CH 33. INVERTEBRATES pt 2 Flashcards
(19 cards)
athropoda characteristics
proteostomes
coelomates
well developed sensory organs on anterior surface (eyes, ear, olfactory antenna)
open circulatory system (mixes hemolymph)
specialized gas exchange organs
what are the specialized gas exchange organs of arthropods?
- aquatic: gills with thin, feathery extensions, high surface area with water
- terrestrial: internal surfaces like tracheal systems (branched air ducts that lead to interior pores in the exoskeleton)
- spiracles in insects
arthropod lineage (3)
insects and crustaceans
chelicerates
myriapods
insects and crustaceans
pacrusteceans, crabs, lobsters, shrimp, barnacles
chelicerates
claw-like feeding appendages called chelicerae (sea spiders, horseshoe crabs, arachnids)
myriapods
jaw-like mandible (centipede, millipede, all terrestrial)
millipede
2 pairs of legs/segment. herbivores and detrivores.
centipedes
one pair of legs/segment. carnivore
insects are more species rich than other organisms due to
- high reproductive capacity
- social behaviors and systems
- highly motile (run, hop, fly)
major adaptations of insects
- flight (requires a highly developed nervous system. escape predators, find food and mates, dispersal)
- sexual reproduction (use bright colors, sounds, or odors [pheromones]. reproductive isolation mechanisms)
- body plan (complex organ systems, specialized mouthparts)
types of insect metamorphosis
incomplete: nymphs resemble adults but smaller, goes through series of molts until adult size
complete: larval stage for eating and growing, adult specialized for dispersal and reproduction
The pupal stage is during metamorphosis
deuterostomia
echinoderms and chordates with anus forming from blastopore and mouth forming at opposite side (bilateral, triploblastic, coelomates)
echinodermata
slow moving or sessile animals
5 spokes coming from center, but bilateral larvae
thin epidermis covering exoskeleton of hard-calcium
water vascular system
external sexual reproduction
water vascular system
network of hydraulic canals that run up and down each arm branching into tube feet
tube feet
bulbs that take in water and pump it back out. used for movement, capturing prey, and gas exchange. many are prickly from bumps and spines and have gills
chordata subphyla
vertebrates and invertebrates
chordates have evolved for over
500 million years
chordates are
bilateral, coelomates, and deuterostomes
