Arthropods Flashcards
Blue Packet Exam 3
Arthropods
A diverse group of animals including insects, crustaceans, spiders, scorpions and centipedes.
Tagmosis
Metamerically segmented animals.
Appendages
Jointed
Exoskeleton
(cuticle) made of chitin. Molts and Instar.
Instar
Phase between two periods of molting in the development of an insect larva or other invertebrate animal.
Digestive System
Tube with Organs
Eyes
Compound and simple
Nervous System
Paired ventral nerve cords with ganglia.
Circulatory System
Open-limiting size. Dorsal heart with hemocoel.
Hemocoel
The primary body cavity of most invertebrates, containing circulatory fluid.
Oxygen Exchange
Gills (associated with walking legs), tracheae (tubules connected to muscles), book lungs (pages-spider).
Wings
Extension of the exoskeleton.
Waste Removal
Malphigian tubules extend from hemocoel to intestine absorb and excrete.
Green Gland
Gets rid of nitrogenous waste in crustaceans.
Chelicerata
Scorpion, spider horseshoe crab, sea spider
Crusyscea
Crustaceans
Myriopoda
Centipedes and millipedes
Hexapoda
Insects
Biramous vs Uniramous
Branched or straight segmented
Sand Vein
Contains Food in Crustaceans
Barnacles are most related to
Crustaceans (crabs)
Cheliped
Pincer and Crusher on a crustacean
Coleoptera
Beetles, Weevils.
Hymenoptera
Ants, bees, wasps
Hemiptera
True Bugs
Orthoptera
Crickets, grasshoppers
Odonata
Dragonflies, damselflies
Ephemeroptera
Mayflies
Diptera
Flies, mosquitoes
Lepidoptera
Butterflies, moths
Hemimetabolous
(of an insect) having no pupal stage in the transition from larva to adult. Egg–>nymphs–>adult
Holometabolous
Egg–>larvae–>pupation–>adult
Chilopoda
Centipedes- nasty bite. Uniramous appendages.
Diplopoda
Millipedes-Biramous roll up, smelly
Protostome
multicellular organism whose mouth develops from a primary embryonic opening. Spiral cleavage.
Deuterostome
The fist opening is the anus then the mouth radial cleavage.
Spiralian
Protostomes who’s body size simply increases
Ecdysozoans
Protosomes who’s body grows by molting.
Ctenophora
Comb Jellies that are small, translucent and have eight rows of comblike plates fused with cilia that scatters light and can look a rainbow! They have sticky tentacles that spring colloblasts.
Colloblasts
Ctenophora use them as an adhesive thread.
