Insect Anatomy Structure and Function

Insect Anatomy: Structure and Function provides both morphological and anatomical descriptions of insect tissues and organs and the underlying genetic mechanisms of their function using updated methods. Insects play important roles in diverse ecosystems, with subsequent, tremendous impacts on human society through disease, agriculture effects, and more. Both beneficial and detrimental insect species continuously challenge agriculture and medicine. Written by international experts of insect morphology and anatomy, this book offers concise descriptions of all parts of an insect’s anatomy, including the brain and nervous system, tracheal system, blood, reproductive organs, and kidney system.
