The description and differences between the respiratory systems used by four major arthropod groups.

Introduction:

Arthropods’ are animals, which possess an external skeleton, segmented body parts, and appendages of other parts of the body. The external skeleton and layers of skin protect the internal organism of the body. Arthropods can be divided into four major classes and they are such as the insects, arachnids, centipedes, and crustaceans. The respiratory system in each of these is different because of different living conditions they exist.
