Solution
As per NCERT, the mouth of cockroach opens into a short tubular pharynx, leading to a narrow tubular oesophagus, which opens into a sac-like crop used for storing food.
The crop is followed by the gizzard (proventriculus), which grinds food; this is followed by the midgut.
The hindgut is differentiated into ileum, colon and rectum.
