- cuticle(moulting)
- a lot of segments
- 3 parts
Ecdysis
Cuticle made of chitin is shed and new one is produced
Anthropods segmentation
- Head
- joined mouthparts for ingestion of food - mandibles, maxillae, labrum, labium + well developed sense organs = eyes, antennae
2.Thorax
- jointed legs/limbs for feeding and locomotion - Abdomen
Arthropods nervous system
Ladder-like
- 2 large ganglia, eyes, sensitive cilia
Arthropods circulatory system
Open
Main function: transport nutrients, remove wastes
