Phylum Arthropoda hosts at least eighteen classes, (not counting those yet to be fully classified):
Trilobita - trilobites (extinct)
Arachnida - Spiders, scorpions, etc.
Merostomata - horseshoe crabs, eurypterids (extinct), etc.
Pycnogonida - sea spiders
Chilopoda - centipedes
Diplopoda - millipedes
Pauropoda - sister group to millipedes
Symphyla - resemble centipedes
Branchiopoda - brine shrimp etc.
Remipedia - blind crustaceans
Cephalocarida - horseshoe shrimp
Maxillopoda - barnacles, copepods, fish lice, etc.
Ostracoda - seed shrimp
Malacostraca - lobsters, crabs, shrimp, etc.
Insecta - insects
Entognatha - wingless
Camptophyllia (extinct)
Marrellomorpha (with one extinct species)
Under phylum arthropoda are several subphyla, below which there are at least 18 classes, viz:
Trilobita - trilobites (extinct)
Arachnida - spiders, scorpions, etc.
Merostomata - horseshoe crabs, eurypterids (extinct), etc.
Pycnogonida - sea spiders
Chilopoda - centipedes
Diplopoda - millipedes
Pauropoda - sister group to millipedes
Symphyla - resemble centipedes
Branchiopoda - brine shrimp etc.
Remipedia - blind crustaceans
Cephalocarida - horseshoe shrimp
Maxillopoda - barnacles, copepods, fish lice, etc.
Ostracoda - seed shrimp
Malacostraca - lobsters, crabs, shrimp, etc.
Insecta - insects
Entognatha - wingless
Camptophyllia (extinct)
Marrellomorpha (with one extinct species)
Note that the taxonomic rank of some may be different depending on the text consulted (sometimes the distinction of subphylum, class, and subclass may blur); and that some are still being debated or of uncertain classification.
Arthropoda are generally considered to be one of about 35 phyla. Below (beneath) the phylum arthropoda (arthropods) are two clades, Chelicerata (which includes the arachnids) and Mandibulata (which includes crustaceans and insects). Properly speaking below those are subphyla and beneath those are the taxonomic entity properly called a "Class" of which there are dozens under the arthropod "umbrella". Note that there does linger some debate on the taxonomic classification system and sometimes the distinction between clades, subphyla and classes tends to blur.

Which of the five classes of arthropods is the most diverse?
Insecta you nucking retards!
How many hearts do Arthropods have?
NO. Arthropods do not have a 4 chambered hearts.
How many sections are arthropods divided into?
The three main classes of arthropods are: insects (cockroachs, ants, flies, bees, beetles, butterflies), crustaceans (crabs, lobsters, shrimps, barnacles) and arachnids (scorpions, spiders, mites). Other classes are onychophorans (velvet worms), diplopods (millipedes) and chilopods (centipedes).
What different kinds of appendages do arthropods have?
This large phylum includes classes as wide and diverse as: arachnida, insecta and crustacea. The appendages that can be seen in these classes include: jointed legs, antennae, mandibles and maxillae, although each class is more specific.

no, i dont know what they are, but they are not arthropods
What class the arthropods belong to?

What type of inscets are in arthropods and name each inscets that is arthropods?
All insects are arthropods. The phylum Arthropoda contains the classes Insecta (insects), Crustacea (crabs, lobsters, etc), Chelicerata (arachnids) and a few others.

Which of the five classes of arthropods is the most diverse Explain?
Insecta...Cant Explain. Sorry. =) Try To Google It...
Are all arthropods insects?
No. Arthropoda is a phylum, containing the classes Insecta, Arachnida, Crustacea and Myriapoda - insects, arachnids, crustaceans and centi/millipedes. So all insects are arthropods but not all arthropods are insects. ^^
How many sections are arthropods divided into?
The three main classes of arthropods are: insects (cockroachs, ants, flies, bees, beetles, butterflies), crustaceans (crabs, lobsters, shrimps, barnacles) and arachnids (scorpions, spiders, mites). Other classes are onychophorans (velvet worms), diplopods (millipedes) and chilopods (centipedes).
What are animals that are arthropods?
Insects, Arachnids (scorpions and spiders), Crustaceans (crabs, lobsters, shrimp), Millipedes and Centipedes are all classified as Arthropods. An article that goes into more detail of the sub-phyla and classes can be found at the related link below.
What class does the arthropods belongs to?
They actually belong to the group called Mollusks.
Does an anthropods have wings?
Anthropods (humans) do not have wings; not to be confused with phylum Arthropoda (arthropods). Many arthropods have wings (insects are arthropods, including flying insects), but, of course, not all of them.
