  2. Arthropod - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthropod

    The relative simplicity of the arthropods' body plan, allowing them to move on a variety of surfaces both on land and in water, have made them useful as models for robotics. The redundancy provided by segments allows arthropods and biomimetic robots to move normally even with damaged or lost appendages.

  3. Hemolymph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemolymph

    Arthropod hemolymph contains high levels of free amino acids. Most amino acids are present but their relative concentrations vary from species to species. Concentrations of amino acids also vary according to the arthropod stage of development. An example of this is the silkworm and its need for glycine in the production of silk. [8]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrostatic_skeleton

    Healing in these organisms varies from creature to creature. However, if the cavity needs to be refilled, the “fluid” can easily be refilled if it is water or blood. If the fluid is some other type of liquid, it can take longer, but it is still faster than healing a bone. The common earthworm is also able to regrow damaged parts of its body ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Arthropods/Intro

    Arthropods (/ ˈ ɑːr θ r ə p ɒ d / ARTH-rə-pod) are invertebrates in the phylum Arthropoda. They possess an exoskeleton with a cuticle made of chitin , often mineralised with calcium carbonate , a body with differentiated ( metameric ) segments , and paired jointed appendages .

  6. Arthropod exoskeleton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthropod_exoskeleton

    The arthropod exoskeleton is divided into different functional units, each comprising a series of grouped segments; such a group is called a tagma, and the tagmata are adapted to different functions in a given arthropod body. For example, tagmata of insects include the head, which is a fused capsule, the thorax as nearly a fixed capsule, and ...

    A dish called "Duck, Duck, Duck" because the three parts come from the complex body of the duck: duck eggs, duck confit and roast duck breast Varieties of goat cheese. An animal product is any material derived from the body of a non-human animal or their excretions. [1]

  8. List of arthropod orders - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_arthropod_orders

    Arthropods are invertebrate animals having an exoskeleton, a segmented body, and paired jointed appendages. Arthropods form the phylum Arthropoda. They are distinguished by their jointed limbs and cuticle made of chitin, often mineralised with calcium carbonate. The arthropod body plan consists of segments

  9. Arachnid locomotion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arachnid_locomotion

    Hydraulic locomotion in arachnids has acted as an inspiration for many modern biomimetic concepts in robotics intended for use by or with people, especially in the field of soft robotics. The use of hydraulics in robotic joints is aimed at replacing the more control heavy nature of modern robotics with a more passive system developed in soft ...
