have a segmented body, a tough exoskeleton, and jointed appendages
arthropods
a tough external covering, like a suit of armor that protects and supports the body
exoskeleton
exoskeleton made from protein and a carbohydrate called
chitin
structures such as legs and antennae that extend form the body wall
appendages
the evolution of arthropods has led to - body segments and highly specialized appendages for feeding, movement, and other functions
fewer
most terrestrial arthropods breathe through a network of branching - - that extend throughout the body
tracheal tubes
air enters and leaves the tracheal tubes through
spiracles
organs that have layers of respiratory tissues stacked like the pages of a book
Book lungs
saclike organs that extract wastes from the blood and then add them to feces, or digestive wastes, that move through the gut
Malphighian tubules
when they outgrow their exoskeletons, arthropods undergo periods of -
molting
when an arthropod sheds its entire exoskeleton and manufactures a larger one to take its place
molting
