Lab 5 (Arthropoda) Flashcards
phyla
arthropoda
arthropoda
largest animal group
- have a jointed foot that is segmented, and used for different things
- has an exoskeleton that molts
- have joined appendages
- compound and simple eyes (can have both)
- open circulatory system
- coelomates
specialized segments
head, thorax and abdomen
- can either have a cephalothorax (head fused to thorax)
- they have a brain with body segmented ganglia connected by a ventral nerve chord
respiratory systems
have gills, book gills (outside), book lungs (internal) and trachae
GI tract regionalization
regionalized into
- foregut: pharynx, esophagus, and crop
- midgut: ceca and midgut
- hindgut: intestine, rectum and anus
GI tract
lined with peritrophic membrane to protect it and localize digestive enzymes
- have nephridia if aquatic or Malpighian tubules if terrestrial
Class Merostomata SUBPHYLA CHELICERATA
horseshoe crabs
- have a carapace covering the dorsal side (underside) of the gills
- have a tail thing that helps them maneuver water currents called a telson
- have a pair of degenerate legs called chilaria
- have book gills
- have pedipalps for prey
class arachnida SUBPHYLA CHELICERATA
scorpions, ticks, mites and spiders
- have four pairs of legs
- spiders have their chelicerae modified into fangs
SUBPHYLA CRUSTACEA
two body regions
- cephalothorax
- abdomen
- box shaped heart that is surrounded by a pericardial sac on dorsal surface
- have a gastric mill and a gland that functions as a liver pancreas
- THEY SWIM BACKWARDS
- barnacles, mantis shrimp, crabs, krill shrimp, crayfish etc.
- have double branched appendages
- compound eyes, two pairs of antennae
analogous
similar functions but different embryologic origins
Homologous
not similar functions from the same body region
SUBPHYLA MYRIAPODA class chilopods
1 pair of legs/ segment
- centipedes are venomous!
SUBPHYLA MYRIAPODA class diplopoda
2 pairs of legs per body segment
SUBPHYLA Hexapoda class insecta
- head with antennae, compound eyes, and simple eyes (ocelli)
- thorax is in three parts (pro, miso, meta- thorax)
- abdomen
SUBPHYLA MYRIAPODA
have complete metamorphosis or can have incomplete where it just grows but looks the same
