LOCOMOTION II: SEGMENTATION AND BEYOND
2
The next step - worms
3
Annelida - a significant improvement in body architecture SEGMENTATION Dividing the body into smaller repeated units
4
Annelida - a significant improvement in body architecture SEGMENTATION - Why?? 1. Allows more precise movement - reorient and twist part of the body
5
Annelida - a significant improvement in body architecture SEGMENTATION - Why?? 2. Allows muscle contraction without bulging Standard coelomate body plan. mesoderm = muscle If muscle contracts without segments contracting area
6
Annelida - a significant improvement in body architecture SEGMENTATION - Why?? 2. Allows muscle contraction without bulging If muscle contracts without segments If muscle contracts with segments Area of contraction is restricted
7
Annelida - a significant improvement in body architecture SEGMENTATION - Why?? 2. Allows muscle contraction without bulging
8
Longitudinal muscles contract Circular muscles relax Longitudinal muscles relax Circular muscles contract
10
Earthworm movement Centre of contraction Affected segments
11
Polychaete worms Add a new feature – appendages
12
Polychaete worms Parapodia
13
Nereis Two kinds of locomotion 1) Slow crawl Recovery stroke Propulsive stroke Contraction of levator muscles Contraction of transverse parapodial muscles
14
Nereis Two kinds of locomotion 1) Slow crawl 2) Fast crawl
15
ARTHROPODS: HARD AND CRUNCHY

Insect Integument (Exoskeleton) N - acetylglucosamine polymer microfibril sheets of microfibrils orientation of microfibrils changes
19
Insect Integument (Exoskeleton) Protein Matrix
20
Insect Integument (Exoskeleton) Cross linking of protein matrix
21
Insect Integument (Exoskeleton) OH Cross linking of protein matrix OH C CH 2 Protein OH CH 2 O O OH CH 2 Protein N-acetyl dopamineN-acetyl dopamine quinone
22
What other common material has cross-linked fibres in a matrix? Plywood Oriented Strand Board (OSB) Plywood
23
Insect Integument (Exoskeleton) Tensile strength of sclerotized chitin (sclerotin) kg/mm 2
24
Insect Leg - Articulation monocondylic Decreasing mobility Increasing strength dicondylic leg
