Atlantic horseshoe crab carries out circulation in order to transport nutrients, oxygen, and carbon dioxide throughout the body through its blood. According to Bang & Levin (n.d.) the Limulus polyphemus has a semi-closed circulatory system like most arthropods and is cold-blooded. Since the circulatory systems is only semi-closed it still acts the same as an open circulatory system, meaning that blood is somewhat contained in the arrangement of blood vessels. In order for circulation to occur the blood

fruit that we can eat. We can also make other product with its citric acid and their peel in whitening skin and an insect repellant. An insect repellent is a substance applied to skin, clothing, or other surfaces which discourages insects (and arthropods in general) from landing or climbing on that surface. Effective insect repellents can protect you from serious mosquito- and tick-borne diseases. In the United States, mosquitoes can transmit diseases like St. Louis encephalitis and West Nile virus

are cells located within the endocrine glands that stem from various nerve cells that have traveled during the evolutionary process to different locations in the body from the nervous system itself. These types of endocrine glands are defined in arthropods as well as vertebrates in which they are more developed. It has been discovered that many of previously attributed hormones of vertebrates are secreted by invertebrates like the pancreatic hormone insulin. There has also been a discovery of invertebrate

Tarantulas will eat anything small enough to catch and consume. They will eat things things such as: arthropods, reptiles, amphibians, birds, and even small mammals. They will even eat other tarantulas, if given the

The dunkleosteus is a cast and mold fossil. Fossil remains that have been found are the head plates and neck armor which were excavated in North America, Western Europe, and Northern Africa. They lived nearly 25 million years in the Devonian period. The dunkleosteus is a lot alike to our shark today as both are very aggressive and high on the food chain. When food was short in the ocean dunkleosteus would feed off of each other. The dunkleosteus could grow to be at least 20-30 feet in length and

Lyme Disease Lyme Disease is caused by a bacterium called Borrelia burgdorferi which is transmitted from animals to humans. (1). The means of transmission are arthropod vectors, specifically ticks. Those who have been exposed to Lyme disease experience symptoms such as fever, heachache , lack of energy and skin rashes. (2) The disease is characterized by a ‘bullseye’ rash called erythema migrans. Borrelia burgdorferi
