Gland Polyptychica

Polyptychic gland (lat. G. polyptychica) is a type of gland that is located in the lower part of the mouth in some species of beetles. The name comes from the Greek word “polyptychos” - multi-layered, which indicates the peculiarity of the structure of this gland.

The polyptychic gland consists of many small glands located on one common rod. Each gland has its own secretion channel, which can be used for various purposes. For example, in some beetle species, polyptychic glands are used to defend against predators by secreting chemicals that can repel or even kill attackers.

In addition, the polyptychic glands can be used to attract partners during the mating season. In some species of beetles, polyptychic glands secrete pheromones that attract males or females.

Thus, the polyptychic gland is an important organ in many species of beetles and plays an important role in their life.

Polyptic gland or g.polyptychos is a substance secreted by the glands of the uterine body, which plays an important role in the process of pregnancy and childbirth. It is a polypeptide consisting of several amino acids and shaped like a folded leaf. This unique substance performs several important functions during pregnancy.
