He ʻano holoholona nā Arthropods. Loaʻa iā lākou nā inike, millipedes, pāpaʻi, a me nā arachnids. ʻEhā papa kēlā. ʻO ka papa ʻelima, nā trilobites, ua pau loa. ʻEhā hapalima o nā holoholona a pau o ke ao nei he arthropods.
Loaʻa nā Arthropods a puni ka honua. Manaʻo ʻia ka nui o nā mea e pono ai ke kanaka, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā iniseti e pollinate i nā pua. ʻAi pū mākou i kekahi mau ʻano, e like me ka ula a i ʻole ka ʻōpae. Loaʻa iā mākou ka meli mai nā pi a me ka siliki mai nā ʻanu silika. Ma nā ʻāina ʻē aʻe, makemake nā kānaka e ʻai i nā arthropod like ʻole. Eia nō hoʻi, ke maʻa mau nei lākou ma kā mākou mau papa, e like me ka ʻūhini a i ʻole ka ʻiʻo.
Akā, ke manaʻo nei mākou he poʻe pest: ʻo kekahi mau pipi e hōʻino i ka ululāʻau, a ʻo nā aphids i ke kohu mai nā lau o nā mea kanu, a make lākou. Ke ʻai ka mea ʻai i kā mākou meaʻai, ʻaʻole ia e manaʻo hou ʻia he pōmaikaʻi, akā he pest kekahi.
He aha ke ʻano o ke kino o ka arthropod?
He exoskeleton ko Arthropods. He pūpū kēia e like me ka ʻiʻo a i ʻole ka ʻili paʻakikī. Pono lākou e hoʻokahe pinepine iā lākou i mea e ulu ai. Hana ʻia kou kino i nā ʻāpana like ʻole i kapa ʻia nā ʻāpana. Hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike maikaʻi iā lākou i ka pi, no ka laʻana. He mau wāwae ko lākou ma ka ʻāpana hoʻokahi a ʻoi aku paha, ʻike maopopo ʻia i nā millipedes.
Nui nā arthropod e hanu ana ma ka tracheae. He mau ala ea maikaʻi kēia e alakaʻi ana i nā wahi āpau ma o ka ʻili i loko o ke kino. Hāʻawi kēia i kou kino me ka oxygen. Hana ʻia kēia "akomi", ʻo ia hoʻi ʻaʻole hiki i kēia mau holoholona ke hanu a i waho me ka ʻike. Hanu nā ʻākoʻo ʻē aʻe me nā gills. E like me ka iʻa, hiki iā lākou ke hoʻohana iā ia e hanu i lalo o ka wai.
ʻO ka hapa nui o nā arthropods he antennae, i kapa ʻia ʻo "feelers". ʻAʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i kekahi mea me ia, hiki iā ʻoe ke honi. No kekahi, aia kēia mau antennae i nā loulou he nui i hiki iā lākou ke neʻe pākahi. Kakaʻikahi nā arthropod ʻaʻohe antennae. Me lākou, lawe nā wāwae mua i kēia mau hana.
He pu'uwai lua ko ka Arthropods. ʻAʻole ia e pāpaʻi i ke koko, akā he wai like ʻole ma ke kino i kapa ʻia he hemolymph. 'Ōlelo lākou he "hemolums". Aia i loko o nā ʻōpū hoʻoheheʻe ka ʻōpū, a i ʻole kahi huaʻai wale nō, he mea like ia me ka ʻeke no ka meaʻai. A laila hele mai ka ʻōpū. Aia kekahi mau ʻano like me nā puʻupaʻa e hoʻopau i ka wai a me ka ʻōpala. Haʻalele ka feces a me ka mimi i ke kino ma ka puka like, ʻo ka cloaca.
Hele mai nā Arthropods i nā kāne a me nā wahine e hoʻopā e hānau ʻōpio. Hānau hua ka wahine a hānau ʻōpiopio paha. Mālama kekahi mau mākua i kā lākou ʻōpiopio, waiho kekahi i nā hua e hānai iā lākou iho.
