Entomology Flashcard

Front

Difference between synchronous and asynchronous: Synch

Back

One wing flapper nerve impulse, slow flapping, can't hear it

Front

Difference between synchronous and asynchronous flight muscles: Asynchronous

Back

Up to hundreds of wings per one nerve impulse

Front

Basic nerve cell

Back

neuron

Front

3 types: Sensory

Back

Receives input/ stimulus (light, heat, sound movement, chemicals)

Front

3 types: Interneuron

Back

"Processes" the signal (good? bad?)

Front

3 types: Motor Neuron

Back

Connects to muscles and does the response to the stimulus. Fly? Jump?Grab?

Front

Endocrine

Back

Hormones! travel through body fluids

Front

Ecdysis

Back

Molting

Front

Are insects able to make their own ecdysteroids that stimulate mounting?

Back

No - they need to get those compounds from their diet.

Front

Juvenile Hormone

Back

Keeps an insect in an immature stage, surpasses wing development, etc. Only the absence of OH will then allow an insect to finish developing as an adult
