Summary Introduction
To review:

Introduction:
The insects are also called the arthropods. The insects possess the paired and jointed appendages. They also have an exoskeleton, which is made up of the chitin. The specialized segments possess by the insects allow the various types of the adaptations required for the active and successful lifestyles of the insects.
