    This document provides information about the classification, anatomy, nervous system, senses, and habitat of prawns. It notes that prawns are crustaceans in the orders Decapoda and Palaemonidae, can be found in both salt and fresh water, have distinctive features like claws on three pairs of legs, and a nervous system including a brain, ventral nerve cord, and autonomic and peripheral nerves that control senses and limb movement.

    • Family: Palaemonidae
    • Genus: Macrobrachium
    • Species: M. rosenbergii
    • Small aquatic marine swimming crustacean which resembles a large shrimp.
    • long antennae and a colorless shell.
    • an exoskeleton and having ten legs and some of which can be eaten.
    • Prawns can also be found in both fresh and salt water, but unlike shrimp, most varieties are
    found in fresh water.
    • Most varieties of prawn prefer warmer waters.
    • Prawns often reside in calm waters where they can perch on plants or rocks and
    comfortably lay their eggs.
    • Prawns are typically larger than shrimp.
    • Prawns have claws on three of their five pairs of legs.
    • Have distinctive color.
    • Most prawns swim or drift in water
    • Other spend most of their lives searching for food on the seabed.
    • Some called as cleaner prawns specialize in picking parasites and leftover food of fish.
    NERVOUS SYSTEM
    OF A PRAWNS

    CNS PNS ANS

    -Brain -Nerves from brain


    -Circumoesophegeal Sensory organs
    -Nerves from cephalothoradc
    connectives ganglionic mass
    -Ventral thoracic mass -Nerve from abdominal
    -Ventral nerve cord ganglia
    • Antennule- The pincers are held in front and the feelers of the antennules
    • Antennae- are in continuous motion making a survey of the environment.
    • Eyes- able to see.
    • Visceral ganglia- It contains the cell bodies of autonomic nerves.
    • Mandibular- The mandibular nerve is the only branch of CN V to conduct motor axons to
    the muscles of the head and neck.
    • Maxillary- sensory organs used to test the quality of the food.
    • Walking legs-
    • Pedal nerve- each of pair operated levers use for the legs propelled by the legs.
    • Extension- a part that is added to something to enlarge of of it a continuation
    • Flexure- the action of bending and curving
    • Uropods- posterior appendages typically have function in locomotion.
    • Telson- in the middle of uropods is a structure called the telson together make up the tail fan.

    PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM


    A. Nerves from brain
    - Optic
    -Ophthalmic
    -Antennulary
    -Tegumental
    B. Nerves from cephalothoradc ganglionic mass
    Eleven pairs of nerves originated from cephalothoracic ganglionic mass.
    C. Nerves from abdominal ganglia.
    AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM
    Sense Organs
    Statocysts- balance control contains statoliths( sensory receptors for response to gravity.
    Tactile setae- hairl present in the statocyst (organellesof balance)
    Olfactory setae- carries specialize sensory organ.
    Compound eyes- pair of large stalked eyes composed of large number ofindependent visual
    units called ommatida.
