Arthropods are characterized by segmented bodies, an exoskeleton made from chitin, and joint appendages. They have an internal body cavity (hemocoel) and an open circulatory system which employs hemolymph, a fluid that does not distinguish between interstitial fluid like lymph and oxygen carrying fluid like blood as in most vertebrates. They use a copper-based oxygen carrier molecule instead of the iron-based hemoglobin, which floats freely around in the hemolymph and is not bound to blood cell proteins. They do not have a dedicated and separate branch of their circulatory system just to oxygenate; internal organs (and cells) are simply bathed in this fluid; many arthropods (e.g., insects) oxygenate directly from the air through tubules connected to holes (spiracles) in their body segments. Their nervous system is 'ladder-like' on their ventral surface, and their brains formed around the esophagus from fused segment nerve ganglia.
The trochophores, a larval form within the trochozoan clade, are categorized in the lophotrochozoa superphylum. This contains eight phyla including mollusca and annelida, but not arthropoda.
Yes, a spider belongs to Phylum Arthropoda.
Class: Crustacea Phylum: Arthropoda
No, arthropoda comes from the Greek meaning joint legs or feet, hence the characterization of the phylum as having joint-appendages.
Yes. Most phyla evidence bilateral symmetry including flatworms, earthworms, many molluscs, and chordates including fish and mammals. Arthropoda, including insects, are bilaterally symmetric.
Generally a combination of these features: tough exoskeletion made of chitin, jointed appendages and segmented bodies. There is no single feature as any of these features are not exclusive to Arthropoda e.g. Annelida also have segmented bodies.
Lobsters are belong to the Phylum of Arthropoda.
Arthropods (phylum arthropoda) are characterized by segmented bodies, an exoskeleton made from chitin, and joint appendages.
