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.

These legs assist in the initial stages of feeding by ensuring that food items are properly positioned for ingestion. Overall, they contribute to the crayfish's ability to efficiently consume its prey and detritus in its aquatic environment.

The telson is located at the posterior end of the crayfish's abdomen. It is part of the tail section and is typically the central, elongated piece that aids in propulsion during swimming. The telson works in conjunction with the uropods, which are located on either side, to help the crayfish maneuver in the water.
