25
Musculoskeletal system categories
1. visceral -(surrounds tubes and ducts) 2. segmental -(telescoping of body segments, helps in molting) 3. apendicular -(movements of legs and antennae)
26
Muscle attachment sites
1. Apophyses - flexible joints and attachments sites, contain springy resilin 2. Apodemes -rigidity (infoldings) 3. Tentorium -in the head, reinforces and gives muscle attachment
27
egg path
germarium -> vitellarium -> pedicel -> lateral oviduct -> common oviduct -> bursa copulatrix -> vulva
28
sperm production pathway (and into female)
teste -> vas deferens, -> seminal vesical -> ejaculatory duct -> aedeagus -> gonopore ->... spermatheca
29
oviposition into:
substrate, plants (on/in), water, on themselves, in a host
30
sex determination
XX female XO male
31
haplo-diploidy
some generations haploid, some diploid.
32
haplo-diploidy in bees
females diploid, males haploid
33
parthenogenesis
no males? (no bitches face)
34
Hermaphroditism
multiple genitals or passed down sperm packet (very rare and debatable)
35
Polyembryony
eggs that split into multiple eggs and therefore individuals
36
Only true flies can do this
Adenotrophic viviparity: nourish larvae with milk glands before giving birth. (then they immediately pupate)
37
Intrasexual communication
same sex (fighting in leks)
38
Intersexual communication
b/w sexes (mating)
39
interspecific communication
b/w spp (plant releasing chemicals)
40
mole crickets make what for mating
a horn! (sound chamber)
41
Kairomones
harm host (attracts predators)
42
Synomones
benefit host and organism picking it up (plant chemical to attract predators predators)
43
Allomones:
only benefit producer (repel insects)
44
which chemical induces molting process
ecdysone
45
3 stimuli that all are taken into account regarding molting
1. External. 2. Insect growth 3. hormones that have been released by the neurosecretory system
46
Juvenile hormone does what;
tells body which life stage to molt to; high (another life stage,) low: (adult stage)
47
epidermis separates from cuticle at zone of formation at this stage in molting
Apolysis
48
the zone of formation that fills with molting fluid
The apolysial space
49
steps 3-5 in molting
New outer cuticle layer formed Molting epidermis begins producing enzymes that dissolve the endocuticle of the old cuticle New cuticle layers continue to be deposited
50
endysis
old cuticle splits along endysial line
51
eclosion
teneral adult emerges, the old exoskeleton is call the exuvium, once the adult is sclerotized it is called the imago
52
which insects can form a pupae
holometabolous insects
53
ootheca
egg sack
54
Subimago
pre-adult phase in ephemeroptera
55
stadium term meaning
time in-between moltings
56
3 instars for what?
larvae and nymphs
57
difference between larvae and nymph
larvae exhibit holometabolous while nymphs exhibit hemimetabolous or ametabolous development
58
ametabolous
juvenile looks very much like adult
59
Hemimetabolous
nymph to adult, nymph looks similar
60
larval types
apod (no legs,) polypod (front and back legs,) oligopod (hind legs)
61
exarate pupae
loose on body
62
obtect pupae
pupae fits firm to body
63
decticious vs adecticious pupae
mandible cut thru cocoon vs sheds cuticle first then munch out
64
protocerebrum processes
optic lobe information, circadium rythm, spatial learning, memory
65
deuterocerebrum
antennae, mouth, body wall
66
tritocerebrum
crop, pharynx, foregut, some mouthparts
67
subesophagal ganglia
mouthpart info and peripheral nerves, feeding behaviors, mouth
68
visceral nervous system is located
ventrally
69
thoracic and abdominal ganglia
innervates much of the thorax and abdomen
70
what is a hormone?
chemical released from the endocrine gland or NCS (Neurosecretory cells)
71
Neurosecretory cells are...
neurons that produce hormones (most hormones are produced form these,) are throughout the nervous system
72
Corpus Cardiacum
stores and releases PTTH, or prothoracicotropic hormone, which stimulated thoracic glands
73
Prothoracic gland, which works in tandem with the Corpus Cardiacum,
produces ecdysone, which is the molting hormone
74
Corpus allatum
juvenile hormone (tells which stage to molt into)
75
stemma/ lateral ocelli are what types of eyes
simple eyes
76
what are simple eyes good and bad at
very light sensitive, but lack resolving pwr
77
parts of simple eyes
corneal lense, rhabdom made of retinula cells, pigment cells
78
trichoid sensillum can detect
vibrations
79
Hair rows and hair plates
tells insects what position their bodies are in
80
Proprioceptors
Campaniform sensillum, dome setae that can tell if being touched
81
Gustatory receptors
function in taste (hollow setae w open pore)
82
Olfactory receptors
function in smell
83
Aposition compound eye
high rez, very low light sensitivity
84
Ommatidia
individual facets of eye, (ommatidium s.) allows for 360* view
85
retinacula cell
8 per ommatidium, each contain a rhabdomere
86
MODIFIED OSE
(optical superposition eye) can move pigment within pigment cells to change how light enter the eye to adapt with light levels.
87
optical superposition eye
some pigment cells lack pigment, allowing for groups of ommatidium to process the same light, ups light sensitivity but lowers image quality
