  1. ARTHROPODA Phylum

  2. Major Classes • Arachnids: spiders, scorpions, ticks, mites • Millipedes • Centipedes • Insects: beetles, flies, wasps, bees, grasshoppers, crickets • Crustaceans: crabs, lobsters, crayfish, shrimp, barnacles, copepods

  3. Common Features of Arthropods • Exoskeleton(external skeleton) is made of layers of protein and chitin, provides attachments for muscles, and is impermeable to water. • Molting: shedding of cuticle in order to secrete a larger one. Makes the arthropod vulnerable. • Open circulatory system: hemolymph fluid flows through open spaces (sinuses) which surround organs and tissues. Important for nutrient transport. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXhdr0TpOwY molting spider

  4. Common Features of Arthropods (cont.) • Tracheal system: branched tubes with chitin lining that carry O2 directly to cells (insects only) • Spiracles: openings in exoskeleton that allow air to enter tracheal system (insects only)

  5. Two body plans • Head, thorax, abdomen • Cephalothorax, abdomen

  6. Insects: Mandibles and lots of mouth parts

  7. Unique Arthropod Features • Mandibles: jaw-like feeding apparatuses contained by unimarians (centipedes, millipedes, insects) and crustaceans http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRbgsCLaAQY camel spider eating a frog

  8. Camel Spider(class Arachnida; order Solifugae) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRbgsCLaAQY camel spider eating a frog It does not spin webs or have book lungs. Many rumors about the camel spiders’ speed, size and venom. In the middle east, it was said that these big, fast spiders would come into your tent at night and inject an anaesthetizing venom that would put its victims to sleep and feed on victim leaving a gaping wound. This is false, except that they do leave a large bite prone to infection.

  9. Spider Feeding Spiders use a fang like chelicerae equipped with poison glands to kill prey caught in web. Instead of fully chewing their prey, the spider will spill digestive juices onto prey. This softens the food and the spider will suck up the liquid.

  10. Unique Arthropod Features (cont.) • Antennae: sensory organs that come in pairs on the organism’s head • Compound eyes: eyes with many parts and multiple separate focusing elements

  11. Metamorphosis: a relatively abrupt change in form or structure Life Cycle

  12. Incomplete Metamorphosis: grasshoppers Young are similar to adults, but have different body proportions and are smaller. There are a series of molts that eventually lead to the organism reaching full size.

  13. Complete Metamorphosis There are several distinct stages: Larval stage - specialized for eating and growing Pupal Stage - actual change occurs Adult stage - specialized for reproduction

  14. Centipede vs. milliped e • Centipede; fangs, venom,carnivore, fast moving 1 pair of legs per segment • Millipede: slow, herbivore, rounder body, 2 pairs of legs per segment http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Jo9s80Tz-w&feature=PlayList&p=3260ECB787EF9616&playnext=1&index=7 giant millipede http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2f5gBFMMmGc giant cenitpede eating a tarantula
