How are the Telson and the Uropod similar?

The telson and the uropod are both parts of the tail structure in crustaceans, playing crucial roles in locomotion and movement. The telson is the central, posterior segment of the tail, while the uropods are paired appendages located on either side of the telson. Together, they contribute to the propulsion and steering of the organism in water. Both structures provide stability and aid in rapid movements, especially during escape responses.
