|
"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:
|

|
Anatomy of a Spider:
|
- Chelicerae

- 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

|
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
