Term
ecdysozoa
Definition
this phylum sheds its outer layers (molts) and includes nematodes and arthropods. species rich
Term
cuticle
Definition
external coat that is shed 
Term
ecdysis
Definition
another name for molting
Term
nematoda
Definition
roundworm belongs to ______
Term
nematodes
Definition
these roundworms are found in water, soil, tissues and they decompose organic shit. also this group are parasites
Term
T. spiralis
Definition
this parasite causes trichinosis from eating raw pork. the eggs bore in intestine and travel via white blood cells.
Term
C. elegans
Definition
nematode used in aging research
Term

non-segmented, cylindrical

covered by cuticle-sheds

no real circulatory system

Definition
what is the structure of nematodes?
Term

sexually- internal fertilization

separate sexes(female bigger)

Definition
how do nematodes reproduce?
Term
trilobites
Definition
early arthropods that had little variation in segments
Term
lobopods
Definition
now extinct, but is what was thought arthropods evolved from.
Term
arthropods
Definition
this group of organisms is known by its "jointed appendages"
Term
arthropods
Definition
most insects are_____
Term
early arthropod (lobopod)
Definition
Hallucigenia belongs to what phyla?
Term
hox genes
Definition
2 sets of ______ influenced segmentation in arthropods
Term
cuticle
Definition
this covering of arthropods is thick in some places but thin to allow flexibility over joints
Term
molting (ecdysis)
Definition
this energetically expensive process leaves an arthropod vulnerable to danger briefly.
Term
chitin
Definition
exoskeleton of arthropods is made of______
Term
exoskeleton
Definition
this structure protects and provides for attachment of muscles in arthropods
Term
exoskeleton
Definition
originally being aquatic this adaptation allowed for colonization of land
Term
eyes, olfactory system and antennae concentrated at the anterior end
Definition
the sensory organs of arthropods are well developed and include:
Term
open
Definition
hemolymph is used in________ circulatory systems
Term
hemolymph is propelled by heart to short arteries then to sinuses (spaces around tissues and organs). hemolymph then returns to heart through pores with valves
Definition
describe the circulatory system of arthropods
Term

hemocoel

 

not part of coelom (under-developed)

Definition
main body cavity of arthropods. the sinuses are filled with hemolymph
Term

  1. gills
  2. specialized organs in exoskeleton
  3. terrestrials have internal surfaces
  4. insects have tracheal systems

Definition
4 ways arthropods exchange gas
Term
cheliceriforms
Definition
this group has claw-like feeding appendages. 
Term
cheliceriforms
Definition
sea spiders, horseshoe crabs, scorpions, ticks, mites, and spiders all belong to ________
Term
chelicerae
Definition
claw-like feeding appendages- fangs/pinchers
Term
euryptids (part of cheliceriforms)
Definition
water scorpions (now extinct) belonged to this category as well as sea spiders and horseshoe crabs
Term
arachnids
Definition
modern scorpions spiders ticks and mites, of the cheliceriforms, that have a cephalothorax with 6 appendages belongs to this sub group.
Term
pedipalps
Definition
pair of appendages- sensing, feeding, and reproducing
Term
book lungs
Definition
in spiders these stacked plate-like structures have a large surface area for more gas exchange
Term
silk
Definition
liquid protein produced in abs of spiders
Term

  1. drop line for quick escape
  2. cover eggs
  3. "gift wrap" prey for potential mates
  4. "ballooning" for flying

Definition
4 adaptations of silk
Term
spiders
Definition
this cheliceriform uses fanges with poison glands.
Term
attacks and secretes digestive juice into prey and sucks up meal
Definition
how do spiders attack prey
Term
myriapods
Definition
this subgroup includes centipedes and millipedes. the head has antennae and 3 mouth parts
Term

large # of legs

each trunk segment has 2 paris of legs

eat decaying leaves- plant matter

earliest animals

Definition
describe basic features of millipedes
Term
centipede
Definition
this organism is a carnivore with one pari of leg per each segment on body. they also have poison clawsto paralyze prey
Term
hexapods
Definition
insects and wingless 6 legged relatives are referred to as_______
Term
wings
Definition
these structures are extensions of the cuticle (not appendages) from the dorsal side of the thorax.
Term
larva
Definition
a nymph is another name for ______ that resemble adults
Term
incomplete metamorphosis
Definition
in this prcocess of development the larva resembles the adult and slowly develops, looking more and more like the adult form
Term
complete metamorphosis
Definition
in this development process the organism a larval stage then another stage (maggot/grub) that look completely different before coming an adult
Term
larva to adult
Definition
the pupil stage is from______ to ______
Term
once
Definition
how many times to insects mate?
Term

sexually, internal fertilization

 

sperm is deposited or packaged and female picks it up

Definition
how do insects reproduce
Term
spermathea
Definition
what structure stores sperm in female insects?
Term

  1. cheliceriform(arachnids)
  2. myriapods (milli/centipede)
  3. hexapods (insects)
  4. crustaceans

Definition
what are the 4 subphyla of arthropods?
Term
crustacean
Definition
in this subphyla of arthropods, lost appendages can be regenerated
Term
lobster (crustacean)
Definition
this organism can have a toolkit of 19 appendages
Term
crustaceans
Definition
this subphyla of arthropods has appendages on the abs
Term
gills
Definition
how do larger crustaceans exchange gas?
Term
cuticle
Definition
smaller crustaceans exchange gas across thin areas of the_______
Term
nitrogen
