Summary Introduction
To describe:
The respiratory systems of the four major arthropod groups.
Introduction:
The four major groups of arthropods are “insects”, “myriapods”, “arachnids”, and “crustaceans”. The body plan of arthropods is segmented and exhibit exoskeleton. The main characteristic feature of the arthropods is the presence of the dichotomized attached appendages.
