Arthropods have all of these characteristics: * The body is divided into segments. * Paired and jointed appendages (legs, antennae, claws, and external mouth parts) * Exoskeleton (hard outer covering made of chitin and no internal bones). Periodically, the rigid exoskeleton is shed in a process called moulting. * Bilateral symmetry (each side is a mirror image of the other side). * Specialised mouth parts * Compound eyes (like a fly) * The circulatory system an open one, the only blood vessel usually being a tubular structure dorsal to the alimentary canal with lateral openings in the abdominal region. * The nerves run along the lower part of the body below the digestive system - all except the brain. * Respiration by means of gills, or tracheae and spiracles. * The sexes nearly always separate. Not all of these characteristics are unique to arthropods, but the combination makes an arthropod, and all must be present.
