Everything about The Opisthosoma totally explained
The
opisthosoma is the posterior portion of the
arachnids body behind the
prosoma (cephalothorax). The number of segments and appendages on the opisthosoma vary. In general, appendages are absent or reduced, although in
horseshoe crabs they persist as large plate-like limbs, called branchiophores, bearing the
book gills, and that function in locomotion and gas exchange. In most
chelicerates the opisthosomal limbs are greatly reduced and persist only as specialized structures, such as the silk-producing
spinnerets of
spiders or the
pectines of
scorpions.
