Crayfish Dissection Quiz: Questions and Descriptions, Lecture notes of Anatomy

A quiz for identifying structures in a crayfish dissection and understanding their functions. Students are asked to name structures such as mandibles, gills, chelpeds, and stomach, and determine their functions, such as breaking food apart, defense, and digestion. The quiz also covers general characteristics of arthropods, such as jointed appendages, exoskeletons, and body segmentation. Additional structures discussed include antennal glands and swimmerets, and the function of excretion and the movement of the crayfish through water.

PowerPoint Quiz (Teacher)

10.What is a function of this structure? Excretion of body wastes (equivalent to urine) 11.What is one characteristic of arthropods (describe)?

  • Jointed appendages – bend to move in specific directions and specialized for specific jobs
  • Exoskeleton – hardened cuticle, which is an outside layer of skin; it is nonliving tissue called chitin that does not grow with the body and must be removed for growth in a process called molting (shedding)
  • Body segmentation – specific regions
  1. What is the structure indicated? Swimmerets
  2. Describe how the abdomen (tail) moves the crayfish through the water. Propels the crayfish in a backward direction by whipping the tail forward (third law of motion) Provided by Science Steve Sponsors
