1
Phylum: Arthropoda Insects, lobster, shrimp, millipedes, centipedes, spiders, ticks
2
Arthropods: Characteristics Exoskeleton—made of chitin, periodically shed Jointed appendages Malpighian tubules for excretion Open circulatory system Most have 3 body segments (head, thorax, and abdomen)
3
Five Classes Insecta (pg 726) Simple eyes—see light and dark Compound eyes—see many images
4
Undergo metamorphosis Complete Egg, larva (caterpillar), pupa (cocoon), adult…butterfly Incomplete Egg, nymph (immature adult), adult
5
Reproduce in huge numbers Have spiracles—breathing tubes (like straws) in the abdomen Pg. 557
6
2. Crustacean (Page720) Lobster, shrimp Lose exoskeleton as they grow 2 segments..head/thorax = cephalothorax which is covered by a hard cover called a Carapace
7
Green glands---excrete waste from below the eyes. Movable eye stalks Teeth are in the stomach Swimmerets under abdomen..mama carries eggs Tail -- telson and uropods..used for rapid backward movement
8
Front claws—chelipeds 10 pairs of gills Antennae and antenule—sense structures Open circulatory system Swim backwards
9
3. Diplopoda Millipedes Two pairs of walking legs per segment, move slow herbivores
10
4. Chilopoda Centipedes One pair of legs per segment Carnivores, pair of fanglike claws
11
5. Arachnida (Page 722) Spiders, scorpions, ticks, and mites 2 segments, head and thorax fused (cephalothorax) and abdomen Chelicerae—pair of appendages modified into either pinchers or fangs
12
8 legs Breathe using book lungs (folds of tissue) Pedipalps—pair of appendages used to hold food Spinnerets—paired structures, release silk for web building
