An exterior skeletons (Exoskeleton) method of support is far different than an interior skeletons (Endoskeleton).

The major difference is that an exoskeleton has structeres called apodemes, which are chitin structures that serve as attachment sites in the same way that muscles in an endoskeleton attach to the bone.
