Q

Describe Arthropods body

(Similar to annelida/worms)

A
  • Body is segmented.
  • Each segment have appendages.
  • NOT SEPARATED INTERNALLY BY SEPTA.
  • MOST ORGANS ARE NOT METAMERICALLY ARRANGED.
  • Note: Metamerism allows for regions within the arthropod body to carry out speciallized functions.
  • Regional Specialization is called Tagmatization.
