What is the difference in the skeleton between phylum arthropod and phylum chordate?

Phylum arthropoda is characterized by their exoskeleton, or "wearing" the anatomical compoent providing structure on the outside; whereas chordates usually have an internal skeleton or at least a notochord. Chordates like fish, birds, amphibians, reptiles, mammals are recognizable by having some kind of spinal column. (Chordates without a formal backbone still would not have an exoskeleton like the arthropods).
Chemical differences are also apparent, the bulk of arthropod skeletons are made from proteins including the tough long-chain polymer chitin, whereas chordates usually employ bones made from mineral compounds like those of calcium and phosphorus.

Do arthropods have jointed legs?
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.
