(head-chest) and abdomen.

Strengthened by calcium carbonate in crustaceans.

14. jointed appendages in arthropods - ANSWER: jointed appendages that allow
for rapid and precise movement. Can serve diverse functions.

15. Origin of wings (who got them, what part of the body do they extend from and
what is the benefit of wings?)
- ANSWER: -Insects were the first animals to achieve powered flight.
