INSECT PHYSIOLOGY
The sum total of processes to the maintenance and
replication of insects taken as a group of metabolic systems
Focuses on the function of the structures and the organ
systems of insects and how they carry on their various life
processes
Physiology of insects is basically similar with those of other
animals, however major differences are correlated to the
structures which are specific to this group: exoskeleton, the
circulatory and the respiratory systems
METABOLISM
⚫ The total of all chemical and physical processes within the
organism
⚫ The process that denotes the interconversion of matter and
energy
