🗑
molting   the process of shedding an exoskeleton and replacing it with a new one  
🗑
Crustacea   members in this group are shrimp, crabs, and lobsters, and are called the "insects" of the sea  
🗑
copepods   some filter the water for their food, others capture prey, and still others are parasitic., the planktonic species have an enlarged set of antennae that helps them to stay afloat in the water  
🗑
Barnacles   commonly mistaken for mollusks because they have calcium plates surrounding their bodies, but they are true crustaceans  
🗑
amphipods and isopods   are slightly larger than 1 centimeter in length, these generally have laterally compressed bodies while these have ventrally flattened bodies  
🗑
krill   are a little larger than the amphipods and isopods, growing to about 5 centimeters, they are planktonic organisms that resemble shrimp, most filter feeders, eating other plankton  
🗑
head, thorax, and abdomen   arthropods typically have these three body segments  
🗑
cephalothorax   the anterior part of an arthropod body, consisting of a head and other body segments fused together  
🗑
carapace   an armored shield that covers the anterior portion of crustaceans  
🗑
Decapoda   meaning “10 legs,” have five pairs of legs for walking, the first pair is usually larger and has claws for obtaining food and for defense  
🗑
abdomen   the last body part on Decapoda that is incorrectly called the “tail” by seafood lovers  
🗑
shrimp and lobsters   have a long abdomen, and many live on the ocean bottoms where they scavenge for leftover bits of food  
🗑
Hermit crabs   are not really crabs, fit their elongated soft abdomens into abandoned gastropod shells  
🗑
Crabs   have a small abdomen that is folded under their larger, usually rounded cephalothorax  
🗑
maxillipeds   shrimp and crabs, have appendages near their mouths called  
🗑
compound eyes   these made up of thousands of light-sensitive receptors  
🗑
nauplius   these are larvae of the copepods and the barnacles  
🗑
Pycnogonida   are more commonly called sea spiders  
🗑
Insecta   true insects in the sea are found in this class  
🗑
Merostomata   are known as the horseshoe crabs, although they are not true crabs  
🗑
Echinodermata   members are sea stars, sea urchins, and sand dollars  
🗑
echinoderms   sea stars, sea urchins, and sand dollars are called  
🗑
pentamerous   have no head, dorsal, or ventral sides, we refer to these animals as having oral and aboral sides  
🗑
endoskeleton   developing from the internal tissues of the animal  
🗑
water vascular system   a network of water-filled canals in echinoderms, used for locomotion and feeding  
🗑
tube feet   are tiny extensions of the canals that, when filled with water, extend for locomotion, as well as sensory, respiratory, and excretory duties  
🗑
madreporite   the water vascular system connects to the outside via this on the aboral surface, this phenomenal arrangement behaves like the hydraulic system in a bulldozer  
🗑
