Function and Location of the Antennules head; touch and taste sense
Function and Location of the Mandibles Head; jaws for chewing food
Function and Location of the Uropods Abdomen; connects with telson for rapid backwards movement
Function and Location of the Walking Legs Thorax; used for walking/movement and helps move water over to the gills
Function and System of the Esophagus Digestive; carries food to the stomach
Function and System of the Gills Respiratory; uses diffusion for respiration
Function and System of the Intestine Digestive; Digestion and absorption of waste/food
Function and System of the Flexor Muscles Muscular; muscles that help the abdomen bend
Function and System of the Ventral Nerve Cord Nervous; controls the appendages+muscles
Function and System of the Green Glands Excretory; eliminates excess water
Function and System of the Stomach Digestive; grinds food and nutrients are absorbed
Function and System of the Heart Circulatory; Pumps hemolymph throughout the vessels
Function and System of the Gonads Reproductive; Ovaries- produces eggs, Testes- produces sperm
Function and System of the Ganglia Nervous; receives nerve impulses from the eyes, antenna, and antennules
Function and System of the Extensor Muscles Muscular; muscles that help the abdomen straighten
Function and System of the Digestive Glands Digestive; secretes enzymes for digestion
How do you tell the sex of a crayfish Female= first pair of swimmerets are thin and wispy Male= first pair of swimmerets are thicker

What is Chitin Chitin is the fiber/polysaccharide that makes up the exoskeleton
What is Cephalization the concentration of sensory/surroundings
Molting Molting is the shedding of the exoskeleton
Brown Recluse vs Black Widow The brown recluse has a violin shape marking on the cepholothroax, Black widow has red hourglass shape on ventral side of abdomen
What is metamorphosis eggs evolving into larvae/maggots, and then into adults

Function of the Eustachian Tube Openings How the tympanic membrane connects to the mouth
Function of the Nictating Membrane Membrane on lower eyelid
Function of the External and Internal Nares air flow with lungs
Function of the Oviducts carries eggs from ovaries to colaca
Function of the Mesentery Holds the internal organs(small intestine) in place
Function of the Gallbladder Stores bile
Function of the Pericardium protective sac around the heart
Function of the Spleen filters blood, part of lymphatic system
Function of the pancreas produces insulin and secretes it to the small intestine

Function of the Peritoneum membrane that lines internal body cavity
Function of the Liver produces bile
Function of the Heart Atrium's receive blood, ventricle pumps blood
Function of the Ureter carries urine from the kidneys to the urinary bladder
Function of the Coelomic Cavity internal body cavity of chest and abdomen that contains internal organs
How do you tell the sex of a frog? Males have an enlarged nuptial pads. Females will have ovaries, males will have testes.
What are some general traits of Amphibians? Metamorphosis, moist think skin with no scales, webbed feet with no claws, respiration can be pulmonary or cutaneous, and external fertilization
What is the difference between Pulmonary vs. Cutaneous respiration? Pulmonary respiration is respiration where the lungs are used. Cutaneous respiration is respiration through the skin/gills
