Each segment of the body usually bears a pair of append- ages and each is typically double. Among these ap- I'tndagcs much division of labour is often exhibited, some l)eing sensoiy, others masticatory, others locomotor. In the higher forms the hfe-hjstory is often long and circuitous, with a succession of larval stages. The lower Crustaceans arc grouped together as Enfnmostraca. riiey are often small and simple in structure; the number of ^y^^,'^.
