What Is an Arthropod?
Arthropods are surrounded by a tough external covering, or exoskeleton.
The exoskeleton is made from protein and chitin. Chitin is a carbohydrate.

Form and Function in Arthropods
• Arthropods use complex organ systems to carry out different essential functions.
• Organ systems are interrelated; the functioning of one system depends on that of other systems.

Feeding
• Arthropods include herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores. There are filter feeders, detritivores, and parasites.
• The mouthparts of arthropods are adapted to the type of food the arthropod eats.

Response
• Most arthropods have a well-developed nervous system.
• All arthropods have a brain.
• Two nerves connect the brain to a ventral nerve cord. Along this nerve cord are several groups of nerve cells called ganglia.These ganglia coordinate the movements of individual legs.

Form and Function in Arthropods
Most arthropods have sophisticated sense organs such as compound eyes.
Compound eyes may have more than 2000 separate lenses and can detect color and motion very well.

Movement
• Arthropods move using well-developed groups of muscles that are coordinated and controlled by the nervous system.
• Muscles generate force by contracting and then pulling on the exoskeleton.

Reproduction
• In some species, males deposit sperm inside females.
• In other species, the males deposit a sperm packet that is picked up by the females.
• Aquatic arthropods may have internal or external fertilization.

28–2 Groups of Arthropods
Arthropods are classified based on the number and structure of their body segments and appendages—particularly their mouthparts.
The three major groups of arthropods are:
• crustaceans
• spiders and their relatives
• insects and their relatives

The crayfish has a body plan that is typical of many crustaceans.
The anterior cephalothorax is formed by fusion of the head with the thorax.

Decapods have five pairs of legs.
In crayfishes, the first pair of legs, called chelipeds, have large claws that catch, pick up, crush, and cut food.

Spiders and Their Relatives
Chelicerates are divided into three main classes.
• Merostomata includes horseshoe crabs.
• Pycnogonida includes sea spiders.
• Arachnida, or arachnids, includes spiders, mites, ticks, and scorpions.
Horseshoe crabs and sea spiders are both marine organisms.

Horseshoe Crabs
Horseshoe crabs are found in shallow water on soft sandy or muddy bottoms. There has been a decline in number of individuals, as a consequence of coastal habitat destruction and pollution.
They have chelicerae, five pairs of walking legs, and a long spikelike tail that is used for movement. While they can swim upside down, they usually are found on the ocean floor searching for worms and molluscs, which are their main food. They may also feed on crustaceans and even small fish.

Sea Spiders
Sea spiders have long legs in contrast to a small body size.
The number of walking legs is usually eight (four pairs), but species with five and six pairs exist.
Because of their small size and slender body and legs, no respiratory system is necessary, with gases moving by diffusion.
A proboscis allows them to suck nutrients from soft-bodied invertebrates, and their digestive tract has diverticula extending into the legs.
