Summary Introduction
To review:
The difference between a number of body regions and appendages on the head, among four groups of living arthropods.
Introduction:
Phylum Arthropoda is the largest phylum of the animal kingdom. It includes segmented animals with a hard exoskeleton and jointed appendages. These include insects, spiders, crustaceans, millipedes, and centipedes and some already extinct trilobites and related animals.
