General Information Phylum Arthropoda Characteristics Phylum: Arthropoda Examples: Insects Spiders Crustaceans Centipedes Millipedes Scorpions Characteristics c. Jointed Appendages 1. Body Structure a. Eucoelomate = fluidfluid-filled body cavity, gut lined with peritoneum b. Segmentation (Metamerism) Metamerism) Tagmata = fused segments Characteristics d. Exoskeleton with chitin Advantages 1) Protection 2) Place for muscle attachment Disadvantages 1) Have to molt to get bigger 2)During ecdysis (molting): cannot move, very vulnerable to predation Characteristics 2.
