    The document discusses several different phyla of invertebrate animals: (1) Insects have segmented bodies, jointed legs, and external skeletons. They are divided into three regions: the head, thorax, and abdomen. (2) Crustaceans are generally aquatic arthropods with two pairs of appendages in front of the mouth and paired appendages near the mouth functioning as jaws. (3) Arachnids include spiders, scorpions, mites, and ticks. Only a few species are economically important as vectors of disease.

    Insect, (class Insecta or Hexapoda), any member of the largest class of the phylum Arthropoda,
    which is itself the largest of the animal phyla. Insects have segmentedbodies, jointed legs, and
    external skeletons (exoskeletons). Insects are distinguished from other arthropods by their
    body, which is divided into three major regions: (1) the head, which bears the mouthparts, eyes,
    and a pair of antennae, (2) the three-segmented thorax, which usually has three pairs of legs
    (hence “Hexapoda”) in adults and usually one or two pairs of wings, and (3) the many-
    segmented abdomen, which contains the digestive, excretory, and reproductive organs.

    Crustacean, any member of the subphylum Crustacea (phylum Arthropoda), a group


    of invertebrate animals are generally aquatic and differ from other arthropods in having two
    pairs of appendages (antennules and antennae) in front of the mouth and paired appendages
    near the mouth that function as jaws. 
    Arachnid, (class Arachnida), any member of the arthropod group that includes spiders, daddy
    longlegs, scorpions, and (in the subclass Acari) the mites and ticks, as well as lesser-known
    subgroups. Only a few species are of economic importance—for example, the mites and ticks,
    which transmit diseases to humans, other animals, and plants.

    Echinoderm, any of a variety of invertebrate marine animals belonging to the phylum


    Echinodermata, characterized by a hard, spiny covering or skin. 
    Worm, any of various unrelated invertebrate animals that typically have soft, slender, elongated
    bodies. Worms usually lack appendages; polychaete annelids are a conspicuous exception.

    Sponge, any of the primitive multicellular aquatic animals that constitute the phylum Porifera.
    They number approximately 5,000 described species and inhabit all seas, where they occur
    attached to surfaces from the intertidal zone to depths of 8,500 metres (29,000 feet) or more.
    The members of one family, the Spongillidae, are found in fresh water; however, 98 percent of
    all sponge species are marine. Adult sponges lack a definite nervous system and musculature
    and do not show conspicuous movements of body parts.
    Mollusk, also spelled mollusc, any soft-bodied invertebrate of the phylum Mollusca, usually
    wholly or partly enclosed in a calcium carbonate shell secreted by a soft mantle covering the
    body. Along with the insects and vertebrates, it is one of the most diverse groups in
    the animal kingdom.
