Insects, arachnids, and crustaceans
Insects have 3 body segments. (head, thorax, abdomen)
Have a hard exoskeleton made of chitin.
Appendages be used for feeding, defense, sensory and reception.
Invertebrate phyla that obtains oxygen by using gills (marine) or air tubes (terrestrial.)
Use pincers and stingers as attack weapons to defend themselves
Characterized by having jointed legs, segmented bodies, and sometimes wings
Exocytosis is basically when your vesicles transport materials out of a cell.
Once the neurotransmitters are synthesised and packaged into vesicles, they are transported until the vesicles reach the cell membrane. Then the 2 bilayers rearrange themselves so that the vesicles are able to fuse with the membrane . Once that occurs, the neurotransmitters will spill out whatever it was carrying.
Two examples of exocytosis are
1) your nerve cells releasing transmitters (explained in the description above)
2)your T cells sending vesicles filled with enzymes to viral infected cells
To protect them for predators, parasites, and germs<span />
