Example sentencesExamples
- Ventral appendages suggest a different pattern of tagmosis, especially if tagmata are defined as zones of functional specialization, as is commonly the case when considering arthropod appendages.
- The distinct adult thorax and pygidia evident in some trilobites probably do deserve recognition as separate tagmata, but this may not be the case among all trilobites.
- The chelicerate body plan is characterized by two tagmata, the prosoma, including head structures, and the opisthosoma.
- All hexapods have a body divided into three basic tagmata - head, thorax, and abdomen - and three pairs of thoracic legs.
