Drill What do centipedes, horseshoe crabs, and scorpions have in common?
Answer:Arthropods By: Justin Lloyd Brad DeBoy Alec Hawkins Tyler Koslofsky
Unit Vocabulary • Appendage- Any complex part or organ extended from the body. • Arthropod- Segmented animal with jointed appendages and a exoskeleton • Chelicerates- Includes spiders, scorpions , mites, ticks, sea spiders, and horseshoe crabs. • Chitin- clitellum of each worm secretes a tube made of mucus and tough carbohydrates
Cont.. Vocab • Crustaceans- An Arthropod with mandibles and branches appendages. • Exoskeleton- The hard, external cover of some invertebrates that provides protection and support. • Molting- The process of shedding an exoskeleton or any other outer layer of an animal. • Spiracles- An external opening of a trachea in an insect myriapod spider. • Uniramians- Centipedes, millipedes, and insect.
General Characteristics of Arthropods • 1. A hard outer body covering called an exoskeleton • 2. Specialized mouth parts • 3. Jointed legs • 4. Compound eyes • 5. Segmented body parts
Body Plan • Arthropods have segmented bodies • Body sections bear jointed extensions called appendages (ex: legs+ antennae) • Have an exoskeleton that provides protection and support
Body Plan cont… • Made up of 3 sections secreted by the epidermis • 1st layer is waxy and composed of a mixture of protein and lipids • 2nd layer is comprised of protein and chitin and provides primary protection • 3rd layer contains proteins and chitin • Is flexible at the joints to allow movement
Body Plan cont.. • Has a high level of cephalization meaning that it has many sensory organs and appendages in one region • Have segmented antennae and compound eyes that have individual light receptors • Sensory organs send nerve impulses to the brain that coordinates movement • Have open circulatory systems
Molting • Arthropods molt their exoskeleton to allow for growth.
Crustaceans • Crustaceans have an exoskeleton, two parted limbs, and nauplius larvae (their eggs). • Examples: Crabs, Lobsters, Shrimp
Chelicerata • They have segmented bodies with jointed limbs. • They have open circulatory system. • They used to be predators, but are now mostly involved in mutualism, and scavenging. • Examples: Horseshoe Crabs, scorpions, spiders, mites, harvestmen (Daddy Long Legs), ticks.
Uniramians • They have exoskeletons, and jointed appendages. • Legs are only one branchthey are interterrestrial. • They have antennae. • Examples: Insects, centipedes, millipedes, and beetles.
