An excretory organ found in terrestrial arthropods such as insects, spiders, and millipedes. It is named after the Italian anatomist Malpighi. The Malpighian tubules consist of one to several dozen long, thin tubes (the number of tubes varies depending on the species), and are connected to a pair of excretory openings in the hindgut. It is known that in insects, the front half of the tube excretes ammonia in the form of potassium uric acid along with water, carbonate ions, potassium ions, etc., and the rear half reabsorbs water and potassium ions, and mainly excretes only crystallized uric acid into the hindgut.

昆虫をはじめクモ、ヤスデなど陸生の節足動物にみられる排出器官。イタリアの解剖学者マルピーギにちなんだ名称である。マルピーギ管は1本から数十本までの細長い管よりなり(管の数は種によって異なる)、後腸部に開口する一対の排出口につながっている。昆虫の排出について、管の前半部では体内のアンモニアを尿酸のカリウム塩のかたちで、水、炭酸イオン、カリウムイオンなどとともに排出し、その後半部で水、カリウムイオンを再吸収し、おもに結晶化した尿酸のみを後腸部へ排出することが知られている。 [竹内重夫] ©Shogakukan"> 昆虫の体の内部(呼吸系、消化系、神経系… 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
