Internal structure and life systems
![Page 13: Exam Tuesday](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56814d51550346895dba88d9/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Exoskeleton
• Arthropods are supported by exoskeletons– Skeleton on outside– Muscles attach to inside
• Exoskeleton is like medieval suit of Armor– Articulating plates = sclerites– Membranes connect sclerites
![Page 14: Exam Tuesday](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56814d51550346895dba88d9/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Respiration
• Terrestrial animals must supply O2 to cells without drying out
• Insect solution relies on waterproof cuticle that allows air to enter at only a few places = spiracles
![Page 15: Exam Tuesday](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56814d51550346895dba88d9/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Respiration
• Spiracles are invaginations of the epidermis
• Cuticle lined air conducting tubes = tracheae
• Tracheae branch and end close to tissues as tracheoles
![Page 16: Exam Tuesday](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56814d51550346895dba88d9/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Breathe air or water?
• Atmospheric breathers:
• Spiracles covered with hairs to prevent water from entering.
![Page 17: Exam Tuesday](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56814d51550346895dba88d9/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Breathe air or water?
• Plant breathers:
• Spiracles modified to pierce plant air channels– Some dipteran larvae, beetle larvae.
![Page 18: Exam Tuesday](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56814d51550346895dba88d9/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Breathe air or water?
• Temporary air stores– Bring bubble underwater
• Belostoma spp.
• Dytiscus spp.
• Permanent air stores– Hairs or meshworks hold gas film = plastron– E.g., riffle beetles (Elmidae)
![Page 19: Exam Tuesday](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56814d51550346895dba88d9/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Breathe air or water?
• Closed tracheal systems
• = no spiracles
• Tracheal gills = outgrowths– In every aquatic insect order, in some species
![Page 20: Exam Tuesday](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56814d51550346895dba88d9/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Circulatory System• Open circulatory system• Blood leaves dorsal blood vessel; percolates
through body cavity (hemocoel)• Thoracic portion of dorsal blood vessel
conducts hemolymph to head• Small pumps move hemolymph into legs,
wings and antennae
![Page 21: Exam Tuesday](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56814d51550346895dba88d9/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The Alimentary Canal
• Gut of an insect is tube that runs from mouth to anus
• Gut functions include:– Digestion of food– Absorption of nutrients across gut wall to hemocoel
• Gut = integumental invaginations from mouth and anus (foregut and hindgut)
• Midgut = nonintegumental connection between foregut and hindgut
![Page 22: Exam Tuesday](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56814d51550346895dba88d9/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The Alimentary Canal
• As food moves through gut it will travel from:
• Mouth->Pharynx->Crop->Proventriculus & Gastric caeca->midgut->Ileum->Rectum
![Page 23: Exam Tuesday](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56814d51550346895dba88d9/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Excretion
• Excretion is removal of waste products of cellular metabolism
• Malpighian tubules = principle excretory organs of insects
• At junction of Midgut and Hindgut• Absorb waste from hemocoel and deposit in hind
gut
![Page 24: Exam Tuesday](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56814d51550346895dba88d9/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Exoskeleton
Exoskeleton = series of tubes
– Hollow tubes stronger then rods
– Size limited, mammal-sized arthropods require prohibitively thick exoskeleton
– larger animals subject to stress related injuries; endoskeleton protected by surrounding tissue
![Page 25: Exam Tuesday](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56814d51550346895dba88d9/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Hydrostatic Skeleton• Relaxed membranous areas can be extended
when muscles compress blood-filled body
• Hydrostatic skeleton maintains shape of soft-bodied larvae, and freshly-molted insect
![Page 26: Exam Tuesday](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56814d51550346895dba88d9/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Integument
• Exoskeleton = noncellular covering– Cuticle – noncellular outermost layer– Epidermis – single layer, secretes cuticle– Epidermis and cuticle separated by subcuticular
space
• Cuticle + Epidermis = Integument
![Page 27: Exam Tuesday](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56814d51550346895dba88d9/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Integument: The cuticle
• Insect cuticles are diverse:– Permeability– Transparency– Rigidity
• Cuticle is laminate – Two major portions:
• Epicuticle • Procuticle
![Page 28: Exam Tuesday](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56814d51550346895dba88d9/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Integument: The Epicuticle
• May be smooth or sculpted
• Rich in lipid and protein– High wax production
• If epicuticle is intact, insects lose little moisture
![Page 29: Exam Tuesday](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56814d51550346895dba88d9/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Integument: The Procuticle
• Divided into layers– Exocuticle – hard dark outer portion– Endocuticle – softer and lighter in color– Made of chitin, protein and lipid
• Chitin is:– colorless polysaccharide– clumped into microfibrils– microfibril orientation compensates for stress
forces
![Page 30: Exam Tuesday](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56814d51550346895dba88d9/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Epidermis
• Epidermis = continuous layer that seals hemocoel from subcuticular space
• Secretes cuticle
![Page 31: Exam Tuesday](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56814d51550346895dba88d9/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Molting
• Arthropods periodically shed exoskeleton to allow for growth and/or metamorphosis
• 7 steps during each molt cycle
![Page 32: Exam Tuesday](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56814d51550346895dba88d9/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
1. Apolysis
• Retraction of epidermal cells from endocuticle
• Formation of subcuticular space
• Molting gel secreted
• New cuticle laid down
![Page 33: Exam Tuesday](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56814d51550346895dba88d9/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
2. Epicuticle formation
• Epicuticle laid down
• It is extensively wrinkled
![Page 34: Exam Tuesday](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56814d51550346895dba88d9/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
3. Procuticle deposition
• Formation of chitin microfibrils
• Endocuticular layers of old cuticle digested
• Enzymes in molting gel initially inactive
![Page 35: Exam Tuesday](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56814d51550346895dba88d9/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
4. Ecdysis
• Old cuticle splits along middorsal suture
• Cast skin = epicuticle and exocuticle
• Endocuticle recovered and recycled into new procuticle
![Page 36: Exam Tuesday](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56814d51550346895dba88d9/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
5. Expansion• Insect swallows air
• Insect swells, removes wrinkles in epicuticle
![Page 37: Exam Tuesday](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56814d51550346895dba88d9/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
6. Hardening and darkening
• New procuticle
stabilized
• Exocuticle formed
![Page 38: Exam Tuesday](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56814d51550346895dba88d9/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
7. Endocuticle deposition
• Depositing chitin and protein takes time
• Some insects deposit one lamina of endocuticle every 24 hours
Note: Ecdysis under hormonal control
