Arthropoda, echinodermata Flashcards
Arthropoda
Insects, spiders, crustaceans
Arthropoda characteristics
Triploblastic
Coelomate
Protostome
bilateral symmetry
one way digestion
excretion: malpighian tubules, excrete uric acid
open circ system, hemolymph instead of blood
Respiratory system: books gills (aquatic), book lungs (spiders), tracheal tubes (terrestrial)
Arthropoda body characteristics
Jointed legs
chitin exoskeleton
tagmata: specialized segments in their body plan
Cephalothroax: term used to describe fusion of head and thorax tagmata (spiders/ crustaceans)
born nymph or larvae
Arthropoda insects
Larget number of species
six legs
spiracles: opening on their exoskeleton for air
tracheal tubes for respiration
one pair of antennae
arthropoda crustaceans
lobset, crabs, shrimp, crayfish
book gills for respiration
cephalothorax
two pairs of antennae
some use green glans instead of malpighian tubules for excretion
Arthropoda arachnids
Spiders, ticks, scorpions
eight legs
book lungs for gas exchange
cephalothorax
no antennae
Echinodermata
starfish, cucumbers, sea urchins
Echinodermata characteristics
Triploblastic
coelmate
deuterostome (anus forms first)
radial symmetry as adults
bilateral as larvae
complete one way digestion
open circulatory system
Reproduction: asexual- fragmentation, sexual- external fertilization
water vascular system: movement of nutrient and waste
podocyte: cells that filter the bodily fluids in echinoderms
