Explanation

The walls of spiracles in insects like cockroaches are lined with chitinous bristles. These bristles help in filtering out dust particles and other debris, preventing them from entering the tracheal system. Chitin is a structural component in the exoskeletons of arthropods, making it a suitable material for this function.

Explanation

In Periplaneta (the common cockroach), the Malpighian tubules are located at the junction of the midgut and hindgut, and there are about 150 of them. These tubules play a crucial role in the excretory system, helping to remove waste products from the hemolymph.

In cockroach color of Malpighian tubules is .......... and their........ end is blind.
