Invertebrates 4 Phylum Arthropoda
Basic Arthropod Features (cont.) • Paired, jointed appendages • joints allow for flexibility • Segmentation • In some, have similar segments throughout body • In most: Segments combined into specialized body regions • Crustaceans have 2 regions: cephalothorax, abodomen • Insects have 3 regions: head, thorax and abdomen • Exoskeleton • Same materials also in mouthparts, wings, eye lens
Focus on Molting • Function: growth • New exoskeleton built under old • stretching by water or air in the digestive system and hemocoel • vulnerable to predators while hardening • mating can coincide with soft shell in female crabs • Some arthropods grow all life • Hormonal control
Subphylum Crustacea • Examples: Lobsters, crabs, shrimp, barnacles, copepods, etc..
Subphylum Unirama • Insects, centipedes, millipedes
Subphylum Chelicerata • Spiders, mites, scorpions, horseshoe crabs
Various aspects of anatomy, physiology and behavior • Feeding • Class Crustacea • Class Insecta • Subphylum Chelicerata • Circulation/gas exchange • Open circulatory system • Respiration varies amongst subphyla and classes • Class Crustacea: gills • Class Insecta: tracheal system. CARRIES OXYGEN AND CO2 • Subphylum Chelicerata: tracheal system, book gills and book lungs • Water/ion balance and ammonia excretion • Crustacea: gills and green glands • Insecta and Chelicerata: Malpighian tubules
Various aspects of anatomy, physiology and behavior • Nervous system • Cerebral ganglia • Ventral nerve cord (paired, fused) • Ganglia in each segment , or one ganglion for several segments • Reproductive systems • Usually internal fertilization • Spermatophores • Sperm storage
