What animals have external skeleton?

dog, cat , human , zebra, giraffe, tiger, lobster, tiger hamster, horse, fox bear.Any animals with skeletons on the insides.LOBSTER IS A EXOSKELETON TOO! Isn't that cool!By- C.E.E.co. publisher- wiki answersAn endoskeleton is an internal support structure of an animal. In three phyla and one subclass of animals, endoskeletons of various complexity are found: Chordata, Echinodermata, Porifera, and Coleoidea. An endoskeleton allows the body to move and gives the body structure and shape. A true endoskeleton is derived from mesodermal tissue. Such a skeleton is present in echinoderms and chordates. The poriferan 'skeleton' consists of microscopic calcareous or siliceous spicules or a spongin network. The Coleoidae do not have a true endoskeleton in the evolutionary sense; here, a mollusc exoskeleton evolved into several sorts of internal structure, the "cuttlebone" of cuttlefish being the best-known version. Yet they do have cartilaginous tissue in their body, even if it is not mineralized, especially in the head, where it forms a primitive cranium. An important advantage of an endoskeleton over an exoskeleton is that it provides more structural support.-From wikipedia-cjSimply put an endoskeleton is one to be found inside the body of an animal. An endoskeleton is an internal support structure of an animal. In three phyla and one subclass of animals, endoskeletons of various complexity are found: Chordata, Echinodermata, Porifera, and Coleoidea.Compare this with an exoskeleton which is found outside the body. Crabs and Insects show this kind of skeleton.


Why do animals moult their exoskeleton as they grow?

having an exoskeleton affect how an animal grows because the exoskeleton does not grow as the animal grows so the animal must shed or molt its exoskeleton.


Where can skin be found?

Skin is the outermost layer of tissue of the body, so it can be found on all organisms having an endoskeleton (a skeleton on the inside of the body, rather than a skeleton on the outside, which would be an exoskeleton like insects have).All over your body


Does a dog have a exoskeleton?

Frogs do not have an exoskeleton. Frogs have an endoskeleton. They actually have bones that form a skeleton around which their body is built. On the outside they have skin through which they are capable of absorbing oxygen dissolved in water. A link is provided to a really cool picture of a frog's skeleton posted at Wikipedia.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of animal breeding on the environment?

The advantage of animal breeding is that animals that are close to extinction can be repopulated. The disadvantage of animal breeding is over population of common animal species.

Does a clam have a endoskeleton or exoskeleton?

Starfish have an endoskeleton that consists of calcium carbonite plates. These plates are covered in a thin skin layer, making them endo or under the skin. An exoskeleton would be like that of a crab (an outer shell/ no skin over it). Starfish dont have a backbone.


Do 95 percent of known species have bones?

No. Many animal species have an exoskeleton or no skeleton at all. The huge amount of animals that fall into these two categories makes it impossible for 95% of known species to have bones. Insects make up over half of the known species. Insects have an exoskeleton and do not have bones like humans and other vertebrates do. Since more than 50% of species are insects and therefore have an exoskeleton, it is impossible for more than 50% of species to have bones.


What is the advantage of extracellular digestion over intracellular digestion?

extracellular digestion enables and animal to digest much larger prey then intracellulary digestion allows.


What kind of environment does an arthropod live in?

Arthropods use external skeletons (exoskeletons).
