I feel like I will be filming my video on centipede anatomy soon, and I want to make sure I'm up to speed, so here's what I'll be including. Please point out anything that is missing or incorrect.
Tergite - dorsal plate covering a metameric segment of an arthropod.
Metamerical segmentation - number of segments does not change with growth.
Cephalic plate - armor plate on the head.
Ocelli - simple eyes.
Antenna - self explanatory, used to detect vibrations and chemical trails.
Antennomere - segments on antennae; may be glabrous (smooth) or *what is the term for "not glabrous"?*
Trunk - main body of a centipede.
Spiracle - specialized breathing structures, allow for gas exchange.
Terminal legs - final pair of legs, used for defense.
Forcipules - modified legs that inject venom.
