Quiz—Sept 24 1) The recurrent nerve connects receptors in the foregut of flies to the central nervous system. Cutting this nerve causes a fly to . . . a) continue to eat until it bursts b) continue to eat low quality food even when higher quality food is available c) continue looking for food even when its digestive system is full 2) In insects, each segment of the body typically has its own ganglion. If connections from more anterior nuclei are cut, electrical stimulation of the segmental nuclei results in . . . a) activation of all of the segmental ganglia posterior to the electrically stimulated ganglion b) vigorous, complete motions by any limbs attached to the semental ganglion that is stimulated c) inhibition of all of the segmental ganglia posterior to the electrically stimulated ganglion 3) If you don’t choose answer “a)” you’ll get this question wrong!
