    Arthropoda (Arthropods)

    - are joint-legged animals.


    They make up the largest
    group in the animal kingdom.
    Their bodies and legs are
    made up of sections. They
    have an outside shell called
    the exoskeleton.
    CHARACTERISTICS OF ARTHROPODS

    1. SEGMENTATION-
    they have three main
    body regions;
    HEAD,
    THORAX
    ABDOMEN.

    2. EXOSKELETON
    Arthropods have
    hard exoskeleton
    outside their body.

    3. JOINTED
    APPENDAGES- these
    are adapted for
    feeding, sensing,
    walking and
    swimming.
    Arthropods are divided into
    four major groups:
    1. insects;
    2. myriapods (including centipedes and
    millipedes);
    3. arachnids (including spiders, mites and
    scorpions);
    4. crustaceans (including slaters, prawn and
    crabs)
    1. CRUSTACEANS

    Crustaceans have five pairs of legs


    for swimming or walking.
    A Crustacean’s body is made up of
    50 segments but most
    crustaceans have only 19.
    A Crustacean’s body has three
    segments – HEAD, THORAX and
    ABDOMEN.
    Crustaceans have
    two pairs of
    antennae. The
    antennae are
    organs that touch,
    taste and smell
    food.
    CRUSTACEANS
    2. Insects are small, six-
    legged animals or have three
    pairs of walking legs, one or
    two pairs of wings and a pair
    of antennae.
    Their legs are adapted for
    crawling, collecting pollen and
    jumping.
    Insects are the largest group
    of invertebrates.
    Insects have
    three main
    body
    sections –
    HEAD,
    THORAX
    and
    ABDOMEN

    3. Arachnids have four pairs
    of walking legs.
    Some have spinnerets which
    they use to spin threads into
    webs.
    Arachnids
    have two
    body
    segments
    and have no
    antennae.
    4. Myriapods
     are animals with many
    legs.
     many body segments
     live under rocks & dark
    places
     have less than 100 legs
     protects itself by curling up
