Coleoptera
Which clade are true flies in?
Diptera
Which clade are butterflies in?

What three shared characteristics do Arthropoda have?
- Segmented bodies
- jointed appendages
- exoskeleton
What is the exoskeleton made of and what secretes it?
Chitin and proteins, it’s secreted by the epidermis
What are benefits of the exoskeleton?
- Support for body
- Anchor for muscle attachment
- Protection
- Prevents water loss
What are limitations of the exoskeleton?
Limits body size
What type of muscle do Arthropoda have?
Striated
What type of circulatory system do Arthropoda have?
Open
What is the hemocoel?
Main body cavity consisting of blood filled sinuses in the tissue
Describe the arthopodic true coelom
Role reduced, major body cavity, derived from embryonic blastopore
What is hemolymph?
Fluid in hemocoel that functions as blood and lymph, usually contains hemoglobin as oxygen carrying molecule but sometimes uses hemacyanin (copper metalloprotein)
How many pairs of antennae do crustaceans have?
2
How many pairs of antennae do insects have?
1
Horshoe crab: carapace
Part of exoskeleton that protects and covers the cephalothorax
HS crab: abdomen
The posterior section of the body in arthopodic
HS crab: cephalothorax
Fused portion of the body consisting of the head and thorax regions
HS crab: gill opercula
Protects book gills
HS crab: book gills
Respiratory strucutures found in aquatic chelicerates that consist of thin overlapping , blood filled flaps of tissue that exchange gas with sea water flowing over them
HS crabs: Simple eyes
(8) photoreceptors; smaller than the compound eyes
HS crab: Compound eyes
(2) Photoreception, large and composed of about 1000 ommitidia
HS crab: telson
Aids in anchoring, stiff “tail”
