Question

what is the texture of a cockroach antennae

Answer 1

Because most cockroach species are nocturnal, the tactile sense of the antenna would be essential to determine the position, shape, and texture of surrounding objects in the dark. Mechanoreceptors on the surface of the antenna are primarily responsible for the generation of tactile sense.

Answer 2

Answer:

The cockroach antennae are controlled by five functionally different muscles located inside the head capsule and the scape (Fig. 7, left side). The muscles in the head capsule span between the tentorium (an internal skeleton) and the proximal ends of the scape.
