FIG. 72. Typical appendages of a Crayfish. All have been derived from a simple 

 biramous appendage similar to the swimming foot (10). Protopodite, endopodite, and 

 exopodite are homologous throughout the series, en, 1-5, parts of endopodite; ep,

 and the wing of a Bird are analogous structures. One of the 

 chief tasks of the branch of biology known as COMPARATIVE 

 ANATOMY is to discover the various parts of plants or of animals
