and temperature. In most terrestrial vertebrates with significant exposure to sunlight‚ the integumentary system also provides for vitamin D synthesis. Skin is the soft outer covering of vertebrates. Other animal coverings such as the arthropod exoskeleton have different developmental origin‚ structure and chemical composition. The adjective cutaneous means "of the skin" (from Latin cutis‚ skin). In mammals‚ the skin is the largest organ of the integumentary system made up of multiple layers of ectodermal

what they do‚ making them very difficult to defeat. The bodies of these tiny parasites are extremely hardy and well-suited for their job. A flea has a very hard exoskeleton‚ which means the body is covered by a tough‚ tile-like plate called a sclerite. Because of these plates‚ fleas are almost impossible to squish. The exoskeletons of fleas are also waterproof and shock resistant‚ and therefore fleas are highly resistant to the sprays and chemicals used to kill them. Little spines are attached

They generally are dull in colour consisting mostly of earthy shades of grey‚ mottled with greens‚ browns and yellows. The variation amongst colours/patterns of individuals is extensive. The New Zealand variety of slaters range from several millimetres to upwards of 2 cm in length (most common length being between 1-1.5 cm). The exoskeletons of slaters are comprised of calcium carbonate making them quite

32.2.2 Segmentation allowed for redundant systems and improved locomotion Hox genes cause segmentation development 2 advantage of Hox genes Highly segmented animals‚ usually have nearly complete set of organs in theirs each segment of body. This result to less damage in their body‚ since other segment duplicate the damage segment functions Locomotion is more efficient‚ since partitions isolate the segment can contract and expand autonomously. 32.3.

The head and thorax are apart of a segment called cephalothoraxes‚ which is covered by the carapace made of chitin. The exoskeleton covers the outer body of the ventral side of the abdomen called swimmerets that help the crayfish with swimming. The first pair of appendages is called chelipeds they have huge claws that are used to get food and protection. The other four are walking

Evolution of the Regenerative Properties in Crayfish Regeneration is the biological mechanism whereby organisms restore lost or damaged cells. This process can be used to replace organs‚ tissues and limbs on a small to large scale. Each type of regeneration requires different amounts of energy‚ resources and time. Orconectus rusticus (crayfish)‚ compete for food‚ survival and mating. They have large claws that are vitally important in competition and survival. This species has developed the
