Answer 26

being wingless.
Primitively apterous means the insect never had wings in its ancesterial heritage.
Secondarily Apterous means that its ancestors had wings, and it lost its wings somewhere in its evolutionary chain.

Intima

Stomodeum, Proctodeum

Question 28

Contrast the external morphology between insects and a spider.

Answer 28

Insects have different mouthparts,(list types)
Spiders have modified first pair of appendages called chelcercia,
Spiders leg appendages have metatarsus, and insects have pre-tarsus.
Most spiders are unsclerotized and adult insects are.

Question 29

Describe the journey of a blood cell in the Helmoymph,

Answer 29

Start in hemocoel in the body, as the heart relaxes the otisa open, and hemolymph flows into the heart. The heart is blind and when the muscles compress hydrolic pressure is formed pushing blood anteriorly through in the dorsal vessel to the opened aorta where it travels into the head and the thoracic appendages first, accessory pulsatile organs then pump into the wings/appendages. then back into the hemocoel and collected by the heart again.

Question 30

Describe the two types of flight and the muscles.

Answer 30

Paleoptera- Direct flight muscles that are only used to power flight, these have terga-sternal muscles which pull down the notum raising the wing tip, and the dorsal-longitudial muscles which pop the notum up pushing the wing tip down. Anisoptera
Neopetra- has indirect and direct muscles. the direct muscles fold the wings back, and the indirect power flight, coleptera
