Animals are divided into two main groups, Invertebrates and Vertebrates. Vertebrates, such as man, have a spine and an endoskeleton, ( internal skeleton) to which all their muscles are attached. They also have a rib-cage which protects the heart and lungs etc, as well as a cranium, (skull) which protects the brain. Some INVERTEBRATES have no skeletons, such as earthworms and jelly-fish, but others, the ARTHROPODS, have an EXOSKELETON, ( outer skeleton) made up of chitin and calcium carbonate. The arthropods can be divided into ; the insects; the Spiders, the crustaceans, (lobsters, etc) and the Diplopods/myriapods, ( centipedes etc). The muscles and body organs are all INSIDE the exoskeleton.
