What is the skeletal system of earthworm?

Earthworms have a hydrostatic skeleton, relying on fluid-filled coelom compartments surrounded by muscles for support and movement. They do not have a hard, bony skeleton like vertebrates. The segments of an earthworm's body are held together by a system of muscles and connective tissue, allowing for flexibility and movement.


Why do you think it might difficult to put whole skeleton together?

Putting a whole skeleton together can be difficult because there are many different bones that need to be connected in the right order, and they can be fragile and easily break if not handled properly. Additionally, the complexity of the skeletal system and the various joints and connections between bones can make it challenging to assemble the entire skeleton accurately.


What are bones held together with?

They are held together by ligaments.


Why is a skeleton system called a skeleton system?

The skeleton system is called so because it forms the framework and support structure of the body, much like how a skeleton provides structure and support to an organism. It consists of bones, cartilage, ligaments, and tendons that work together to give the body its shape and allow for movement.


How does the ossa coxae compare in the fetal skeleton and adult skeleton?

In the fetal skeleton, the ossa coxae (hip bones) are not fully fused, and they consist of three separate bones: ilium, ischium, and pubis. In the adult skeleton, these three bones have fused together to form a single hip bone. Additionally, the acetabulum, the socket where the femur connects to the hip bone, is not fully developed in the fetal skeleton but is complete in the adult skeleton.
