Summary Introduction
To list: The four extant classes of arthropods and a characteristic that distinguishes them from one another.
Introduction: The members of arthropods are small, usually a few millimetres in length, and the adults range in size from about 80 micrometer long. These organisms consist of segmented body, exoskeleton, and joined appendages. The segments are specialized into functional groups or tagmata, such as the head, thorax and abdomen, of an insect.
