that would be a exoskeleton. A exoskeleton is an external skeleton that supports and protects an animal's body
a vertebrate invertebrates are ones with an outer skeleton
Insects have an 'exo-skeleton' or outer-skeleton - instead of an internal bone structure.
Yes, like the hard outside covering on a beetle. (Its the outer covering of insects)
Outer skeleton that provides protection
This is called a cuticle. It functions as a waterproof barrier that covers the outer surface of the animal's body, reducing water loss and protecting the organism from drying out in arid environments.
The inner skeleton, or endoskeleton, provides an internal structure for organs and other tissue to support itself. An outer skeleton, or exoskeleton protects the animal with a suit of armor, so to speak. Things like snails and lobsters have exoskeletons.
Yes. It doesn't have a bony skeleton; its skeleton is its hard outer covering.
exoskeleton
any mammal has an internal skeleton but bugs have an exoskeleton
no. they have an outer-skeleton made of chitin like all insects. a backbone is part of an internal skeleton typical of vertebrates and BTW is about 10 times less effective then an outer skeleton
invertebrates are different from vertebrates because invertebrates have no backbone or have an outer skeleton. e.g a worm has no backbone e.g arthropods (insects) have an outer skeleton. if you were to stand on an arthropod (but dont because it is awfully cruel) you would hear/feel a crunch because its outer skeleton is breaking. f u
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.
