Best Answer

All legged arthropods have joints. Since arthropods have rigid exoskeletons, some degree of articulation or jointing would be essential else locomotion would be impossible. To provide the degrees of freedom necessary for effective locomotion, multiple joints per leg are necessary. The strategy varies somewhat from species to species in terms of the type and number of joints and length of each segment depending on the degrees of freedom required for each particular organism.

Anthropods have an exoskeleton in which their skeletons are on the outside of their body and ours are on the inside. Our joints are limited to the muscles surrounding the join while the arthropods are restricted to the limitations of the joint itself

The biggest difference between an arthropod skeleton and a human skeleton is that arthropods wear theirs on the outside of their bodies and we wear ours on the inside. Also, their skeletons are made of chitin and ours are made of bone.
