Insect Internal Anatomy
Insect Internal Anatomy
The internal structure of an insect consists of the digestive, circulatory, nervous, respiratory, and reproductive systems.
Alimentary Canal
Alimentary Canal
The alimentary canal is the main part of the digestive system, including foregut (stomodium), midgut (mesentron), and hindgut (proctodium).

Study Notes
- The content is about the internal anatomy and metamorphosis of insects.
Internal Anatomy of Insects
- The internal anatomy includes the digestive, circulatory, nervous, respiratory, and reproductive systems
Digestive System
- The digestive system is also known as the alimentary canal
- The alimentary canal consists of the foregut or Stomodeum, the midgut or Mesentron, and the hindgut or Proctodium
- Salivary glands are also part of the digestive system
Circulatory System
- The circulatory system is open
- Its structure consists of blood vessels, hemocoel, and blood
Nervous System
- The nervous system includes the brain or circumesophageal ganglia, double nerve cord, ganglia, and pairs of nerves
Respiratory System
- Respiration occurs through the tracheal system, cutaneous respiration, or gills
Metamorphosis in Insects
- Metamorphosis types include Ametabola, Paurometabola, Hemimatabola, and Holometabola
Ametabola
- Ametabola is a type of metamorphosis without significant change
- The life stages are eggs, undifferentiated stage, and adult
- An example is the silverfish (Thysanura)
Paurometabola
- Paurometabola involves gradual metamorphosis
- The life stages are eggs, nymph, and adult
- An example is the American cockroach (Periplaneta americana)
Holometabola
- Holometabola involves complete metamorphosis
- The life stages are eggs, larva, pupa, and adult
- Examples include mosquitoes, moths, and butterflies
Insect Body Wall
- The insect body wall is also known as the insect integument
