  • Title: [Localization of the receptors that initiate and maintain flight in the cockroach, Periplaneta americana].
    Author: Iagodin SV.
    Journal: Zh Evol Biokhim Fiziol; 1979; 15(6):576-82. PubMed ID: 516944.
    Abstract:
    Using local air streams, screening and surgical removal of the cerci and antennae, studies have been made on the receptors which provide for initiation and maintenance of the flight in the cockroach. It was shown that in suspended insect which lacks any contacts of legs with the base, the flight may be initiated by direct air currents either on the cerci, or antennae. Receptors which maintain the flight are located on the antennae and wings, the prolonged flight being provided mainly by antennae receptors.
