Q

How does flight temperature works?

A

By passing the excess heat to the head by means of passive conduction and accelerated blood flow
Excess heat is eliminated by regurgitating droplet of water-down honey - which cools the head much like a sweat in I vertebrates

It is a crop or storage area to hold freshly collected nectar or water for transport to or from the nest

A

Honey stomach

50
Q

Digestion of food occur in

A

Midgut

51
Q

What is the purpose of hindgut?

A

Reclaims water and nutrients and passes small amount of indigestible wastes to the rectum for storage until excretion.

52
Q

The abdomen of worker bees have how many abdominal segments?

A

7 visible segments

53
Q

What is the first abdominal segment of worker bees?

A

Propodeum

54
Q

There are actually_ abdominal segments

A

10 but the 8th, 9th, and 10th are hidden inside the 7th abdominal segment

55
Q

It is the blood of bees

A

Haemolymph

56
Q

Blood is not carried by arteries and veins but Flows around the body, through the dorsal and ventral diaphragm called

A

Vessels, bellows or heart

57
Q

Oxygen enters the bee via

A

Spiracles then to the bellowsin the abdomen which distribute it into the blood,

58
Q

Each abdominal segment constructed of…

A

One large dosas and one ventral plate

59
Q

The two plates (dorsal and ventral) is connected by

A

Membranes to allow the abdomento expand when the stomach is engorged with nectar or water and also pumping of the abdomen for increase oxygen uptake.

60
Q

It contains most of the organ systems and some glands

A

Abdomen

61
Q

Where is the sting situated?

A

Abdomen

62
Q

Abdomen is externally….

A

Hairy

63
Q

The sting is made up of:

A

sting is made up of two barbed lancets below the stylet supported by hardened plates and strong muscles and connected to a poison and glands containing alarm substances.

64
Q

It is highly modified ovipositor which evolved for its defensive function.

A

Sting

65
Q

Sting has a large basal structure called

A

Bulb of stylet

66
Q

is contained within a chamber at the end of the abdomen from which only its effective part, tapering, sharp-pointed shaft is protruded.

A

Sting

67
Q

Sting has a solid structure shaft which is composed of the three separable pieces:

A

One above the stylet and two lancets below

68
Q

What happens when bee stings the victim?

A

When the worker stings and the forward facing barbs catch hold in the skin, the worker then pulls away, ripping the sting out because of its 9 or 10 recurved barbs at the outer side near the end and dies within a few hours or days due to massive abdominal rapture

69
Q

Venom is a mixture of

A

Proteins and peptides

70
Q

What in the major component of protein in the venom

A

Melittin

71
Q

Other components of venom

A

Hyaluronidase, phospholipase a, acid phosphates, and histamine

72
Q

Three levels of reactions in humans by sting

A

Local, systemic, anaphylactic

73
Q

localized swelling followed by more extensive swelling a
Few hours later, affected area may become red, itchy and tender to 203 days.

A

Local reaction

74
Q
  • symptoms occur with seconds which include difficulty in breathing, confusion, vomiting and falling blood pressure which can lead to loss of consciousness and death from circulatory respiratory collapse. Resistance to bee stings may develop the more one isstung. Extremely sensitive individual may die from a single sting.
A

Anaphylactic reaction

75
Q

occurs within few minutes of stinging which may involve a whole body rash, wheezing, nausea, vomiting, abdominal and fainting.

A

Systemic reaction

76
Q

It causes cell lyses; pain, toxicity, synergistic with mellitin

A

Phospholipase A

77
Q

It causes lyses ot blood and most cells; release of histamine and serotonin from mast cells, and depression of blood pressure and respiration

A

Mellitin

78
Q

Hydrolyzes connective tissue called spreading factor
since it opens up passages for other components;
Nontoxic

A

Hyaluronidase

79
Q

Itching pain; amount in venom much lower than toxic
levels or amount released by mast cells

A

Histamine

80
Q

Involved in allergic reaction

A

Acid phosphates

81
Q

Wax production is used for

A

Comb construction

82
Q

Beeswax is produced by

A

Modified epidermal cells located ventrally on the 4th to 7th abdominal segments
