pseudocoelomates: incomplete coelem
lots of classes we learned nothing abt, like Nematomorpha, Loricifera, Kinorhycha, Priapulida.
Phylum Arthropoda
5 subphyla: Hexapoda, Crustacea, Trilobitomorpha, Chelicerata, Myriapoda
- segmented into head, abdomen, thorax
- tagmata: fused body segments w/ specialized functions
- exoskeleton with tough epicuticle (chitinous)
- uniramous/biramous, chelicerae/mandibles
Subphylum Trilobitomorpha

Class Merostomata
inside Subphylum Chelicerata
horseshoe crabs
Class Arachnida
inside Subphylum Chelicerata
spiders, scorpions, ticks: predatory meat eaters
some immobilize prey, inject digestive enzymes. 8 eyes.
Subphylum Myriapoda
Chilopoda: centipedes
- carnivores, maxillipeds, 2 pairs of maxillae
Diplopoda: millipedes
- deposit feeders, 1 pair maxillae, 2 leg pairs per segment
Subphylum Crustacea
aquatic, two pairs of sensory antennae, five pairs of mouth appendages, biramous appendages, excretory system in head
Class Malacostraca (only crustacean class that matters)
inside Subphylum Crustacea
- fused head and thorax, 8 thoracic segments
- telson (tail), some have chromatophores?
- maxillipeds (food limbs), pereopods (walking), pleopods/uropods (swimmin)
- shrimp, crayfish, isopods, crabs
Class Branchiopoda, Ostracoda
stupid small crustaceans
Classes Copipoda, Pentastomida, Cirripedia
more stupid small crustaceans but even smaller
Subphylum Hexapoda
divided into Entognatha and Ectognatha
Ectognatha contains Insecta
Entognatha
primitive insects with mouthparts retracted within the head

Order Collembola: springtails, live in soil, numerous
Class Insecta (Ectognatha)

hemimetabolous development vs holometabolous development
hemimetabolous: no larval stage, nymphs before adulthood look like mini adults

5 traits of chordates
1. All chordates have a notochord (at some point in dvlopmnt)
2. Dorsal tubular nerve cord (folding of ectoderm)
3. Pharyngeal slits/pouches (first 2 arches become jaws)
4. Postanal tail
5. Endostyle/thyroid gland
Three subphyla of Phylum Chordata
1. Urochordata - the tunicates
2. Cephalochordata - the lancelets
3. Vertebrata - the vertebrates
