I think from disecting a crayfish in my Biology class, that crayfish have 5 sets of different appendages. All in all, the crayfish we disected had 36 actual appendages. Appendages are areas on an animal that "stick out". Kind of like our arms and legs except crustaceans and other animals have more, and can grow them back if they are cut off. Like I said, total, our crayfish had 36 appendages from anterior to posterior. There are a total of 38 appendages, 19 on each side.

Do crayfish regrow eyes?
Crayfish have the ability to regenerate practically any appendage that gets broken off. They can regrow legs, claws,antennae, even eyes if they happen to get snipped off in a fight.
What do you think would happen if a crayfish lost an appendage?
If a crayfish lost an appendage, it would likely experience difficulties in movement, feeding, and defense, as these appendages play crucial roles in its daily survival. However, crayfish have a remarkable ability to regenerate lost limbs over time, allowing them to recover functionally. The regeneration process may take several weeks to months, depending on the species and environmental conditions. During this period, the crayfish might be more vulnerable to predators and challenges in its environment.
What is a feeding appendage on a Crayfish?
According to the book "The crayfish of Missouri" written by William L. Pflieger "The mouth parts of a crayfish consists of five parts of overlapping structures, each with its own role in crushing and shredding the food before it is ingested." "the largest of these structures are the heavy tooth-like mandibles." The link depicts a detailed image of the mouth parts.
