A receiving apparatus 3 which is an element of a body insertable system is configured with a receiving unit 6 including receiving antennas 8 a to 8 d and a reception processing device 9 , and a position detecting unit 7 including transmitting antennas 10 a to 10 d, a first linear magnetic field generator 11 a, a second linear magnetic field generator 11 b, a diffuse magnetic field generator 12 , and a processing device 13 , and the receiving unit 6 and the position detecting unit 7 are formed separately and independently of each other. Therefore, when the body insertable system is used for acquisition of intra-subject information which is acquired by the capsule endoscope 2 and position detection of the capsule endoscope 2 , both the receiving unit 6 and the position detecting unit 7 are used, whereas when the body insertable system is used only for the acquisition of the intra-subject information, it is possible to use only the receiving unit 6 , whereby a burden on the subject at a time of use is restricted to a minimum degree according to the purpose of use while increase in operational cost is suppressed.
