Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The prothoracic glands are responsible for the production and secretion of ecdysone, which triggers the molting process in insects. The corpora cardiaca and corpora allata are involved in regulating other aspects of insect physiology such as metabolism and reproduction, but not directly in molting. The mandibular and maxillary glands are involved in digestion, and the green glands are excretory organs found in some crustaceans. Corpora quadrigemina are part of the brain responsible for processing visual and auditory information in some animals.
