Where in the body of a spider is venom produced?
spiders is a very broad topic, but the following holds true for many, including tarantulas. 1st, they inject venom (a serotonin inhibitor) into the circulatory system. then they inject digestive juices. finally they suck out the parts that will liquify -- the soft tissues. it gives a whole new meaning to liquid lunch.

What kind of spider is black and furry with blue eyes?
I believe it is a Jumping Spider (Family Salticidae). I just saw one on my porch and looked it up. I found a good picture on www.whatsthatbug.com/spiders4.html. I think I found an even closer likeness here: http://www.dec.ny.gov/docs/wildlife_pdf/common_spiders.pdf
What kind of appendages do spiders have?
copied answer:What are spider appendages says:Spiders have spinnerets near the rear end of their bodies. They use these spinnerets to spin out their silk. They have eight legs, and each leg is terminated (depending on the species) by either three claws or two claws. Between the front two legs are two more, shorter, appendages called "pedipalps." These appendages are shorter than legs and are used for manipulating things such as their prey, things they want to eliminate from their webs and living areas, and (in males) they are terminated by a kind of biological syringe that they load up with semen and then inject into the sexual organ of the female during mating. Finally, there are the two chelicerae have a basal part that you can see when you look a resting spider directly in the face, and each of them has a fang that has its point held near the mouth of the spider and that folds into the chelicera like the blade of a jackknife folds into its handle.Unlike insects, spiders do not have antennae. They do not have wings. They do not have three body parts either, just the abdomen and the "cephalothorax" (head plus chest) where the legs, pedipalps, chelicerae, eyes, etc. are located.Read more: What_are_spider_appendages
What makes a spider bite?
It is a member of the arachnid family. However, it lacks the tail found in scorpions, it lacks the clawed chelipeds found in psuedoscorpions, it has 2 unfused segments for its body (unlike ticks and mites), and it can dispense silk from "spinnerettes". Unlike insects, arachnids have 4 pairs of walking legs, one pair of chelipeds, 6-8 simple (not compound) eyes, no wings, 2 segments, and chelicerae for mouthparts. Hoped this helped you. :)

How does the trapdoor spider consume its food?
Trapdoor spiders are heavy-bodied and they also have heavy chelicerae, the parts that the fangs are attached to. They don't have teeth stuck in jaws the way we do, but their chelicerae have tooth-like protrusions that help the spider chew up its food. So the spider will first wrap its prey in silk and then start chewing and at the same time will release some digestive fluid. It will end up with a sort of smoothie. Its stomach can act like a syringe to pull things into it. Spines make a filter that keeps all but the non-solid stuff from getting into the spider's stomach. In the end there will be a little bag of solid body debris, which the spider will dump out its front door.
What do chelicerae and pedipalps do?
The prey is captured by the pedipalps and the sting is inserted in it, the paralyzed or killed prey is sucked using the chelicerae.
What is the difference between chelicerae and pedipalps?
