Arthropod

Arthropods
Non-Insects

Characteristics

  • Makes up 3/4’s of all animal species
  • Includes insects, spiders, scorpions, millipedes, centipedes, crabs, lobsters, & crayfish
  • Arthropod means “jointed foot”
  • Jointed appendages (legs, antenna, mouthparts)
  • Segmented body with paired appendages on each segment)
  • External exoskeleton made of chitin (carbohydrate) & protein for protection & support
  • Exoskeleton has 3 layers — outer waxy layer repels water, middle layer has calcium for extra strength, & inner layer has flexible joints for movement
  • Protostomes (blastopore develops into mouth)
  • Coelomate (mesoderm-lined body cavity)
  • Ventral nervous system
  • Open circulatory system
  • Specialized sensory receptors & high degree of cephalization
  • Have simple or compound eyes & segmented antenna

Movement & Growth

  • Muscles occur in bundles & are attached to inside of exoskeleton on each side of joints
  • Exoskeleton must be periodically molted (shed) for organism to grow
  • Molting called ecdysis
  • Molting hormone released & causes epidermal cells to secrete enzymes that digest & loosen inner exoskeleton
  • New exoskeleton secreted by epidermal cells flexible at first & must harden so arthropod not vulnerable to predators so often stay in hiding after molting
  • Arthropods go through numerous molts


Butterfly Molting Pupal Case

    * Cephalothorax connected by narrow waist to abdomen
    * Have 8 simple eyes or ocelli
    * Fangs pierce prey, inject poison, & suck out body fluids
    * Pedipalps on head help sense prey & move it to the mouth
    * Open circulatory system
    * Ostia are openings in heart where blood reenters
    * Body cavity called hemocoel
    * Hemocycanin is oxygen-carrying pigment in blood
    * Have silk glands to make silk & spinnerets to release silk for webs
    * Breathe by book lungs & tracheal tubes
    * Malpighian tubules filter wastes & reabsorb water
