commissures. Different groups of arthropods exhibit different degrees of fusion of the ganglia. In insects the first ganglion‚ the subesophageal‚ is formed by fusion of three pairs of ganglia; it sends nerves to the mouthparts and to the salivary glands. The segmental ganglia in the thorax and abdomen provide nerves to the appendages‚ dorsal muscles‚ sense organs‚ and heart. Insects have 3 pairs of thoracic ganglia and up to 10 abdominal ganglia. The most common sensory receptors in arthropods are

secreted by the exocrine gland in the pancreas help break down carbohydrates‚ fats‚ proteins‚ and acids in the duodenum. These enzymes travel down the pancreatic duct into the bile duct in an inactive form. When they enter the duodenum‚ they are activated. The exocrine tissue also secretes a bicarbonate to neutralize stomach acid in the duodenum 3. Briefly outline the endocrine and exocrine functions of the pancreas. – The exocrine function helps in digestion and an endocrine function that regulates
