Arthropod means _______ ____."
"jointed foot
Characteristics of Arthropods:
- Jointed appendages (legs and antennae)
- Exoskeleton that protects and supports; molts to grow
- High cephalization (concentration of nervous tissue •
and sensory organs at anterior end)
Spiders, scorpions, mites, ticks, sea spiders, horseshoe crabs
Subphylum: Chelicerata
Major group within the subphylum Chelicerta
Class: Arachnids
Includes spiders, mites, ticks, scorpions, sea spider
Class: Arachnids
The body of arachnids are divided into 2 major parts:
- Abdomin
- Cephalothorax
_____________ includes 6 pairs of jointed appendages
Cephalothorax
Cephalothorax includes 6 pairs of jointed appendages:
- Pair of chelicerae (pincher like mouth parts)
- Pair of pedipalps (aid in holding food)
- 4 pairs of walking legs
Anatomy of a Spider:
- Chelicerae
- 8 simple eyes
- Spinnerets
- Book lungs
- Malpighian tubules
fangs, used to inject poison
Chelicerae
connected to silk glands; spin a web
Spinnerets
respiration; paired sacs
Book lungs
excretion
Malpighian tubules
Types of Spiders:
- Black widow
- Brown widow
- Brown recluse
female has bright red or orange hourglass shape on ventral surface of abdomen; Attacks nervous system
Black widow
violin-shaped mark on the dorsal surface of the cephalothorax. Venom digests tissue surrounding the bite
Brown recluse
- Have large pincerlike pedipalps that they hold in forward position
- Larger stinger on last segment of abdomen
- Nocturnal
Scorpians
less than a millimeter in size; also known as chiggers; may feed on blood but usually live off of dead skin
Mites
live off of blood of host; carry bacteria; may cause Lyme Disease
Ticks
Centipedes, millipedes, insects
Subphylum: Uniramia
Millipedes
Class: Diplopoda
- Rounded bodies
- 2 pairs of legs on each segment except the last two.
- Poor vision but good sense of smell
- Secrete a noxious fluid that contains cyanide when threatened
Millipedes
- Flattened bodies
- One pair of legs per segment except for 1st and last 2 segments
- Poison claws used to capture prey
Centipedes
Centipedes
Class: Chilopoda
Three main body segments:
Head- 1 pair of antennae
Thorax- 3 pairs of legs and possibly 1 or 2 pairs of wings
Abdomen
Insects
Class: Insecta
Success of insects:
- Exoskeleton
- Jointed appendages
- Small size
Defense mechanisms:
- Camoflage
- Stinging
- Release noxious chemicals
- Warning coloration
Benefits of insects:
- Pollination
- Serve as food for some animals
- Make valuable products such as honey
Negative aspects of insects:
- Compete for food
- Transmit diseases
- Destroy buildings
- Nymph hatches from eggs
- Resembles adult but has no wings and undeveloped reproductive organs
- Molts several times to become an adult, can then reproduce
- Grasshopper, dragonfly, termite
Incomplete Metamorphism
- Wormlike larva hatches from egg
- Molts several times to become pupa
- Pupa molts to produce adult that does not look like pupa or larva
- Butterfly, moth
Complete Metamorphism
Extinct Organisms
Class: Trilobites
Shrimp, lobsters, crabs, crawfish, barnacles, water fleas
Class: Crustacea
