Head appendages found in anthropods

1) Compound eye - one of the two eye types most anthropods have. They detect edges and are capable of forming images.

2) Ocelli - the other type of anthropod eye. Also known as simple eyes. They can detect lower light levels and have a faster response time.

3) Antennae - They are sensory organs. They sense touch, air motion, heat, sound vibration, olfaction or smell, and gustation or taste.

4) Labrum
5) mandible
6) maxilla
7) labium
