Document Summary
Islets of langerhans (pancreas), blood vessels in hepatic portal system and visceral adipose tissue and the vertebrate gut produces neural and endocrine signals that affect energy controllers: leptin is a circulating hormone that provides information about energy store to the brain . Birds shorter small intestine with extensive villi increases absorptive surface . In a locust, joint between femur and tibia is a simple hinge, moves in a single plane appear to be separate tubular structures covered by a continuous cuticle that is hardened over tibia and femur but flexible over the joint muscles connected to the tibia by apodemes the extensor muscles are stronger and power the jump of locusts. Wing membrane are made up of skin and supported by fingers 2, 3, 4 and 5; feathers from the flight surface and fingers are fused. Skin flight membranes and supported by single elongated finger: endocrine cells secrete hormones in the circulatory system.
