Phylum Arthropoda: Introduction
- Phylum Arthropoda is the largest phylum of Kingdom Animalia, accounting for over two-thirds of all named species on Earth.
- The name originates from the Greek words 'arthros' (jointed) and 'podos' (foot), referring to their most distinctive feature: jointed appendages.
- These animals have successfully colonized every possible habitat, from the deepest oceans to the highest mountains, primarily due to their versatile chitinous exoskeleton.
- From a taxonomic perspective, insects represent the vast majority of this group, making Arthropoda the most diverse and successful evolutionary lineage in the animal world.

General features of Arthropoda
- They have organ-system level of organisation with bilaterally symmetrical, triploblastic, segmented and coelomate animals.
- The body of arthropods is covered by chitinous exoskeleton.
- The body consists of head, thorax and abdomen and in some head is joint with thorax called cephalothorax.
- They have jointed appendages.
- Respiratory organs are gills, book gills, book lungs or tracheal system.

- Circulatory system is of open type. Sensory organs like antennae and eyes which can be compound and simple.
- Statocysts or balancing organs are present in aquatic arthropods . Excretion takes place through malpighian tubules.
- They are mostly dioecious. Fertilisation is usually internal. They are mostly oviparous. Development may be direct or indirect.

- Economically important insects are : Apis or Honey bee . Bombyx or Silkworm . Laccifer or Lac insect
- Some Arthropods are vector of diseases. Anopheles, Culex and Aedes are vectors of Malaria , Filaria and Dengue respectively.
💡NEET TIP
📝 Arthropoda have internal fertilization and they are oviparous .
Examples of Arthropoda
Locusta
- Locusta is a Gregarious pest. It become more active and take unusual flight during high temperature.
- It is herbivores with large wing and body colour is yellow or brown.
- It has six jointed legs and Short antennae.

| Locusta |
- It can change body color and shape when it move to gregarious phase.
- It follows various stages in its life cycle when it convert from larval to adult.
- It has well developed nervous system or brain when it attains the gregarious phase.
