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.
maxillipeds
The maxillipeds are the little arm like extentions from the mouth that help hold food when eating.
b\c maxillipede holds the food of the crayfish
it is the antenna, antennule, rostrum, and the maxillipeds (feeding appendages).
A crayfish has a pair of mandibles and several pairs of maxillipeds in its mouth that help it to crush food. The mandibles are like small pincers, while the maxillipeds are used to handle and manipulate food before it is eaten.
it is the antenna, antennule, rostrum, and the maxillipeds (feeding appendages).
A crayfish's mouth is located on the bottom side of its head, just behind its antennae. The crayfish has numerous mouth appendages including 2 sets of maxilla, 3 sets of maxillipeds, and mandibles.
Fu.. You manelle chahal you are sweet and georguos but you influence by your friend and I tell you I love you I want to be your boy friend but don't influence by your friend specially gisille garcia
crayfish have six antennae
Crayfish have a total of 5 swimmerets
a crayfish can have up to 100 babies.
Prawns use their maxillipeds to manipulate food by holding it and passing it to their mouthparts for consumption. They help in feeding, handling, and processing food particles.
