Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The nerves of the eyes and the two pairs of antennae connect to the supraesophageal ganglion, which is a part of the insect central nervous system responsible for processing sensory information from these organs. The subesophageal ganglion deals with motor control and connects to the supraesophageal ganglion. The thoracic ganglion controls the movements of the insect's legs and wings, while the antennal glands are responsible for producing pheromones. The statocyst is a sensory organ found in some aquatic invertebrates, but not in insects.
