Their bodies can be divided into three parts: the <a href="/wiki/Cephalon_(arthropod_head)" title="Cephalon (arthropod head)">cephalon</a> (head), the <a href="/wiki/Pereon" class="mw-redirect" title="Pereon">pereon</a> (thorax), and the <a href="/wiki/Abdomen" title="Abdomen">abdomen</a>. The pereon comprises most of the length of the body. It is divided into seven segments known as pereonites. The cephalon is usually fused to the first pereonite; while the highly reduced and almost invisible abdomen is attached to the posterior of the seventh pereonite. They possess two pairs of antennae, with the first pair usually longer than the second pair. The cephalon contains <a href="/wiki/Mandible_(arthropod)" class="mw-redirect" title="Mandible (arthropod)">mandibles</a>, <a href="/wiki/Maxilla_(arthropod_mouthpart)" title="Maxilla (arthropod mouthpart)">maxillae</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Maxilliped" class="mw-redirect" title="Maxilliped">maxillipeds</a> which function as mouthparts.<sup id="cite_ref-LD_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-LD-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-OAKLEY_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-OAKLEY-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Each pereonite has a pair of appendages known as pereopods. The first two pairs are modified into <a href="/wiki/Raptorial" title="Raptorial">raptorial</a> appendages known as <a href="/wiki/Gnathopod" class="mw-redirect" title="Gnathopod">gnathopods</a>. These are used for feeding and defense, as well as locomotion. The third and fourth pair of pereopods are usually reduced or absent altogether. In the third and fourth pereonites are two pairs of gills. Sometimes a third pair of gills may also be present on the second pereonite. In mature females, brood pouches formed by extensions of the <a href="/wiki/Arthropod_coxa" class="mw-redirect" title="Arthropod coxa">coxae</a> (oostegites) are present on the third and fourth pereonites.
