  1. Arthropods Molly, Isaiah, Holly, Sean

  2. Body Symmetry • Bilateral http://biologytricks.blogspot.com/2012/05/animal-kingdom.html

  3. Locomotion • Segmented legs • Some have wings • Are adapted to live in almost any habitat • Aquatic, terrestrial, air • Smooth muscles

  4. Nervous System • Dorsal brain and ventral nervous cord • Chains of ganglia serve various parts of body • The brain is made of 3 parts

  5. Digestive System • One way • Have digestive glands • Special because not present in many organisms

  6. Excretory System • Present • Malphigian tubules • Projections of the digestive tract • Help conserve water

  7. Circulatory System • Dorsal vessel • Open system • Alary muscles on each side of chamber • Peristaltic contractions move hemolymph http://www.cals.ncsu.edu/course/ent425/tutorial/circulatory.html

  8. Respiratory System • Spiracles in exoskeleton • Flap like valves • Tracheal trunk and tubes • Tracheole acts as a filter http://www.cals.ncsu.edu/course/ent425/tutorial/respire.html http://www.cals.ncsu.edu/course/ent425/tutorial/respire.html

  9. Skeletal System • Exoskeleton • Provides a lot of space for movement (joints, anchor for muscles and appendages) • Provides protection • Composed of chitin • Other species exoskeletons are composed of lipids, proteins, and calcium carbonate

  10. Skeletal System (Con’t) • Allows for very little growth • Forces organism to molt (shed) • After exoskeleton molts the organism is exposed and vulnerable until new shell hardens • After molt the organism often hides for protection • metabolism slows down during hiding

  11. Reproductive system • Separate sexes (male and female) • Gonads connected directly to ducts located on the ventral surface of the trunk • Sperm is transferred to female within seal packets called spermatophores

  12. Reproductive Sys.(Con’t) • Spermatophores • Little containers of sperm • Not diluted in aquatic areas • Sometimes deposited directly in the female • Some insect or arachnids deposit on ground and leave a chemical signal to attract the female

  13. Class: Crustaceans • Crabs, lobsters, shrimp, wood lice • Generally aquatic • 5 pairs of legs • Crush prey with claws

  14. Class: Centipedes • One pair of legs per segment • Nickname: “hundred-leggers” • Poisonous • Hunters • Vomit on their prey to liquefy them

  15. Class: Millipedes • 2 pairs of legs per segment • Nickname: “thousand-leggers” • Scavenge for decaying plant material, leaves, etc • Detrivores • Non-poisonous

  16. Class: Arachnids • Spiders, scorpions, mites • 2 body segments • 8 legs • Carnivorous • Feed on predigested bodies of insects and other small animals • Drink the blood and insides

  17. Class: Insects • Examples: Flies, bees, ants • Three body segments • Head • Thorax • Abdomen • Six legs

  18. Phun Phylum Phacts • Compound eyes • Tough exoskeleton made of chitin • Called “joint-legged” because they have segmented legs • 84% of animals are arthropods
