An internal skeleton made of bone and cartilage is known as an endoskeleton. This type of skeletal system provides structural support, protects internal organs, and facilitates movement through the attachment of muscles. It is characteristic of vertebrates, including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish. The combination of bone and cartilage allows for flexibility and strength, adapting to various physical demands.
What else can I help you with?

Cartilage
Do all animals have the same type of skeleton?

What is skeleton originally made of in an embryo?

What is the skeleton of a jaw less fish made of?

Are reptiles skeletons made of bone or cartilage?
Frogs have a skeleton made mostly of bone with some piecesmade ofcartilage.
What is the skeleton of an embryo originally made of?

What is a shark's skeleton called?

Are sharks jaws made of bones?

Do frogs have a skeleton made of hard bone or cartilage?
Amphibians are vertebrates, meaning they have a backbone. The skeletal system is mostly made up of bone, but also contains some smaller portions of cartilage. Not all vertebrates have bone skeletons, Chondrichthyes (sharks, rays etc.) have skeletons made up entirely of cartilage. Amphibians however do not.
Do manta rays have a back bone?
Manta rays, as well as sharks, are members of a group of fish called elasmobronchs. This means that their entire skeleton is made of cartilage. Elasmobranchs are vertebrates (have a backbone -- made of cartilage).
