ii)Compound Epithelium
✓
Compound epithelium is made of more than one
layer (multi-layered) of cells and thus has a
limited role in secretion and absorption.
2. Adipose tissue:
It located mainly beneath the skin. The cells of
this tissue are specialised to store fats.
• The excess of nutrients which are not used
immediately are converted into fats and are
stored in this tissue
b)Bones
• Bones have a hard and non-pliable ground
substance rich in calcium salts and collagen
fibres which give bone its strength
• The bone cells (osteocytes) are present in the
spaces called lacunae
COCKROACH a)Head
• Cockroaches are brown or black bodied • Head is triangular in shape It is formed by the
animals that are included in class Insecta of fusion of six segments
Phylum Arthropoda. • Head shows great mobility in all directions
• Bright yellow, red and green coloured

cockroaches have also been reported in
tropical regions. • The head capsule bears a pair of compound

parts.
d)Abdomen
The abdomen in both males and females
consists of 10 segments.
Abdomen in female:
✓ In females, the 7th sternum is boat
shaped and together with the 8th and
9th sterna forms a brood or genital pouch
whose anterior part contains female
gonopore, spermathecal pores and
collateral glands.
Abdomen in male:
a)Foregut:
✓ In males, genital pouch or chamber lies at ❖ It starts with mouth.

❖ The mouth opens into a short tubular

❖ Gizzard helps in grinding the food particles.
The entire foregut is lined by cuticle.
❖ A ring of 6-8 blind tubules called hepatic or
gastric caecae is present at the junction of
foregut and midgut, which secrete digestive

Reproductive system
• Cockroaches are dioecious and both sexes
have well developed reproductive organs.
• The male and female cockroach can be
identified by the difference in their
morphological features . This phenomenon is
called sexual dimorphism
