Due to the rigidity of the arthropod exoskeleton, the safest answer might be "jointed' ones - hence the phylum's name Arthropoda, from the Greek, meaning, jointed appendages. They do evidence a variety of appendages: legs, pincers, wings, swimmerets, antennae, tails, etc., depending on what environment and food source they are adapted to.

What kind of animals are arthopods?
arthos-joints,podae-leg or appendages.... it includes all insects. it is the most successful phylum in kingdom animalia...
What are the featuresthat all arthopods share?
Arthropods are characterized by segmented bodies, an exoskeleton made from chitin, and joint appendages.
What are the function of arthopods?
An arthopod is not a 'thing' with a function within something... It is a an invertebrate animal having an exoskeleton (external skeleton), a segmented body, and jointed appendages.
Name two other animals in the same phylum as a crayfish?
Crab, shrimp, and lobsters are in the same phylum as crayfish. They are all in the arthropoda phylum. Arthopods have an exoskeleton, a segmented body, and jointed appendages.
Do all arthpods are invertebrates?
All arthopods do not have backbones which makes all arthopods invertebrates!
What are inscets?
arthopods
Why lobster belongs to the arthropods group?
because using the process of allimanation athropod would be the only possible answer
What do all arthopods have?
Exoskeletons.
Do joints in an arthopods appendages give them flexibility and the ability to move?
Yes, jointing is critical in arthropod morphology owing to the general rigidity of the exoskeleton, and the very reason for the name of the phylum (Arthropoda loosely means "joint appendages"). Jointing provides mobility through flexion and extension of walking limbs, swimmerets, and wings; as also for signalling, digging, grasping, sensing, eating and other capabilities.
What kind of appenages do reptiles have?
lizards and turtles have legs and a tail, but a snake has no appendages.
What animals are arthopods?
the normal ones
How many appendage does a crayfish have?
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.
