  1. Arthropods BIOL 1407

  2. Phylum Arthropoda • Cheliceriformes • Horseshoe Crabs • Arachnids: spiders, scorpions, ticks, mites • Myriapoda: millipedes and centipedes • Hexapoda: insects and springtails • Crustacea: crabs, lobsters, barnacles, etc.

  3. Cheliceriformes: Horseshoe Crabs

  14. Characteristics of Arthropods • Ecdysis • Video of Cicada Nymph Molting:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=go4MqVq9HVM • Photo Credit: Macau500, 2004, Wikimedia Commons

  15. Characteristics of Arthropods • Complete Digestive System • Open Circulatory System • Gills or book lungs or tracheal tubes • Centralized nervous system

  16. Metamorphosis • Developmental stage in insects • Young feeding form  adult reproductive form

  17. Incomplete Metamorphosis • Young resemble adults • Smaller with different proportions • Photo Credit for Eurydema oleraceum nymph: James K. Lindsey, 2007, Wikimedia Commons • Photo Credit for Eurydema oleraceum adult: Guido Gerding, 2006, Wikimedia Commons

  18. Complete Metamorphosis • Larval stages do not resemble adults • Pupa stage  transformation • Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTUgUEpqBrA&feature=related • Photo Credit for Monarch Butterfly Pictures: Derek Ramsey, 2006 (adult), 2007 (caterpillar), Wikimedia Commons

  20. Complete Digestive System

  21. Transport • Open Circulatory System • Heart = Pump • Vessels • Hemolymph = Fluid

  22. Gas Exchange • Gills • Book Lungs • Tracheal Tubes • Respiratory Pigments • Hemocyanin (crustaceans and horseshoe crabs) • Photo Credit for Terebellid Polychaete: Matthias Buschmann, 2007, Wikimedia Commons

  23. Cellular Respiration • Food is needed to provide fuel for cellular respiration • Cellular respiration: • ATP • Use O2 • Release CO2 CO2 O2

  24. Surface-Area-to-Volume • As body size ↑, Surface Area increases more slowly than Volume increases • Large bodies have smaller surface-area-to-volume ratio than small bodies

  25. Surface-Area-to-Volume • Exchange occurs across surfaces • Dependent upon surface area • Folding ↑ Surface Area

  26. Surface-Area-to-Volume • Volume determines demand for: • Materials • Energy • Oxygen • Volume generates: • Metabolic Wastes • Carbon Dioxide

  27. Advantage of Folding • Folding of internal structures increases surface area • Exchange rate can meet demands of organism

  28. Arthropod Excretory Systems: Antennal Glands and Malpighian Tubules

  29. Centralized Nervous System
