I assume calm means clam? In which case, a clam does have a hard external (skeleton?) shell of calcium carbonate. The shell is known as an exoskeleton.
A crab has an external hard shell, and is an invertebrate.
Skeletons:All animals, including humans have skeletons. Humans have an internal skeleton. This means that our bones is on the inside of us. When an animal has an external skeleton it means that their skeleton is on the outside. These animals who have an external skeleton have what we commonly call shells. These shells are their skeleton which keeps their insides together. If you think of one of those big crabs and how there is a shell on the outside of them (not sea shells) this is their skeleton which is an external skeleton.
ARTHROPOD Crustaceans Also, insects, arachnids, etc. Generally, invertebrates with jointed limbs and a hard external skeleton are called arthropods. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthropod
External, meaning outside. Thus, Outside(External) Skeleton.
That is called the Exoskeleton. It is an external skeleton that protects the body of arthropods.

Yep. That means their bones are on the inside, like yours. A lobster has an external- or exo-skeleton. Hard outer shell, no bones inside.
External - Exoskeleton .
No, we have our bones inside our bodies.
On the outside. For example, wasps have an external skeleton.
nothing.
A creature with an external skeleton is said to have an exo-skeleton.
