Anatomy and Classification of Cockroaches

The text discusses the anatomy of a cockroach, starting with the general features of a cockroach and its classification within the phylum Arthropoda.
Cockroaches belong to the class Insecta, which is the largest class in the phylum due to the abundance of insects worldwide.
Cockroaches are nocturnal creatures, active during the night, and are omnivorous, consuming a variety of foods without fuss.
Cursorial cockroaches are fast runners, capable of evading predators or threats by running quickly.
Cockroaches possess wings that extend beyond the tip of the abdomen, aiding in their swift movements.
The body of a cockroach is divided into three parts: head, thorax, and abdomen, with distinct segments in each.
The thorax of a cockroach consists of three segments: prothorax, mesothorax, and metathorax, each with specific features like the pronotum.
Cockroaches have jointed legs with appendages, allowing them to move swiftly and efficiently.
The sensory structures of cockroaches include antennae for sensing their environment and compound eyes for vision.
The body of a cockroach is covered with a hard exoskeleton made of chitin, providing protection and support for survival in various conditions.

03:00:04

Meta-meric segmentation in cockroach anatomy.

Meta-meric segmentation is an important feature seen in certain phyla.
Meta-meric segmentation is visible in specific organisms.
Each segment in meta-meric segmentation is called a "meta mayor every segment."
Segments in meta-meric segmentation are covered with an exoskeleton.
The exoskeleton in meta-meric segmentation is referred to as scleritis.
Scleritis is present in cockroaches and is observed in their body.
The cockroach's body structure includes a hard plate called scleritis.
Scleritis is connected by a flexible membrane called arthrodial membrane.
Cockroach development involves stages from egg to nymph to adult.
The head of a cockroach is formed by the fusion of six segments and is connected to the thorax by a short neck extension.

03:18:10

Insect Anatomy: Thorax, Wings, Legs, Abdomen, Digestive

The thorax of an insect is divided into three regions: prothoracic, mesothoracic, and metathoracic regions.
The wings of an insect are not derived from the prothorax but from the mesothorax and metathorax.
The legs of an insect are present in all three thoracic segments: prothoracic, mesothoracic, and metathoracic legs.
The front wings of an insect are called datchi and are either tegmina or elytra, while the hind wings are known as metafours wings.
The hind wings of an insect are transparent, membranous, and used for flight.
The abdomen of an insect has 10 segments, with a structure called the genital pouch present in both males and females.
The genital pouch in males and females is formed by the fusion of the seventh, eighth, and ninth sternites.
The female genital pouch contains openings for structures like the sperm tube, oviduct, and colleterial gland.
The male and female genital pouches have different openings for structures like the sperm pore and colleterial gland.
The digestive system of a cockroach consists of the mouth, pharynx, esophagus, crop, and gizzard, collectively known as the foregut.

03:35:50

Insect Anatomy: Digestion, Respiration, Circulation, and More

The structures between the fore gut and mid gut, numbering six to eight, are known as Hepatomegaly and are crucial in NEET exams.
The location of these structures is between the fore gut and mid gut, with a total of six to eight in number, and their function is to activate digestive juice.
The mid gut is a tube that is slightly wider than the hind gut, and digestion primarily occurs in this part of the gut.
The hind gut is described as a part that needs improvement, and it is connected to the mid gut through a tube.
Between the mid gut and hind gut, there are structures known as Loish Greenie, numbering between 100 to 150.
The respiratory system of insects is called the tracheal system, where air enters through spiracles and travels through trachea and tracheoles to reach tissues via simple diffusion.
The spiracles on the lateral side of insects regulate opening and closing, guarded by spirals to control airflow.
In the circulatory system of cockroaches, the heart is located ventrally and has 13 chambers, with blood known as hemolymph circulating through an open system.
The hemolymph in cockroaches is colorless and spreads through an open cavity in the body, expanding into sinuses.
The heart in cockroaches has lateral openings for hemolymph to enter, functioning as part of their open circulatory system.

03:54:30

Cockroach heart anatomy and hemolymph circulation

The body cavity is filled with hemolymph, where all the cockroach's visceral organs are located.
Hemolymph enters the heart through a lateral opening, regulated by fan-shaped alary muscles between two chambers.
A total of 12 pairs of alary muscles are present between the 13 chambers of the heart, controlling the ostia opening and closing.
Hemolymph moves from the posterior to anterior direction within the heart chamber, entering the cephalic sinus.
