This document discusses the phylum Arthropoda. It is divided into four main classes: Crustacea, Arachnida, Myriapoda, and Insecta. Crustaceans have hard exoskeletons and eat with mandibles, while arachnids have eight legs and book lungs. Myriapods have many leg-bearing segments and live in soil/under debris. Insects are the largest group and have three body segments, three pairs of legs, and one or two pairs of wings. Arthropods are ecologically important as a food source, through pollination, and by controlling pest populations.

insects have long, wormlike
segmented bodies
They have a pair of antenna
and each segment bear a pair
or two legs
These animals live in the soil,
under rocks or rotting logs and
leaves.
They have more than 10
legs.

16. MYRIAPODA

17. INSECTS
They form the largest group among
arthropods
They have three body sections,
three pairs of legs, a pair of
antenna and one to two pairs of
wings
Insects are more adapted for flying
and have tracheal tubes for
respiration
Insects are also successful animals
because they reproduce rapidly
They have 6 legs.

19. ECOLOGICAL IMPORTANCE
✘ Some Arthropods serve as food source
for both animals and humans
✘ Aid in the propagation of plant species by
means of cross-pollination
✘ Control the population of some harmful
organisms
✘ Some act as scavengers or saprotrophs19
