Cards

Term
serial homologs
Definition
within a single individual, structures arising from the equivalent embryonic primordia of different segments and sharing a similar pattern of morphogenesis; antennae and legs of a grasshopper
Term
homonomy
Definition
all segments and their appendages are similar or identical in structure, function, and position
Term
heteronomous
Definition
segments and appendages specialized for mnay different functions - result of natural selection
Term
acron
Definition
anterior end of the arthropod; preoral; does not arise from teloblasts
Term
telson
Definition
posterior end of the arthropod; postanal; does not arise from teloblasts
Term
tagmosis
Definition
the tendency to organize segments into regions having similar structure, function, and appendages
Term
tagma
Definition
a group of similar segments
Term
cephalization
Definition
the development of an anterior tagma ( head, cephlon, or cephlothorax) responsible for sensory reception, neural integration, and feeding
Term
articles
Definition
cylinder of hardened exoskeleton that joins, or articulates, with the body or another article
Term
ramus
Definition
appendage branch: one branch = uniramous (arachnids), 2 branches = biramous (crustaceans - endopod, exopod)
Term
sclerites
Definition
separate plate of hardened cuticle; connected by soft, flexible cuticle know as articular membranes - articulation shape determines movement; typically segments are composed of 4 sclerites: 1 dorsal tergite, 2 lateral pleurites, 1 ventral sternite
Term
monocondylic
Definition
joint type with only one point of articulation between two articles; ball-and-socket
Term
dicondylic
Definition
joint type with two points of articulation, restricting movement to a single plane
Term
apodeme
Definition
inner projection continuous with the exoskeleton (Fig. 16-1E)
Term
flexors & extensors
Definition
flexor - decreases the angle between two sclerites
extensor - increases the angle between two sclerites
Term
epicuticle
Definition
thin, complex, water-resistant or water-proof layer of protein, lipoprotin, and sometimes wax, but no chitin
Term
procuticle
Definition
layer composed of protein and chitin bound together to form glycoprotein; much thicker than the epicuticle
Term
setae
Definition
articulated chitinous projection of exoskeleton; secreted by trichogen cells; tormogen cells create the flexible sockets for the setae
Term
ecdysis
Definition
molting
Stages of ecdysis:
intermolt: tissue growth occurs
proecdysis: old cuticle detaches from the animal, but still covers it, new cuticle partially formed
ecdysis: removal of the old cuticle
postecdysis: new cuticle continues to form
Term
hemocoel
Definition
a space in the connective-tissue compartment derived from the embryonic blastocoel with contributions from the mesoderm; filled with blood
Term
ostia
Definition
one-way valves allowing blood to enter the heart from the pericardial sinus
Term
hemocyanin
Definition
copper-based; most common respiratory pigment in arthropods
Term
hemoglobin
Definition
iron-based; present in a few crustaceans and insects
Term
diastole
Definition
the expansion and filling phase of the heart cycle; contraction of alary muscles or suspensory ligament dialate, resulting in negative pressure in the lumen, ostia open and blood flows from the pericardial sinus into the heart
Term
systole
Definition
the contraction and emptying phase of the heart cycle; contraction of the circular muscles of the heart wall pressurizes the blood, forcing it out of the heart lumen through arteries to the hemocoel; this also causes the ostia to close and the alary muscles and suspensory ligaments to stretch (storing energy to accomplish diastole)
Term
saccate nephridia
Definition
Term
Malpighian tubules
Definition
Term
protocerebrum
Definition
Term
deutocerebrum
Definition
Term
tritocrebrum
Definition
Term
mechanoreceptors
Definition
Term

Definition
Term
