artrópodové
Artrópodové comprises the largest phylum in the animal kingdom, encompassing a vast diversity of organisms characterized by their segmented bodies, jointed appendages, and an exoskeleton. This exoskeleton, made primarily of chitin, provides protection and support but must be shed periodically to allow for growth, a process known as molting. The segmented body is typically divided into three distinct regions: the head, thorax, and abdomen, although in some groups these may be fused. Jointed appendages are a defining feature, serving various functions such as locomotion, feeding, sensing, and reproduction.
The phylum Arthropoda is further divided into several major classes. Chelicerates, which include arachnids like spiders
