Question

In cockroach, wings are elevated by the contraction of:

• A. Dorso-ventral muscles
• B. Alary muscles
• C. Dorso-longitudinal muscles
• D. Adductor muscles

Hint:

In insects, indirect flight muscles control wing movement through thoracic compression.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understanding Cockroach Wing Mechanism
- Dorso-ventral muscles contract to raise the wings.
- Dorso-longitudinal muscles lower the wings.
- Alary muscles are related to pumping blood.
- Adductor muscles help in leg movement, not wing elevation.
