How is a vertebrates skeleton similar to a arthropod?

Answer 1

exoskeleton
Arthropods have a skeleton on the outside, called an exoskeleton. (By contrast, vertebrates will have an internal skeleton or endoskeleton). The exoskeleton of arthropoda is made of a tough protein called chitin, a long chain polymer comparable to cellulose. It fills the same role as the protein keratin in other animals where it would be found in hair, nails, hooves, claws, beaks, etc. Some arthropods, like crustaceans, further harden their chitin exoskeleton by biomineralization with calcium carbonate. Because it is inflexible, the organism has to periodically shed it (moult) in order to grow, a process called ecdysis.

Answer 2

All arthropods have bilateral symmetry. This means they have symmetry across one plane (known as the sagittal plane, and directly down the centre of their body), which means one side of their body approximately mirrors the other side.

Answer 4

An arthropod is an invertebrate animal having an exoskeleton. Some arthropods have highly developed sense organs. Most species have paired compound eyes , and many also have a number of simpler eyes called ocelli.

Answer 5

Like an Arthropods exoskeleton, a vertebrates endoskeleton supports and protects the animals body and gives muscle a place to attach. Hope this helps:)

Answer 6

Yes, it's called the exoskeleton or carapace.
