2. Insect physiology - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insect_physiology

   The main function of insect blood, hemolymph, is that of transport and it bathes the insect's body organs. Making up usually less than 25% of an insect's body weight, it transports hormones, nutrients and wastes and has a role in osmoregulation, temperature control, immunity, storage (water, carbohydrates and fats) and skeletal function.

3. Insect mouthparts - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insect_mouthparts

   The hypopharynx is a somewhat globular structure, located medially to the mandibles and the maxillae. In many species it is membranous and associated with salivary glands. It assists in swallowing the food. The hypopharynx divides the oral cavity into two parts: the cibarium or dorsal food pouch and ventral salivarium into which the salivary ...

4. Insect morphology - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insect_morphology

   The salivary glands (element 30 in numbered diagram) in an insect's mouth produce saliva. The salivary ducts lead from the glands to the reservoirs and then forward through the head to an opening called the salivarium, located behind the hypopharynx. By moving its mouthparts (element 32 in numbered diagram) the insect can mix its food with saliva.

5. Cockroach - Wikipedia

   Many remedies have been tried in the search for control of the major pest species of cockroaches, which are resilient and fast-breeding. Household chemicals like sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) have been suggested, without evidence for their effectiveness. [ 83 ]

6. Salivatory nuclei - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salivatory_nuclei

   Preganglionic fibers en route to the pterygopalatine ganglion (destined to ultimately innervate the lacrimal gland and the mucosal glands of the nose, palate, and pharynx) subsequently form the greater petrosal nerve, whereas those en route to the submandibular ganglion (destined to ultimately innervate the submandibular and sublingual salivary glands) subsequently form the chorda tympani.

7. Insect pheromones - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insect_pheromones

   Honey bees possess 15 glands with which they produce and release a number of different substances, thus maintaining a complex communication system based on pheromones. [ 36 ] [ 37 ] Males of various butterfly species possess so-called androconial organs in the abdomen with which they can disseminate pheromones, while other moths release them ...

8. Salivary gland - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salivary_gland

   The two parotid glands are major salivary glands wrapped around the mandibular ramus in humans. [6] These are largest of the salivary glands, secreting saliva to facilitate mastication and swallowing, and amylase to begin the digestion of starches. [7] It is the serous type of gland which secretes alpha-amylase (also known as ptyalin). [8]

9. Diploptera punctata - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diploptera_punctata

   Diploptera punctata, the Pacific beetle cockroach, is a species of cockroach in the family Blaberidae and subfamily Diplopterinae. [1] It is one of the few cockroach species that is viviparous . Adults are chemically defended , having a modified tracheal gland and spiracle on each side which squirts quinones which can poison or discourage a ...
