Segment is the serial repetition of simlar body parts along with the length of an animal the body of animals can be truly segmented or pseudo/false segmented .
True segmentation is found in annelids ,aethropods and some chrodates , in this there is a linear reprtion of body parts and each repeated unit is called somnite (metamere)
in earthworms the successive somites are essentially similar but they are dissimilar in different body regions of a crayfish or insect, Metamerism is conspicous both are dissiomilar in different body regions of a cryfish or insect ,Metamerism is conspicuous both externally and internally in annelids,
Pseudosegmentation is seen when body is divided into number of pseudosegments which are independent of each other Each segment is able to perform all the vital function of body grows by the addition of new segments from the anterior end e.g tapeworm.
