The abdomen is the part of the insect body that is composed of 11 parts. It occurs as the last of three body segments, after the head at the top and the thorax in the middle. The segments represent the junction of concave upper integumental plates called tergites and lower called sternites through a stretchable but tough membrane as well as the protection for breathing (through spiracles), digestive, hearing (through tympanum) and reproductive organs.
