Universal Load Carrier (HULC) is an exoskeleton being developed by Lockheed Martin for dismounted soldiers. The hydraulically-powered HULC enables soldiers to carry heavy loads with minimal strain on their body. The system is expected to reduce musculoskeletal injuries that occur in soldiers due to lifting of loads. The HULC enables soldiers to carry loads up to 200lb (91kg). The weight of the load gets transferred to the ground through the shoes of the exoskeleton. This ensures the weight doesn’t

This exoskeleton provides protection and allows movement‚ but limits growth. As a result‚ the crayfish regularly gets too big for its skeleton‚ sheds it‚ and grows a new larger one. This is called molting and it can happen six to ten times during the first year of rapid growth. For a few days following each molt‚ crayfish have soft exoskeletons and are more vulnerable to predators. Crayfish often conceal themselves under

CHAPTER 4 ANIMAL KINGDOM Animal Kingdom is characterized by multicellular‚ eukaryotic organisms. The cells lack cell walls. They ingest and digest food (holozoic)‚ hence they are heterotrophic. Higher forms show elaborate sensory and neuromotor systems. Majority of them are motile. Reproduction is mostly sexual and embryological development is present in them. About 1.2 million species of animals are described till now. The classification helps to assign a systematic position to newly described

two mm long and about 0.9 mm wide. They remain an egg for four to nineteen days before hatching. After hatching‚ they enter the larvae stage. During this stage‚ the mealworms spend all their time eating and growing/shedding their exoskeletons. They can shed their exoskeletons anywhere between nine and twenty times. They do this because their old skin becomes too small for them as they grow. The larval stage usually lasts three to five months. Then they enter the pupa stage where they will be ½ – ¾ in

its blue stripes. It prefers to live in the shell of the black turban snail. The length of the blue band hermit crab is 40 mm (1.6 in) and a carapace width of up to 19 mm (0.75 in). The carapace is the upper exoskeleton or shell of arthropods such as crustaceans. The color of the exoskeleton is brown or green‚ but the antennae are red‚ and adults have bright blue bands near the tips of their legs. In smaller individuals‚ the bands may be white. The legs and carapace are covered in setae‚ and the

The crab of Phylum Anthropoda is much more advanced and complex than the sponges of Phylum Porifera. One of the main differences that makes crabs more advanced is the fact that crabs have a body cavity which allows them to have different organ systems‚ this is called coelmate. A sponge does not posess a body cavity‚ which is called acolemate‚ but they do posess a Gastrovascular cavity. A Gastrovascular cavity has only one opening‚ the mouth/anus. Being a coelomate is more advanced because it allows

Earth. This success‚ zoologists believe‚ is attributed from certain biological traits such as their small size or ability to fly for some (Postlethwait & Hopson‚ 2010). The exoskeleton of most insects supports them inside but also protects them from outside. John Meyer‚ professor at NCSU‚ explains as a "suit of armor"‚ the exoskeleton can resist both physical and chemical attack (2007). He also covers how their small size allows them to hide‚ flight allows them to escape‚ high fertility and high fecundity
