SummaryInnervation of the antennal heart, an independent accessory circulatory motor in the head of insects, was investigated in the cockroach Periplaneta americana by use of axonal cobalt filling and transmission electron microscopy. The muscles associated with this organ are innervated by neurones located in a part of the suboesophageal ganglion, generally considered to be formed by the mandibular neuromere. Dorsal unpaired median (DUM) and paired contralateral neurones were stained. The…

Antennal circulatory organs in Onychophora, Myriapoda and Hexapoda: Functional morphology and evolutionary implications
- BiologyZoomorphology
- 2005
The evolution of pulsatile antennal circulatory organs in the Neoptera is the result of the association of muscles with the proximal ampullary ends of the antennals, which indicate a derivation from precerebral pharyngeal dilators.
Octopaminergic innervation and a neurohaemal release site in the antennal heart of the locust Schistocerca gregaria

It is concluded that octopamine released from the neurohaemal area is pumped into the antennae and an involvement in the modulation of the antennal sensory sensitivity is discussed.
Antennal ampullary glands of Helicoverpa zea (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)
- BiologyCell and Tissue Research
- 2003
An ultrastructural study revealed that the antennal ampullary gland of the corn earworm moth, Helicoverpa zea, is composed of a single type of 40–50 parenchymal cells that produce secretory granules, suggesting that the AAG is an endocrine gland.
The morphology of suboesophageal ganglion cells innervating the nervus corporis cardiaci III of the locust
- BiologyCell and Tissue Research

Staining of the NCC III towards the periphery reveals that the branching pattern of this nerve is extremely variable, and it innervates the retrocerebral glandular complex, the antennal heart and pharyngeal dilator muscles, and has a connection to the frontal ganglion.

Outgroup comparison indicates that an antennal heart with a M. interampullaris is the plesiomorphic character state among Embioptera and the likely ground pattern of the taxon Eukinolabia, supporting the view that Australembiidae are the sister group of the remaining Embiopters.
