Answer 1

endocrine system

Question 2

internal secretion produced in endocrine glands;
complex chemical compounds that is carried by the bloodstream and exercises a specific physiological reaction

Answer 2

hormones

Question 3

list the types of endocrine organs

Answer 3

neurosecretory cells of the body;
specialized endocrine glands

Question 4

group of modified nerve cells in the dorsal part of the protocerebrum that produces: peptide hormones, prothoracicotrophic hormone and bursicon

Answer 4

neurosecretory cells of the brain

Question 5

activates the thoracic glands

Answer 5

peptide hormone

Question 6

also known as the brain hormone

Answer 6

prothoracicotropic hormone

Question 7

from the thoracic ganglia;
control the hardening and darkening of the cuticle;
regulates tanning (initiates transfer of tyrosine to the hemocytes)

Answer 7

bursicon

Question 8

a pair of small bodies lying on each side of the aorta;
responsible for discharging neurosecretory materials into the hemolymph;
includes swollen endings of neurosecretory axons and neurosecretory cells

Answer 8

corpora cardiaca

Question 9

small ovoid bodies associated with the stomodaeal ganglion;
produces juvenile hormone

Answer 9

corpora allata

Question 10

control the metamorphosis and regulation of reproductive development;
antagonizes ecdysone;
inhibit appearance of adult character;
ensures that molting gives rise to the normal sequence of nymphal and larval instars

Answer 10

juvenile hormone

Question 11

becomes less active towards the juvenile life of insects;
and resume activity for full development of ovaries anand accessory reproductive accessory glands

Answer 11

Corpora allata

Question 12

a pair of diffused glands at the back fo the head or in the thorax;
produces ecdysone

Answer 12

thoracic / prothoracic glands

Question 13

molting hormones;
induces molting in immature insects;
initiates tanning;
antagonizes the effect of vittelogenesis

Answer 13

ecdysone

Question 14

the stimulatory action of the juvenile hormone

Answer 14

vittelogenesis

Question 15

involved in pupariation;
from the peripheral nerve endings;
involved in the production of DOPA

Answer 15

anterior segment refraction factor (ARF)

Question 16

involved in pupariation;
form the peripheral nerve endings;
regulates the synthesis fo enzymes at the transcriptional level necessary for the hydroxylation of tyrosine

Answer 16

puparium tanning factor (PTF)
