Insect are animals , but unlike many animals , they have no backbone .
They have an outer support system called an exoskeleton rather than the inner support system ( endoskeleton ) characteristic of most large animals .
Crash-Course for AIPMT & Other Medical Exams 2016 (Essentials cockroach)APEX INSTITUTE
Dear Students/Parents
We at 'Apex Institute' are committed to provide our students best quality education with ethics. Moving in this direction, we have decided that unlike other expensive and 5star facility type institutes who are huge investors and advertisers, we shall not invest huge amount of money in advertisements. It shall rather be invested on the betterment, enhancement of quality and resources at our center.
We are just looking forward to have 'word-of-mouth' publicity instead. Because, there is only a satisfied student and his/her parents can judge an institute's quality and it's faculty members coaching.
Those coaching institutes, who are investing highly on advertisements, are actually, wasting their money on it, in a sense. Rather, the money should be invested on highly experienced faculty members and on teaching gears.
We all at 'Apex' are taking this initiative to improve the quality of education along-with each student's development and growth.
Committed to excellence...
With best wishes.

Insects have an exoskeleton composed of a tough, outer cuticle that provides support and protection. Sclerites are the distinct, hardened plates or regions formed by the exoskeleton. These sclerites serve various functions, such as providing structural support, attachment points for muscles, and protection for internal organs. The exoskeleton is not a continuous structure but is divided into sclerites, giving the insect flexibility and mobility.
Sutures, on the other hand, are the lines or seams where different sclerites meet and are joined together. They are essentially the articulation points in the exoskeleton, allowing for movement and flexibility. Sutures are often more flexible than the surrounding cuticle, enabling the insect to bend and articulate its body parts.
The arrangement and shape of sclerites, as well as the complexity of sutures, vary among different insect species. These features are crucial for an insect's ability to move, feed, reproduce, and adapt to its environment. The study of sclerites and sutures is essential in entomology for classifying and understanding the diverse morphology of insects.Sclerites and sutures in insects provide several advantages. Sclerites, as hardened plates of the exoskeleton, offer structural support and protection, enhancing the insect's overall body strength and resilience. They contribute to the insect's ability to withstand physical stress and environmental challenges.
Sutures, which are flexible joints between sclerites, allow for movement and flexibility in the insect's body. This flexibility is crucial for various activities such as feeding, mating, and navigating through the environment. Sutures enable the insect to have a segmented body, promoting agility and adaptability.
In summary, sclerites and sutures work together to provide a balance of strength and flexibility, allowing insects to perform essential life functions efficiently in diverse environments.
Sclerotization is the process by which the exoskeleton of an insect hardens and becomes more durable. It's like when the insect's exoskeleton toughens up, kind of like when a caterpillar turns into a butterfly!
Sclerotization is a chemical process that occurs after an insect molts. It involves the hardening of the exoskeleton through the formation of chemical bonds, making it more rigid and protective. This process is essential for the insect's survival and allows for movement and protection. So, when an insect molts, the chemical bonds in its exoskeleton go through a process of cross-linking. This cross-linking makes the exoskeleton tougher and more resistant to damage. It's like the molecules are holding hands and forming a super strong structure.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. Cockroach and Grasshopper is a typical insect as it
possesses all important characters of class insect.
In general, insect body is divided in to a series of
rings or segments are known as “somites” or
“metameres”.
The type of arrangement of these body segments in
embryonic stage is known as primary segmentation
while in adult insects is known as the secondary
segmentation.
3. Insect body is divided in to three regions or tagmata
namely head, thorax and abdomen.
This grouping of body segments in to regions is known as
tagmosis.
Head consists of 6 segments i.e., mouthparts, compound
eyes, simple eyes (ocelli) and a pair of antennae.
Thorax consists of 3 segments i.e. prothorax,
mesothorax and metathorax. Meso and metathorax are
together known as pterothorax.
All the three thoracic segments possess a pair of legs and
meso and meta thorax possess one pair of wings.
Abdomen has 11 segments with genital appendages on
8th and 9th segments.
The insect body generally consists of 20 segments.
6. It is the foremost part in insect body consisting of 6
segments that are fused to form a head capsule.
The head segments can be divided in to two regions
i.e. procephalon and gnathocephalon (mouth).
Head is attached or articulated to the thorax through
neck or cervix.
Head capsule is sclerotized and the head capsule
excluding appendages formed by the fusion of several
sclerites is known as cranium.
Inside the head, an endoskeletal structure called the
tentorium which give supports to the brain, and
provides a rigid origin for muscles of the mandibles and
other mouthparts.
Head is concerned with feeding and sensory
perception.
7. Types of head position
The orientation of head with respect to the rest of the
body varies.
According to the position or projection of mouth parts
the head of the insect can be classified as:
(a) Hypognathous (Hypo–Below and Gnathous –Jaw)
• The head remain vertical and is at right angle to the
long axis of the body and mouth parts are ventrally
placed and projected downwards. This is also kwown
as Orthopteroid type. Eg: Grass hopper, Cockroach.
8. (b) Prognathous : (Pro– infront and Gnathous –
Jaw)
The head remains in the same axis to body and mouth
parts are projected forward. This is also known as
Coleopteroid type. Eg: beetles
9. (c) Opisthognathous : (Opistho– behind and
Gnathous Jaw)
It is same as prognathous but mouthparts are directed
backward and held in between the fore legs. This is
also kwown as Hemipteroid or Opisthorhynchous type.
Eg: bugs, Mosquito
10. SCLERITES AND SUTURES OF HEAD
The head capsule is formed by the union of number of
sclerites or cuticular plates or areas which are joined
together by means of cuticular lines or ridges known as
sutures or any of the large or small sclerotized/harden
areas of the body wall.
These sutures provide mechanical support to the
cranial wall.
Suture
The sclerites separated from each other by means of
thin impressed line called suture. (Sometimes referred
as a sulcus).
11. Generally insect possess the following sclerites:
1. Labrum: It is small sclerite that forms the upper lip of
the mouth cavity. It is freely attached clypeus by means
of clypolabral suture.
2. Clypeus: It is situated above the labrum, separated by
fronto-clypeal suture & also separated from gena by
clypogenal suture.
3. Frons: It is unpaired, facial part of the head capsule
lying between the arms of epicranial suture.
4. Gena: It is the area extending from below the
compound eyes to just above the mandibles. It is
separated from frons by frontoganal suture and from
clypeus clypogenal suture.
12. 5. Epicranium: It forms the upper part of the head
extending from frons to the neck.
6. Vertex: It is the top portion of epicranium which lies
behind the frons or the area between the two
compound eyes.
7. Epicranial Suture: Starting from the dorsal portion of
the epicranium is an inverted Y shape suture known as
epicranial suture or ecdysial line. The head capsule
breaks open along this line at the time of moulting.
13. 8. Occiput: It is an inverted “U” shaped structure
representing the area between the epicranium and
post occiput.
9. Post occiput: It is the extreme posterior part of the
insect head that remains before the neck region.
10. Occular sclerites: These are cuticular ring like
structures present around each compound eye.
11. Antennal sclerites: These form the basis for the
antennae and present around the scape.
15. The common sutures present in head are:
1. Clypeolabral suture: It is the suture present between
clypeus and labrum.
2. Clypeofrontal suture or epistomal suture: The
suture present between clypeus and frons.
3. Epicranial suture: It is an inverted ‘Y’ shaped suture
distributed above the facial region extending up to
the epicranial part of the head.
4. Occipital suture: It is ‘U’ shaped or horseshoe
shaped suture between epicranium and occiput.
5. Genal suture: It is the sutures present on the lateral
side of the head i.e. gena.
16. 6. Post occipital suture: It is the only real suture in
insect head. Posterior end of the head is marked by
the post occipital suture to which the sclerites are
attached. As this suture separates the head from the
neck, hence named as real suture.
7. Occular suture: It is circular suture present around
each compound eye.
8. Antennal suture: It is a marginal depressed ring
around the antennal socket.
