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. 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.

Simply 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.

What is an external skeleton and an internal skeleton?

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.
