The tail of the lobster is often intended to indicate the muscular, chitin-plated articulated segmented abdomen (which ends up with butter and lemon on your dinner plate); which has six segments and bears pleopods (swimmerets). At the terminus of the abdomen are the uropods (on the outside), which together with a telson (center) form the lobster's tail fan, which among other functions assists in locomotion in an escape behavior shared by other decapods called the caridoid escape reaction.
