Body region (metamerization)i. Headii. Thoraxiii. AbdomenB. Exoskeleton C. Structure of the headi. Antennae types ii. Mouthparts iii. Eyes1. Compound eyes – differentiate color, shapes, and sizes2. Simple eyes (ocelli) – tell the difference between light and dark; simple metamorphosis3. Stemmata – complete metamorphosis D. Structures of the thoraxi. Legs1. Saltatorial legs – jumping2. Cursorial legs - runningii. Wings1. Vestigial wings – non functioningiii. Spiracles – allow for oxygen to make its way into the body of the insectE. Structures of the abdomen i. Spiracles – allow for oxygen to make its way into the body of the insectii. Valves – a part of the reproductive system; very flexible; used in separating out species; “lock and key” it must fit perfectly in order to reproduceiii. Ovipositor – females use this to deposit eggs in a safe place These notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture. GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a substitute.iv. Penis (Aedeagus) – some insects have two in order to increase the success of reproduction; the other part to the “lock and key” must fit perfectly with the female valve in order to accomplish mating v. Styles – equivalent to antennae; it can sense vibration and temperature vi. Cerci – long sensory structures; can be used in mating to hold the female; also have sensory cells associated with them F. External sensory structures i. Hairs – each hair is hooked into the nervous system; if that hair moves at all they can sense itii. Pegs – mainly located on the antennae as a means to sense pheromones; it creates an impulse that goes to the nervous system; used to find food and matesiii. Stretch receptors – nerve tissues associated with stretch receptors; when something touches its leg they will immediately
