Yes, it does...it has an exoskeleton.
As with all arthropods, it has an exoskelton.
The skeleton of a centipede is primarily exoskeletal, meaning it is external rather than internal. It consists of a hardened outer casing made of chitin, which provides structure and protection. The centipede's body is segmented, with each segment typically housing one pair of legs, and it features a distinct head with antennae and mandibles. This unique structure allows for flexibility and mobility as it moves through its environment.
External, meaning outside. Thus, Outside(External) Skeleton.
Skeletons:All animals, including humans have skeletons. Humans have an internal skeleton. This means that our bones is on the inside of us. When an animal has an external skeleton it means that their skeleton is on the outside. These animals who have an external skeleton have what we commonly call shells. These shells are their skeleton which keeps their insides together. If you think of one of those big crabs and how there is a shell on the outside of them (not sea shells) this is their skeleton which is an external skeleton.
External - Exoskeleton .
No, we have our bones inside our bodies.
On the outside. For example, wasps have an external skeleton.
nothing.
A creature with an external skeleton is said to have an exo-skeleton.
No beetles have an exoskeleton or external skeleton not an internal skeleton (bones).
No, if you have an external skeleton, you don't have a backbone/vertebrae. Having vertebrae is the single qualifying factor for being a vertebrate.
A crab has an external hard shell, and is an invertebrate.
