Arthropoda is the ______ and ______ of all the animal phylum
abundant and diverse
arthropod cuticle
versatile exoskeleton with multiple layers secreted by epidermal cells
protects body without sacrificing mobility
thin at joints
epidermal cells
epicuticle- proteins and lipids
procuticle- polysaccharide chiton and proteins

sclerotization

in crustaceans the cuticle is further hardened by
CaCO3
Muscle attachments ____the exoskeleton
inside

Segmented body & jointed appendages allow for
more
efficient locomotion
Each segment typically has a
pair of appendages
Segments & appendages
adapted to various tasks
Segmentation and Appendages
Phylum Arthropoda
such as
sensing, feeding,
walking, swimming, flying,
copulating,
Segments may be fused or
combined into functional groups
called
tagmata
uropod and telson

chela and cheliped

Polychaetes have some tagmatization (the
head region), but most arthropod groups have
more
Arthropod classes are defined largely by patterns of
tagmatization and the number and arrangement of limbs
In most groups, appendages on the head have been modified
into
antennae and various feeding devices
Appendages may be
uniramous
or biramous

Tracheal System

Network of finely branched
air tubes
delivers oxygen directly to cells
Tracheae open via
spiracles
Nervous system

• Simple eyes (ocelli), compound eyes often present

Many arthropods undergo
metamorphosis

tracheae or book lungs or both
Silk from
silk glands spun into threads by spinnerets
Araneae reproduction
Male pedipalp holds a silk-wrapped sperm package
• Inserted into female genital opening after courtship ritual
female lay eggs in silk bag
scorpion order
Scorpionida
Scorpionida Opisthosoma
