What is the external covering arthropods have?
It's called an exoskeleton, exo being outside.
Does Arthropods have a rigid outer covering called mantle?
No, the rigid outer covering of arthropods is usually called the exoskeleton. In biology the mantle is a major anatomical component of a different phylum - molluscs, the tissue which contains the internal organs and in many molluscs responsible for secreting the mineralized outer shell.
What enables arthropods to increase in size?
Since the external covering (exoskeleton) is inflexible, it's necessary for arthropods to periodically shed it (moult) in order to grow, a process called ecdysis.
What body covering do crayfish have?
Crayfish are crustaceans, and therefore have a shell-like outer covering called an exoskeleton.
What is an arthropod's body covering?
The external covering on arthropods is called the exoskeleton (or cuticle). It is made of a tough protein called chitin, a long chain polymer comparable to cellulose. Because it's inflexible, arthropods need to shed it (moult) in order to grow.

What is the name of the outer covering of an arthropod?
It is called the exosketon. It is made from a hard protein, chitin, which arthropods often biomineralize for further strength.

Why are arthropods called arthropods?
They express the characteristics inherent to arthropods. All insects are arthropods. Not all arthropods are insects.
The hard outer covering of an insect?
The bodies of arthropods are supported by a hardened exoskeleton made of chitin, a substance produced by many non-arthropods as well. In arthropods, the nonliving exoskeleton is like a form-fitting suit of armor.
