WHAT DOES POISER MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Halteres

Halteres are small knobbed structures modified from the hindwings in some two-winged insects. They are flapped rapidly and function as gyroscopes, informing the insect about rotation of the body during flight. The word 'halter' comes from Greek ἁλτήρ, a double knobbed device used in Ancient Greece by athletes during training in jumping. In Diptera, the formation of the haltere during metamorphosis is dependent on the homeotic gene Ultrabithorax. If this gene is experimentally deactivated, the haltere will develop into a fully developed wing. This is an excellent illustration of a simple homeotic gene change resulting in a radically different phenotype. Halteres flap up and down as the wings do and operate as vibrating structure gyroscopes. Every vibrating object tends to maintain its plane of vibration if its support is rotated, a result of Newton's first law. If the body of the insect changes direction in flight or rotates about its axis, the vibrating halteres thus exert a force on the body. The insect detects this force with sensory organs known as campaniform sensilla located at the base of the halteres.
