The document summarizes the different types of sense organs found in insects that allow them to perceive stimuli in their environment. The main sensory types discussed are mechanoreceptors (touch), chemoreceptors (smell and taste), photoreceptors (vision), auditory receptors (hearing), thermoreceptors (temperature), and hygroreceptors (humidity). Each sensory type is located in different parts of the insect's body and composed of specialized cells and structures that detect stimuli and transmit sensory information to the central nervous system. Insects have evolved diverse sense organs that allow them to perceive and respond to their surroundings in similar ways as other animals through different receptors for various environmental cues.
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.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.

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.
