PHYLUM ARTHROPODA Flashcards
(233 cards)
3 main characteristics of arthropoda
Segmented bodies
Jointed appendages
Have exoskeletons
are coelomate, bilaterally symmetrical, triploblastic,
protostomes
arthropoda
- Well develop organ system
arthropoda
- Share with annelids the character of conspicuous segmentation (different ancestor)
arthropoda
Have a well-developed
protective coloration and
protective resemblances
arthropoda
arthropods have vMore pronounced
cephalization
- Well develop organ system
- Share with annelids the character of conspicuous
segmentation (different ancestor)
ARTHROPODA
*Contains exoskeleton - chitins
ARTHROPODA
ARTHROPODA exoskeleton contains
chitin
- segmented body, both internally and externall
ARTHROPODA
- true body segments primitively bear a pair of jointed
appendages
ARTHROPODA
an annelid-like nervous system:
dorsal brain, circumenteric
connectives, paired ventral nerve cords (often fused to
some extent)
growth by molting (ecdysis)
ARTHROPODA
*most are dioecious
ARTHROPODA
growth by molting
ecdysis
they have a well-developed
protective coloration and
protective resemblances
ARTHROPODA
have More pronounced cephalization
ARTHROPODA
Segments more specialized (compared with annelids)
ARTHROPODA
arthropoda have segments that are more specialized (compared with —–)
annelids
(tendency for segments to combine or
fuse into functional groups)
tagmata
muscle (striated muscle confer rapidity of
movement)
extrinsic limb muscle
locomotion of arthropoda
extrinsic limb muscle
Cuticular exoskeleton – contains
chitin
enables them to have wide
range of adaptation
