64

Echinus esculentus

65
Q

Antennae

A

A pair of mobile appendages on the heads of crustaceans that are often whip-like and respond to touch and taste but may be specialized for swimming or attachment. A typical antenna can be divided into 3 regions; the scape (i.e. its base), the pedicel (i.e. the mid-region) and the flagellum (i.e. its tip).

66
Q

Antennal Scale

A

Blade-like feature at the base (scape) of antennae. Also termed the scaphocerite.

67
Q

Carapace

A

Fused thoracic segments, forming a hard exoskeleton of decapods crustaceans.

68
Q

Chela

A

A pincer-like structure, formed from the terminal segments of crustacean limbs.

69
Q

Crustacean Limb Structure

A

Coxa/coxal plate –> basis –> ischium –> merus –> carpus –> propodus –> dactylus.
Several sections can be modified (particularly the dactylus and propodus in decapods, forming the chela) to form structures that are characteristic to crustaceans, and are thus key in successfully identifying many species of crustacean.

70
Q

Dextral Coil

A

Relating to a shell that coils in an ‘anti-clockwise’ direction (as opposed to a clockwise-coiling sinistral shell).

71
Q

Dorso-Ventrally Flattened

A

An anatomical description of something compressed between dorsal (i.e. back, where relevant, spinal) and ventral (i.e. front). 90° or perpendicular to the lateral axis.

72
Q

Eyestalk

A

A stem-like feature connected to the eye.

73
Q

Flagellum

A

In relation to antennae, this is the terminal section.

74
Q

Geniculate

A

In relation to antennae, this word describes antennae that appear to be bent at approximately 90° in relation to its base (termed its scape).

75
Q

Lateral Compression

A

An anatomical description of something compacted from the sides.

76
Q

Natantia

A

All ‘swimming’ decapods (i.e. ‘10-legged’) crustaceans, including several species of prawns and shrimps.

77
Q

Pereopod

A

Walking legs, used also for gathering food.

78
Q

Pleopods

A

Primarily swimming legs, but are equally important in egg brooding (except in prawns).

79
Q

Pleotelson

A

A fusion between part of the pleon (i.e. the abdomen or hind region of decapods crustaceans) and the telson. Common in isopods.

80
Q

Reptantia

A

All ‘walking’ decapod (i.e. ’10-legged’) crustaceans. 4 infraorders, including lobsters, crayfish, brachyuran crabs (i.e. true crabs, such as the common shore crab and edible brown crab) and anomuran crabs (i.e. porcelain crabs, squat lobsters and hermit crabs).

81
Q

Rostrum

A

Beak-like projection of the anterior part of the head of certain crustaceans.

82
Q

Statocyst

A

A sac-like structure which contains a mineralised mass and numerous sensory setae or fine hairs. This is believed to be involved in the ‘balance’ of many crustacean species, and is a key characteristic feature of certain Mysid shrimps.

83
Q

Telson

A

Along with the uropods, makes up the tail fan of many decapods crustaceans.

84
Q

Thoracic Segments

A

Segments relating to the mid-section of decapods crustaceans, between the head and the abdomen.

85
Q

Uropod

A

Along with the telson, makes up the tail fan of many decapods crustaceans.

86
Q

Biramous

A

Literally ‘two-branched’. In terms of parapods, this refers to their modification into two branches; one dorsal and one ventral).

87
Q

Palps

A

A pair of tactile organs arising from the head or anterior end of certain annelid worms.

88
Q

Parapods

A

Paddle-like structures used for swimming in errant polychaete worms. They occur in pairs on certain segments, with their location and form specific to a single species of worm, thus a key feature in identifying polychaete worms.

89
Q

Prostomium

A

The portion of the head in annelid worms that is situated anterior to the mouth.

90
Q

Tentacles

A

Any of various elongated flexible organs that occur near the mouth in many invertebrates and are used for feeding, grasping etc.

91
Q

Uniramous

A

Literally ‘single branch’.

92
Q

Thallus

A

Used to define the whole organism. Including stipe / fronds etc.

93
Q

Holdfast

A

Anchors algae to the benthos. Has no other root-like role.

94
Q

Stipe

A

Connects the blade to the holdfast. Is usually very strong.

95
Q

Blade

A

Usually found on large brown algae.

96
Q

Bladders

A

Known as pneumatocysts, these are gas filled and keep the thallus upright when immersed.

97
Q

Receptacles

A

Sex organs on large brown algae.
