If the head of cockroach is removed, it may live for few days because:
1. | The cockroach does not have a nervous system. |
2. | The head holds a small proportion of a nervous system while the rest is situated along the ventral part of its body. |
3. | The head holds a third of the nervous system while the rest is situated along the dorsal part of its body. |
4. | The supra-oesophageal ganglia of the cockroach are situated in ventral part of abdomen. |

In Periplaneta americana:
1. | malpighian tubules do not play any role in osmoregulation |
2. | blood vascular system does not deliver oxygen to the tissues |
3. | mosaic vision does not have high sensitivity |
4. | the nymph does not grow by moulting |
The main function of adipose tissue is
1. | providing insulation from heat and cold |
2. | providing protective padding around organs |
3. | to be a reserve of lipids |
4. | providing feedback for hunger and diet to the brain |
Presence of intercalated discs help cardiac muscles to act as a functional syncytium. This is possible because the structure of these discs have:
1. | Tight junctions | 2. | Gap junctions |
3. | Adhering junctions | 4. | Plasmodesmata |
