The external covering on arthropods is called the exoskeleton (or cuticle). It is made of a tough protein called chitin, a long chain polymer comparable to cellulose. Because it's inflexible, arthropods need to shed it (moult) in order to grow.
The proper name for the outer covering is the exoskeleton. It is made of a tough protein called chitin, a molecule simlar to cellulose; in some ways like the hard protein keratin in hair, fingernails, hooves, beaks, claws, etc. Since it is inflexible, arthropods can't grow in size and have to adopt a strategy of moulting the entire exoskeleton in order to grow.
The external covering of an arthropod is technically known as an exoskeleton, but more commonly called a shell.
The outer covering of an arthropod is called its carapace. It is the arthropod's skeleton, which it wears on the outside, rather than on the inside like we do.
Protective outer covering of Arthropds is called exoskeleton . It is also called cutical .
It is made up of chitin .
the correct answer is exoskeleton. :)

All arthropods have the followingcharacteristics.1. A hard outer body covering called an exoskeleton.2. Specialized mouth parts3. Jointed legs4. Compound Eyes5. Segmented body__ Nissy 2012
Do arthropods have backbones?No, it is the exoskeleton that holds the arthropod's body together. arthropods are invertebrates, which means they do not have backbones.

Characteristics of arthropods: 1 - a hard outer body covering called an exoskeleton 2 - specialized mouth parts 3 - jointed legs 4 - compound eyes 5 - segmented body 6 - bilateral symmetry 7 - a tubular alimentary canal, with mouth and anus 8 - respiration by means of gills, tracheae and spiracles
Crayfish are crustaceans, and therefore have a shell-like outer covering called an exoskeleton.

A cuticle is part of the human fingernail. Cuticle can be used to refer to the organic hard outer covering of any organism, including arthropods (of which cricket is a member).

Ants don't have bones. Like other insects, they are arthropods and have an exoskeleton (hard covering outside their body) instead.
Arthropoda (the arthropods) is a taxon or classification referred to as a phylum. Arthropods are characterized by the presence of an exoskeleton made from chitin, joint appendages, and a segmented body.

It's called an exoskeleton, exo being outside.
It depends on the classification of vertebrate.Mammals have a body covering of fur, skin or hair.Birds have a body covering of feathers.Reptiles have a body covering of scaly skin.Fish have a body covering of scales.Amphibians have a body covering of moist skin.
