How is the prostomium different from the last segment?
The prostomium is the first segment of an annelid's body, located at the anterior end, and serves as a sensory structure, often housing sensory organs such as eyes and antennae. In contrast, the last segment, or pygidium, is the terminal segment of the body, primarily involved in the organism's excretion and reproduction. While the prostomium is not considered a true segment in terms of segmentation, the last segment is fully developed and contributes to the overall structure and function of the annelid. Thus, they differ in both position and function within the body plan.
