Vertebrates do not have exoskeletons.
Only vertebrates have a backbone.

Bone cells, which are found within the bone tissue, are responsible for the make-up of the skeleton of vertebrates. There are different types of bone tissue in a bone that are made up of different bone cells: there is the compact tissue which is the hard outer part of the bone, the cancellous tissue which is all the spongy tissue inside of the compact tissue, and the subchondral tissue which is the smooth tissue at the end of each bone. Bone cells all work together inside of the bones to help keep up the skeletal system. The bone cells do many things for the skeletal system such as the development of new bones, the maintenance of bones, and the regulation of minerals in the body.

Not all vertebrates have tails.

Myoglobin is a protein found in muscle tissue of vertebrates that is iron- and oxygen-binding. It is a primary oxygen-carrying pigment of muscle tissues and is related to hemoglobin, but only found in the bloodstream after a muscle injury.
