Lab 5 - Arthropoda Flashcards
Arthropods have what kind of coelom
Eucoeleom, greatly reduced
What does Arhtropoda mean
Jointed Foot
What are the parts of the arthropod leg (from medial to distal)
Coxa, Trochanter, Femur, Tibia, Metatarsus, Tarsus
How many legs per segment?
Two (one pair per segment)
Types of modifications in Arthropoda
Mouthparts, locomotion, reproduction, food capture, and sensory
Serial Homology
Sequential differences from the same original structure (e.g. 17 different appendages in Crayfish)
What is the exoskeleton made of?
Chitin (N-Acetyl glucosamine)
Tagmata
Fusion of metameres for a specific function
Types of tagmata
Head, Thorax, Abdomen, or Cephalothorax and Abdomen
Types of sensory structures
Chemoreceptors, Mechanoreceptors, Photoreceptors
Types of “eyes”
Simple eyes - ocelli, used for light and movement
Compound eyes - many ocellium, panoramic vision
Clades within Arthropoda (broad)
Mandibulata (has mandibles), pancrustatia (all head appendages used for feeding, tripartite brain)
Mandibulata is….
Crustacea, Hexapoda, Myriapoda
Pancrustatia is….
Crustacea, Hexapoda
Five main taxa of Arthropoda
Chelicerata, Hexapoda, Myriapoda, Crustacea, Trilobita (EXTINCT)
Hemocoel
cavity for open circulatory system
Ecdysis
molting
What clade of Prostotomes are they part of?
Ecdyszoa
Chelicerata Synapomorphy
Cheliciere, appendages next to mouth used for killing and capturing prey
Pedipalps
Set of appendages posterior to the mouth used for manipulating food toward mouth
Taxa within Chelcerata
Merostomata (horseshoe crabs), Arachnida (spiders, ticks, mites), Pyncnogonida (sea spiders)
Book gills
Gills within Merostomata, posterior ventral end of horseshoe crab, underneath plates, folds called lamellae, first plate has genital pores
Hemolymph
Blood within arachnida
Mandibulata Synapomorphy
Mandibles
Crustacea synapomorphy
2 pairs of antennae, 2 pairs of maxillae, biramous (branched) appendages
