Question

Number of crushing teeth present in the gizzard of Cockroach is

• A. Two
• B. Three
• C. Four
• D. Six

Answer 1

The correct option is D Six

The buccal cavity receives the common duct of salivary glands. The cockroach has a pair of salivary glands. Saliva contains amylase which converts starch into sugar.

The oesophagus is short in the length tabular structure while the crop is a large pear-shaped structure. But both are thin-walled structure.

The gizzard is a small, rounded thick walled with muscular chitins lining structure. It has six teeth. These teeth are sharp to grind the food. Gizzard masticates the food.

So the correct answer is 'Six'.
