1
External Structure of Insects, Functions & Locomotion
Insect surface: exoskeleton & epidermis Head: Mouthparts, Antennae, Eyes Thorax:Thoracic segments, Wings, Legs Abdomen: Segments,Ovipositor,Cerci,Style
3
THE INSECT SURFACE Dermal gland: produce pheromone, repellant
(Exoskeleton) - glycoprotein Dermal gland: produce pheromone, repellant
4
Function of Exoskeleton
Body support Protection Water conservation Location of muscle attachment - allows movement Colouration & Camouflage
5
Exoskeletal Parts Tergite/Tergum (Dorsal,Abdomen)
Notum (Dorsal, Thorax) Pleurum (Lateral) Sternite/Sternum
