Solution
The correct option is B crop The sympathetic nervous system of the cockroach is composed of four ganglia (dense mass of nerve cell bodies) and the nerves arising from them. These include -
*The frontal ganglion
*The occipital ganglion
*The visceral ganglion
*The ingluvial ganglion
The ingluvial ganglion is present on the surface of the crop. A pair of ingluvial nerves arise posteriorly over the crop from this ganglionic mass.
