospermatophore that momentarily encloses the male genital aperture. This is followed quickly by masses of elongated prospermia and seminal fluids that flow into the ectospermatophore, causing it to balloon and turn opaque. Next, a second viscous droplet is introduced which forms the bilobed endospermatophore. This also seals the spermatophore. A single endospermatophore occurs in ixodid ticks, but two endospermatophores commonly occur in argasid ticks. When completed, the entire spermatophore is seized by the male's chelicerae as itemerges from the male genital aperture. Then, using its chelicerae, the male transfers the spermatophore to the female's genital aperture and implants it into the vestibular vagina. Saliva is secreted to lubricate the female's genital area to facilitate the process. Meanwhile, CO2 generated within the spermatophore creates sufficient pressure to force the masses of elongated prospermia and semen into the endospermatophore (s), which everts, expands and passes out the external spermatophore and into the female's genital tract. The ectospermatophore remains as an empty sac on the external surface of the female, where it soons dries, shrivels and falls off.

  label: The adult sensory system consists of the variety of sensory ogans, or sensilla, the detect chemical compounds (e.g., odors, taste), contact with objects or surfaces, light or shadows, temperature and humidty changes. They are classified by structure or function, or a combination of the two. For the purposes of this anatomical ontology, they will be characterized primarily by structureand secondarily by function. Examples include the setiform olfactosensilla in the Haller's organ, setiform mechanosensilla all over the body, capitulum and legs, thigmotactic sensilla in the integument, or the photosensilla in the eye. Many of these sensory organs are multifunctional, e.g., combined mechanochemosensory sensilla. Many sensilla are dispersed all over the body, capitulum and legs. Others are clustered in specialized organs such as the Haller's organ on the foreleg tarsi or the sensory field on the tip of the terminal segment of the palps (palpal article IV).
