The document summarizes the different types of sense organs found in insects and their structures and functions. The main sensory organs discussed are mechanoreceptors (touch), chemoreceptors (smell and taste), photoreceptors (vision), auditory receptors (hearing), thermoreceptors (temperature), and hygroreceptors (humidity). Mechanoreceptors include tactile hairs, campaniform organs, and chordotonal organs. Chemoreceptors are located on antennae, mouthparts, tarsi and other body parts. Photoreceptors include compound eyes, dorsal and lateral ocelli. Auditory receptors can be tactile hairs or tympanal organs. Thermore
Chemoreceptors
Chemoreceptors or organs of chemical sense consist of olfactory organs and organs of taste. Both these organs are stimulated only by chemical substances or odours in air (nostrils) and in solution (tongue).
The medium for dissolving substances for taste is water for aquatic animals and mucus for land animals.
The olfactory organs can respond to a low concentration of the dissolved substance, whereas organs of taste need a higher concentration of the dissolved substance for a response.
Olfactory Organs in Vertebrates:
Odours bind to and activate olfactory receptors located on the dendrites of sensory neurons in the nose. Olfactory organs (olfactory-receptors) are a pair of invaginations of the ectodermal cells of the skin forming olfactory sacs on the anterior end of head.
Their external openings are called nostrils or nares.
In most fishes the olfactory organs consist of a pair of pits lined with folds or ridges of sensory epithelium.
The cyclostomes have a single median olfactory organ. This is a blind pit in the lampreys, but in hagfishes it opens into the pharynx.
Dipnoans resemble higher vertebrates in possessing paired nasal passages that open by means of choanae into pharynx. The nasal passages, therefore, have both internal and external openings. The olfactory epithelium within canals appears in the form of folds.
Sensory systems consist of peripheral receptor cells and integrating neurons in the brain.
Impulses are transmitted from receptors by sensory fibres to the central nervous system where they are interpreted as sensations or messages, which are sent to effector organs through efferent or motor nerve fibres, for responding in an appropriate manner.
A vertebrate has receptors or sense organs for touch, smell, taste, sight, and hearing, which are stimulated by the environment. These sense organs are termed external receptors or exteroceptors.
There are other sense organs found in the body, which detect temperature, pain, hunger, thirst, fatigue, and muscle position. They are spoken of as internal receptors or interoceptors.
Besides these two, third is proprioceptors, which are stretch receptors found in the muscles, joints, tendons, connective tissue and skeletons. All receptors are closely associated with the nervous system and respond to external or internal stimuli.
List of Common Senses:
1. Touch.- It includes contact, pressure, heat and cold, etc.
2. Taste. -Receive stimulus by chemicals in solution.
3. Smell.- Receive volatile chemicals and gases in air.
4. Hearing.- Receive sound vibrations.
5. Sight. -Receive light waves.

Sense organs are the specialized organs composed of sensory neurons, which help us to perceive and respond to our surroundings. There are five sense organs – eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and skin.
External receptors (exteroceptors): sense organs for touch, smell, taste, sight and hearing.
Internal receptors (interocepyors): these sense organs found in the body which detect the temperature, pain, hunger, thirst, fatigue and muscle position.

Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.
Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.
DERIVATION OF MODIFIED BERNOULLI EQUATION WITH VISCOUS EFFECTS AND TERMINAL V...Wasswaderrick3
In this book, we use conservation of energy techniques on a fluid element to derive the Modified Bernoulli equation of flow with viscous or friction effects. We derive the general equation of flow/ velocity and then from this we derive the Pouiselle flow equation, the transition flow equation and the turbulent flow equation. In the situations where there are no viscous effects , the equation reduces to the Bernoulli equation. From experimental results, we are able to include other terms in the Bernoulli equation. We also look at cases where pressure gradients exist. We use the Modified Bernoulli equation to derive equations of flow rate for pipes of different cross sectional areas connected together. We also extend our techniques of energy conservation to a sphere falling in a viscous medium under the effect of gravity. We demonstrate Stokes equation of terminal velocity and turbulent flow equation. We look at a way of calculating the time taken for a body to fall in a viscous medium. We also look at the general equation of terminal velocity.

Nutraceutical market, scope and growth: Herbal drug technologyLokesh Patil
As consumer awareness of health and wellness rises, the nutraceutical market—which includes goods like functional meals, drinks, and dietary supplements that provide health advantages beyond basic nutrition—is growing significantly. As healthcare expenses rise, the population ages, and people want natural and preventative health solutions more and more, this industry is increasing quickly. Further driving market expansion are product formulation innovations and the use of cutting-edge technology for customized nutrition. With its worldwide reach, the nutraceutical industry is expected to keep growing and provide significant chances for research and investment in a number of categories, including vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and herbal supplements.

2. Introduction
• The sensory organs are primarily responsible
for the reception of stimuli and pass them on
to the neuro-muscular system, resulting in the
varied behavior patterns of insects.
• Insects can perceive light, sound, scent,
gravity and temperature in minute quantities
often far beyond what can be detected by
other animals.
3. Types of sense organs in insect:
1. Mechanoreceptors
2. Auditory receptors
3. Chemo-receptors
4. Thermo receptors
5. Photo receptors
4. 1.Mechanoreceptors:
Respond to the sense of
touch due to contact with
external solid objects,
current of air and water or
even because of internal
body pressure.
The principal
mechanoreceptors are:
i.The tactile organs or
trichoid sensilla
ii. The campaniform organs
iii. The chordotonal organs
5. I. Tactile organs or trichoid sensilla
• Formed by two cells
Hair: by Trichogen cell
Socket:by Tormogen cell
• The dendrite of the neuron is
enclosed at the base of the
hair by a cuticular tubular
sheath,called scolopale.
• It is in some cases provided
with a distal cap called
scolopale cap.
• It is present on antennae,
tarsi,tibia and cerci of an
insect.
6. ii. The campaniform organs
• Cannot
externally
be seen
but
recognized
dome
from
shaped
cuticle areas
• They occur in
various parts of
body likewing-
base,halters,cerci,
palp and base of
trochanter,femora,
tibia & tarsal
segments.
7. iii. The chordotonal organs
• Consist of single unit or group of
similar units, called Scolopidia.
• They are present in legs at
femoral,distal tibial and tibio-
tarsal regions, in abdomen and
wing base.
• Each scolopidia consists of three
cells
a.Neuron
b.Scolopale cell
c.Cap cell
• Specialized chordotonal organ
a.Johnston’s organ
b.Auditory or Tympanal organ
8. 2. Chemoreceptor (detect smell and
taste)
Chemoreceptor is sensitive to chemicals, stimulation
by chemicals can occur in the following different
ways:
1.Olfactory or smell chemoreceptor: They provide
sense of smell. Mechanism of perception of
chemicals in gaseous state at high concentration is
known as olfaction.
2.Gustatory or contact chemoreceptor: They
provide sense of taste. Mechanism of perception of
chemicals in liquid state at high concentration as
known as contact chemoreceptor.
9. Location of chemoreceptor
Organs of taste are common on
I. The mouthparts, especially the palps,
II. The antennae (Hymenoptera),
III. Tarsi (many Lepidoptera, Diptera, and the honeybee),
IV. Ovipositor (parasitic Hymenoptera and some Diptera) and
V. General body surface.
Organs of smell are located on
i.The antennae are the primary site of olfactory organs and often bear many
thousands of these structures.
ii. The mouthparts also carry olfactory structures in many species.
10.
11. 3. Photoreceptors (detect light
energy)
• Ability to perceive light in visible or near visible
range of the electromagnetic spectrum.
• Organism have to be a pigment capable of
absorbing light of a given wave length and a means
of producing a nervous impulse as a result of this
absorption.
Three types of photoreceptive structures found in
insects:
A. Compound eyes
B. Dorsal ocelli
C. Lateral ocelli (stemmata)
12. A. Compound eyes
• Compound eyes occur in most
adult and hemi-metabolous
larvae on either side of the head
capsule.
• The compound eyes are
composed of a large number of
alike structural units called
ommatidium. The number of
ommatidium varies from insect to
insects.
• Absent is some groups:
a)ancient insect orders (e.g. Protura,
Diplura)
b)wingless parasite adults (lice,
fleas)
c) subterranean termites
d) female scale-insects
e)cave-dwelling forms (sensitivity to
light over the general body surface)
13. B. Dorsal ocelli: Visual organs of
nymph and it vary from 0-3 in
numbers. It contains a single
corneal lens with many visual
cells individually secreting the
rhabdomere. Dorsal ocelli
perceive light to maintain diurnal
rhythm and is not involved in
image perception
C. Lateral ocelli (Stemmata):
Visual organs of holometabolous
larva. Structure is similar to
ommatidium. It helps to detect
form, colour and movement, and
also to scan the environment
14. 4. Auditory receptors (detect sound
waves)
i.Delicate tactile hairs: Present in plumose antenna of male
mosquito.
ii.Tympanum: This is a membrane stretched across tympanic
cavity responds to sounds produced at some distance,
transmitted by airborne vibration.
• Tympanal membranes are linked to chordotonal organs
that enhance sound reception.
• Tympanal organs are located
* Between the metathoracic legs of mantids.
* The metathorax of many nectuid moths.
* The prothoracic legs of many orthopterans.
* The abdomen of short horned grasshopper and cicada.
* The wings of certain moths and lacewings.
15. 5. Thermoreceptors (detect heat)
• Present in poikilothermic insects and
sensitive to temperature changes.
• Qualities like warm and cold are most
poikilothermic
important for
organisms like insects that cannot
maintain a constant body temperature.
• Therefore, insects try to find an
ambient environment, for instance in
the shade, if it is hot, in order to keep
the body at a suitable temperature.
• During early morning hours
butterflies can be observed, spreading
and directing their wings towards the
sun so that the radiant solar energy
influences their body temperature.
16. 6. Hygro-receptors (detect humidity)
• Insects are
monitor the
water/vapor
able to
amount of
in the
surrounding air.
• Insects actively seek out a
preferred humidity or
sources of liquid water.
• Humidity detectors are
typically located on the
antennae, though they
occur on the spiracles and
their surroundings
17. Conclusion
• Insects like ourselves, are responsive to many stimuli in
their surroundings, such as light, heat, touch, chemicals,
and vibrations.
• All insects have sense organs that allow them to see,
smell, taste, hear, and touch their environment.
• It is concluded that insects see what we see, hear what
we hear, smell what we smell, etc .
• They have a variety of receptors which, when
stimulated, pass information in the form of nervous
signals to the central nervous system of the insect.
• The number of signals that are sent will depend on how
strongly the receptor is stimulated and for how long,
and the actions of the insect will vary accordingly.
