One of the unjointed lateral locomotor proce es or series of foot-stumps, foot-tubercles, or rudimentary limbs of many worms, as annelids. Parapodia exhibit the greatest diversity in the extent to which they are developed at the sides of the succe ive segments of annelids, and also in their own sizes and shapes; and each parapodium-that is, the right or left foot-stump of any one segment - may be divisible into a dorsal and a ventral part, the former of which is a no to podium, the latter a neuropodium. The term is gener ally used in the plural, referring either to the right and left parapodia of any one segment or to the series of succe ive parapodia. The proce es are so called because they are lateral in position, projecting from the sides of the worm. Those anterior ones which lie near the mouth are sometimes specially modified in size, shape, or direction, suggesting the foot-jaws of arthropods.
