Are there any spiracles . On thoracic segment?
No, the only spiracles are on the abdominal segments. Those open up th large tracheal tubes.
Do the abdominal segments have spiracles in grasshoppers?
Honey bees have ten spiracles (breathing pores). Three are on the thorax, and seven on the abdomen. The spiracles are the openings to the trachea, which expand and collapse like lungs in response to abdominal wall movement. Two large sacs in the abdomen and smaller ones in the head and thorax lead to very small breathing tubes with blind ends which are filled with liquid which absorbs oxygen and which diffuses into the tissues.
Do abdominal segments have spiracles on on a grasshopper?
Yes
Do all the abdominal spiracles have segments?
Yes.
On what segments of the thorax can spiracles be found?
they are found on the abdomin, and parts of the thorax
How does a millipede breathe?
By a tracheal system as in insects, with branched air tubes . A pair of spiracles allows air to enter each segment
Where are the spiracles located on a dragonfly?
Spiracles are used by grasshoppers for respiration. Air is taken in throught the spiracles and filtered by hairs in tubes called tracheae. The trachea branch out through the body eventually ending in Tracheoles where the oxygen is distributed to cells and carbon dioxide is taken out and back throught the trachea and exits the body through the spiracles
Lordosis affects the thoracic vertebrae?
Cervical and lumbar segments are physiologically lordotic, it's normal. The thoracic lordosis is a spinal deformity, so yes, this may affect the thoracic vertebrae.
What is an air opening in the abdomen of an arthropod?
The air openings on abdominal segments of terrestrial arthropods would be spiracles, which connect to the trachea and tracheoles to directly oxygenate tissues and remove waste gasses. The spiracles are regulated by muscles to open or close to reduce water loss.
Dendrites and cell bodies of sympathetic preganglionic neurons are located in the?
gray matter of the thoracic and upper lumbar segments of the spinal cord
How can insects reduce water loss?
Spiracles form a part of the abdomen region of the grasshopper. They consist of tiny holes that permit air to enter trachea. Spiracles lie along the sides of the abdomen and the thorax. Tubes stem out from the spiracles and carry air to all parts of the body for respiration. The trachea is the respiratory surface of the grasshopper. Since water travels easily along this surface, it is prone to water loss. The respiratory surface is protected thanks to spiracles. Grasshoppers have two thoracic and eight abdominal spiracles. These insects have valves that allow them to close their spiracles, thus reducing water loss. Spiracles are known to possess intricate opening and closing mechanisms that are physiologically helpful to regulate air flow and lessen water loss from the insect
Why are spiracles important?
