The document discusses invertebrates and arthropods. It provides definitions for key terms like invertebrate, vertebrate, heterotroph, embryo, and types of symmetry. It describes the germ layers and developmental stages of blastula and gastrula. It discusses characteristics of cnidarians like radial symmetry, tissue layers, body forms, and tentacles. It also summarizes features of arthropods like their exoskeleton, molting, segmentation, respiratory structures, and classification.

42. Biolab – Dissection of a Grasshopper: External Anatomy Long wings used for flying. Forewing / hind wing Hearing organ. Tympanum Valve-like opening in exoskeleton used for air. Spiracles Perceives odor, touch, humidity, vibration, wind velocity and direction. Antennae Simple – Detect light intensity, but cannot see. Compound – Made of individual units call ommatidia. Sees shape, color, movement, and distance. Eyes: Simple / Compound Allows for jumping – Has claws for clasping to objects. Legs Function Structure
