internal morphology Flashcards
protocerebrum
organs: ocellar lobe (sticks up), optic lobe (cone), mushroom bodies (connects balls)
Controls: vision, memory, learning
deuterocerebrum
Controls: movement and sensory detection of antennae
tritocerebrum
connects brain to subesophageal ganglion
subesophageal ganglion
connects to ventral nerve cord
Controls: mouthparts, secretion, and taste. interaction between brain input and rest of body
ventral nerve cords
coordinates movement
indirect flight muscles
flaps wings up and down
direct flight muscles
pitch and yaw, more directional rather than solely movement
order of guts in foreguts and foregut def
foregut: carries food to midgut from mouth
preoral cavity, pharynx, oesophagus, crop, proventriculus
order of guts in midguts and midgut def
midgut: center of digestion
gastric caecum, peritrophic membrane, malpighian tubes
order of guts in hindguts and hindgut def
hindgut: eliminate waste and water retention
ileum, colon, rectum, anus
fat body function
-chemical detox
-store carbs, fats, protein
-house microbes
-waste product storage
how does circulatory system work?
haemolymph from body enters ostia when alary muscles are relaxed. alary muscles contract, close ostia, and return blood to body cavities
direction: posterior to anterior
