Homework #4 -- External Cross-Sections
6 points
Due by Monday, September 14, 2009 or at
the beginning of class on Tuesday, September 15, 2009.
Draw three cross-sections of an insect's body: one through the mid-point of its head, one through the mid-point of its thorax, and one through the mid-point of its abdomen. Label all major sclerites (e.g. gena, notum, sternum, etc.) and other external structures (e.g. eyes, legs, wings, etc.). Make sure you know the difference between a cross-section (transverse section) and a sagittal section (longitudinal section). Save copies of your drawings -- you will add internal features later.
Submit your answers in class (preferably) or e-mail to john_meyer@ncsu.edu
If you choose to submit via e-mail, save your drawings in PDF format.
If you are not set up to make PDF's, send your file in .gif or .jpg format (no larger than 800 x 1000 px).
