Endoskeleton
From wikipedia
An endoskeleton is an internal support structure of an animal, composed of mineralized tissue. Endoskeleton develops within the skin or in the deeper body tissues. The vertebrate is basically an endoskeleton made up of two types of tissues (bone and cartilage). During early embryonic development the endoskeleton is composed of notochord and cartilage. The notochord in most vertebrates is replaced by vertebral column and cartilage is replaced by bone in most adults.In three phyla and one subclass of animals, endoskeletons of various complexity are found: Chordata, Echinodermata, Porifera, and Coleoidea. An endoskeleton may function purely for support (as in the case of sponges), but often serves as an attachment site for muscle and a mechanism for transmitting muscular forces. A true endoskeleton is derived from mesodermal tissue. Such a skeleton is present in echinoderms and chordates.
No, they're mollusks, and have no skeleton at all.
because they have no skeleton.
the type of respiratory organ mollusks have is GILLS.
All mollusks are invertebrates because they have no internal skeleton with a backbone. Sea slugs don't even have an external shell like most mollusks do!
Yes, they are invertebrates as they don't have a spine or an internal skeleton.
No - Crabs are crustaceans and have an exo skeleton meaning they have no bones under their shells
They have a type of skeleton called a hydrostatic skeleton. This type of skeleton is a fluid filled sac which is surrounded by muscles.
No. Because an octopus has no internal skeleton or spine/back bone, it is classified as an invertebrate.More information:The octopus is a mollusk, a grouping with many various characteristics. Squid are also mollusks. Both fit into the definition of invertebrates because they do not have an internal skeleton with a spine.
