Animal With a Segmented Body

This is a photo of a beetle. A beetle is an example of an animal with a segmented body. A segmented body is the division of the body and is divided into functional units. This physical attribute is found in all insects and most animals and include three main regions: head, thorax, and abdomen. The beetle clearly shows these three regions as going right to left the beetle shows its head, thorax, and abdomen. Each segmented unit contains their own organs and purpose. For example, most heads contain the brain, eyes, nose, and mouth. The thorax's main purpose it for movement, so most insect's thoraxes contain their wings and legs. The abdomen is where the reproductive organs, heart, and digestive organs are contained.
