How many body regions do mites have?

Mites are classified as arachnids, and they have a distinct body structure that consists of two primary regions: the cephalothorax (which combines the head and thorax) and the abdomen. This characteristic of having two body regions sets them apart from insects, which have three distinct regions (head, thorax, and abdomen). The cephalothorax includes the mouthparts and appendages, while the abdomen houses the reproductive and digestive organs. This structural organization is essential in identifying and classifying mites as a specific group within the arachnids.
